Ronald Joel Daniels CM (born 1959) is the current president of The Johns Hopkins University, a position which he assumed on March 2, 2009. Previously, Daniels was the vice-president and provost at the University of Pennsylvania, and prior to this was dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Toronto. Daniels received his B.A. and J.D. degrees from the University of Toronto, where he was editor-in-chief of the University of Toronto Faculty of Law Review, and his LL.M. degree from Yale Law School.
In December 2016, Daniels was named a Member of the Order of Canada.
Since March 1, 2009, Ronald J. Daniels has served as the 14th president of The Johns Hopkins University, a Baltimore, Md.-based global research institution with a fully integrated academic medical center and health system.
Daniels has focused his leadership on three overarching themes – enhanced interdisciplinary collaboration, increased student access, and strengthened community engagement. These themes are the backbone of the Ten by Twenty, the university’s strategic vision through 2020.
Under Daniels’ leadership, the university has launched a series of transformative, cross-disciplinary initiatives that seek to address some of society’s most vexing issues, and created major faculty research awards for multidisciplinary discovery and early-career investigators. Drawing on a $350 million gift from Johns Hopkins alumnus Michael Bloomberg, the university is currently recruiting 50 new Bloomberg Distinguished Professors, whose appointments to two or more divisions create bridges between diverse disciplines.
