Diversity Leadership Council Nominations

The Johns Hopkins Institutions Diversity Leadership Council, established by President Brody in 1997, is in the process of identifying new faculty, staff and students to serve on the council. The council serves as advisory to the president and senior leadership on diversity issues in both the university and health system.

The DLC meets once a month. Membership, which is for one- or two-year terms with a time commitment of four to six hours per month, requires a commitment to diversity and inclusion and the ability to communicate across and about differences.

Nominations, including a short biography and brief description of the candidate's reason for wishing to serve on the council, may be submitted to [email protected] or by campus mail to DLC Nomination, 130 Garland Hall, Homewood campus. Self-nominations are encouraged from all levels of the university (including APL) and the health system. The deadline for receiving nominations is Friday, May 23. More information on the DLC is available on the Web at www.jhuaa.org/dlc.
