Johns Hopkins University Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences

Johns Hopkins University Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences The Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences is the core institution of the JHU Homewood campus.

Offering comprehensive undergraduate and graduate education, the Krieger School is at the core of the Johns Hopkins complex of schools, centers, and institutes. More than 135 years after the University opened, the School of Arts and Sciences still follows the guiding principles of Hopkins’s visionary first president, Daniel Coit Gilman, which position the school at the forefront of knowledge. The

plan that Gilman devised and began to carry out in 1876 established Johns Hopkins as the nation’s first research university—that is, an institution in which every faculty member was actively engaged in original investigations. Gilman dismissed the notion that teaching and research are separate endeavors; he believed that success in one depended on success in the other. The realization of Gilman’s philosophy at Hopkins, and at other institutions that later attracted Hopkins-trained scholars, revolutionized higher education in America, leading to the modern research university system. Johns Hopkins has been responding to the world’s needs since its inception in 1876. The Krieger School is uniquely situated to build on that tradition by providing research opportunities to students in all disciplines as early as their freshman year and by creating innovative partnerships with the other divisions of the university.

Even expert forecasters get it wrong in predictable ways. Qingyuan Fang, a PhD student in Economics, is researching whether machine-learning algorithms can correct the systematic biases that lead human forecasters off course, and build toward better policymaking.

“Jimmy” Takes 🚎: episode 4

From a First-Year Seminar to Commencement, some Hopkins connections last far beyond the classroom.

Nearly four years after meeting in a First-Year Seminar, graduating senior Arionna Bell and Professor Robert Moffitt sat down to reflect on mentorship, service, and what comes next as Arionna prepares to cross the stage and Professor Moffitt prepares for retirement.

Their conversation is a reminder that some of the most meaningful parts of college happen in the relationships that shape us long after class ends.
