The Carey School of Business welcomes 15 new research and practice-track professors and lecturers to its full-time faculty for the start of the new academic year. The new number of full-time faculty working at Carey is now 88. In the past four years, the business school has hired 58 new full-time faculty members.
In a press release following the hires, Dean Bernard T. Ferrari said,
“We maintain a steadfast commitment to one of our school’s primary goals, which is to build a first-rate research and practice faculty that adds to the culture of knowledge creation and knowledge sharing for which Johns Hopkins, the first research university in the United States, is known.”
Of the 15 new faculty members, seven are in the research track and eight are in the practice track. Each is an accomplished educator and have earned advanced degrees at universities such as Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, Pennsylvania, Michigan, the University of California, Los Angeles, George Washington, Michigan State, Pittsburgh, and, of course, Johns Hopkins.
