Johns Hopkins University
For Johns Hopkins, Appleseed examined the university’s impact as a significant enterprise in its own right – as an employer, a buyer of goods and services from Maryland companies, and a sponsor of major construction projects. Appleseed also discussed the ways in which Johns Hopkins contributes to the Baltimore and Maryland economies through activities related to its mission – through undergraduate, graduate and professional programs that contribute to the development of human capital, research that strengthens the economy and through its commitment to public service. Appleseed’s report included a focus on the university’s role in the revitalization of East Baltimore, one of the city’s largest low-income communities.
