Alumni Association Awards

Every year, the Johns Hopkins Alumni Association presents six categories of awards to honor outstanding alumni, faculty, and friends of Johns Hopkins. Last year, our community recognized our 2022 recipients during our in person celebration on October 7, 2022 at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore. Our 2023 award recipients will be recognized on Friday, October 20, 2023 in Washington, D.C.
