Joining The Academy
Retired faculty are one of Johns Hopkins’ greatest assets. The entire university community benefits from their involvement on campus, both with each other and with current faculty and students. Many retired faculty choose to remain actively engaged in their scholarship after they retire, and they prefer to pursue their scholarly activities within the context of the university community. Others wish to stay involved by attending lectures, contributing to and following new developments in fields of interest. The scholarly activity of The Academy includes research opportunities and benefits, valedictory lectures given by new Academy members, and regular themed seminars organized by Academy professors.
Eligibility
