Quote from Ron Daniels
As we dedicate this building, we also rededicate ourselves to the founding idea of the modern research university—to the university as an institution resolutely devoted to the promise of discovery and knowledge to impact our world.
Since our School of Advanced International Studies officially became a part of the university in 1950, Johns ½ûÂþÌìÌà has maintained a presence in the nation’s capital, combining international politics, economics, and foreign language in an innovative curriculum for current and future leaders in government, civil society, and the private sector.
The opening of the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Bloomberg Center begins a new chapter for Johns ½ûÂþÌìÌà in Washington, D.C., one brimming with the promise of unique student experiences, unprecedented opportunities for learning and leading, and the potential to bring the benefits of discovery to the world.
