Carey Business School adds seven to full-time faculty

The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School has added seven research- and practice-track professors and lecturers to its full-time faculty for the start of the 2017–18 academic year, bringing the school's total number of full-time faculty members to 93. 

With these additions, the Carey Business School, established in 2007, has hired 65 full-time faculty members during the past five years.

"Carey recently received accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, which we view in part as recognition of our long-standing efforts to create a first-rate research and practice faculty," says Dean Bernard T. Ferrari. "Our recent additions to our faculty underscore our focus on attracting the highest-quality faculty talent. Our newest faculty will add to the culture of knowledge creation and knowledge sharing for which Johns Hopkins, the first research university in the United States, is known."
