They are supported by a $350 million gift to Johns Hopkins University from philanthropist, Hopkins graduate, and three-term New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. Meet the Bloomberg Professors Learn more about the leading scholars pursuing big ideas at Hopkins as part of the Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships program The majority of Bloomberg’s gift is dedicated to creating 50 interdisciplinary professorships. The Bloomberg Professors bridge the university’s academic divisions, conduct and stimulate innovative research that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries, and train a new generation of native “interdisciplinarians.” The program is currently recruiting top researchers from around the world, with a goal of having all 50 Bloomberg Professors at Johns Hopkins by the end of 2018. When you think about a lot of issues we face in contemporary society—whether you’re looking at environmental issues, the challenges of global development, cities that work or cities that don’t work—it’s clear that you can’t solve these problems through the perspective of one school or one department acting alone. What you need is to bring several scholarly approaches together. Ronald J. Daniels President Johns Hopkins University Autumn 2022 Along with $7 million, Johns Hopkins gave his Clifton estate to the trustees, intending that the university would eventually be located there, but the property was sold to the City of Baltimore in the 1880s. Clifton mansion still stands, and the grounds where the university would have been are now a public golf course.
