Indispensable Role of Blacks at JHU Induction Ceremony

Description

The project recognizes the Black students, faculty, and staff who have contributed to the university's rich history and who have brought honor to Johns Hopkins through their achievements.

This year's inductees are:

• Sharon Solomon, Katharine M. Graham Professor of Ophthalmology and the first African American to be named full professor at the Wilmer Eye Institute
• Sherita Hill Golden, professor of medicine and vice president and chief diversity officer for the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
• Sharon Morris, retired director of the Washington, D.C., Regional Libraries for Johns Hopkins
• Maryland State Senator Charles Sydnor III

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the digital exhibit. We are also honoring and acknowledging our past inductees who are able to attend the ceremony.

The IRB is co-sponsored by the Johns Hopkins Black Faculty and Staff Association, the Office of the President, and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

Light fare will be provided.

Editor's note: A previous version of this event listing credited Sharon Solomon as being the first African-American woman to be named a full professor of ophthalmology. She is the first African-American, male or female, to be named a full professor of ophthalmology. The Hub regret the error.
