Enrollment

Retired faculty from the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, Whiting School of Engineering, Carey Business School, School of Advanced International Studies, the Peabody Institute, and the School of Education are eligible to join The Academy at Johns Hopkins, Homewood Campus.

Membership in The Academy reflects a commitment to remain actively engaged in scholarly, research and academic life. Members are expected to participate in Academy weekly meetings and activities. New members are invited to deliver a valedictory lecture to fellow Academy colleagues.

Are you a current faculty member planning for retirement and wondering what it takes to become eligible? Faculty are eligible for retirement from Johns Hopkins, and thus eligible for Academy membership, if they are:

• Age 55 or older with at least 10 years of full-time service, or
• Have at least 30 years of full-time service, regardless of age.

Johns Hopkins values its retired faculty as a vital part of the university community. The Academy offers a space for continued engagement—whether through active scholarship, mentoring, or simply staying connected with colleagues and students.

Academy members often continue their scholarly and research work, attend and contribute to academic events, and remain intellectually engaged through a variety of university-supported activities.

Key benefits of membership include:

• Annual research allowance/discretionary fund for up to 10 years (contact the Academy for details).
• Appointment to The Academy is lifetime (or until death).

• Access to weekly Academy meetings, which include
  • Formal lectures by Academy members, invited speakers, visiting Scholars, and University leadership
  • Informal discussions
  • Informative sessions from university offices (e.g., Human Resources)
• Access to the Academy suite (currently located in the Johns Hopkins Club) which includes shared office space.
• Full library privileges and JHU email access.
• Administrative support from the Academy staff.
• Ability to invite visiting scholars for thematic seminars.

Academy members are permitted to submit grant applications and can simultaneously hold the title of Professor Emeritus. While there are no teaching or service requirements, Academy members may take on teaching or research roles by arrangement with their academic department and school dean.

Members are asked to complete a brief annual activity questionnaire to support the Academy’s Annual Report.
