onald J. Daniels has been a champion of community Rengagement since he became president of Johns Hopkins University, the nation’s first research university, in 2009. Last fall, Daniels talked about the challenges facing Baltimore and renewed the university’s commitment to improving the city and the lives of Baltimoreans during the Renewing Our Communities conference, which was sponsored in part by the university. “As president of Johns Hopkins, now entering my 10th year, I am keenly aware of Baltimore’s immense resources and potential as well as its trials,” he said. “I am equally aware of the role Johns Hopkins has played. Indeed, our university and medical system’s history is inextricably linked — from our founding — to this city we have called home for 142 years. And as I have often said, Johns Hopkins is not just in, but truly — and determinedly — of this city.” Daniels said the university, as one of Baltimore’s anchor institutions, has a responsibility to the city and is committed to its ongoing community partnerships with many stakeholders, such as a high school-to-jobs pipeline program in one troubled neighborhood in the city. Daniels also highlighted real estate development funds, the operation of a new public school, the creation of a new park and new housing in East Baltimore, and the creation and expansion of an economic inclusion program established around 27 Baltimore-area institutions that are working to commit to building, buying and hiring locally. “We are committed to this city because we know that place matters,” Daniels said. “Place matters because it determines opportunity and determines longevity. In Baltimore City, residents of our most affluent neighborhoods have a life expectancy almost 20 years longer than residents of our most disadvantaged communities. “Our city remains in the grip of stubbornly persistent and deeply felt challenges: a lack of economic opportunity, Leadership is not only the limited educational opportunities and concentrated crime that rends our communities and annihilates the futures of commitment to a goal, but the so many of our children and communities,” he said. “But Baltimore is also a city of extraordinary creativity, optimism ability to motivate those who and unwavering commitment to the communities of which “ we are a part.” share that goal to achieve it Before coming to Johns Hopkins, Daniels was provost and professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania, and – and empowering people to dean and James M.

rom the very beginning of her law practice, Sheela FMurthy has been engaged in philanthropy. Starting in the mid-1990s, she used her firm’s website, murthy.com, to educate people about U.S. immigration law. This early work on the internet drew a large following and shaped the law firm. It is one of the most-viewed legal websites in the world. Murthy was born in India and was deeply influenced by her father, who worked hard to become an officer in the Indian army after growing up in poverty. He told his daughters it was an accident of birth that made them fortunate daughters instead of children in a poor family. Murthy graduated from Harvard Law School and is admitted to practice as an attorney in New York, Maryland and the U.S. Supreme Court. Helping others inspires and informs all of Murthy’s work. As an immigrant, Murthy knows how complex applications can be and how long one must wait. At Murthy Law Firm, she asks attorneys, paralegals and client service staff to be patient and sympathetic with clients. If clients call often, it is not because they are trying to be difficult; it is because they are worried about the direction of the rest of their lives. Murthy and her husband, Vasant Nayak, started the Murthy-Nayak Foundation (MNF) to help with children’s and women’s health and educational needs, orphanages and old-age homes, and to support programs that assist immigrants to the United States, educate and advocate for U.S. immigration and support disaster relief efforts. Murthy also is co-chair for the United Way of Central Maryland Women’s United Women’s Forum, a member of Stevenson University Board of Trustees, a member of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce Foundation Committee and a legal adviser for IT Serve Alliance. She presents papers and speaks on complex immigration law issues before the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and other national and Leadership has many aspects international organizations. She is a past member of the American Immigration Council’s Board of Trustees (2002- but the one that I believe is 2009) and, for a number of years, co-chaired the American Immigration Council’s Annual Immigrant Achievement most meaningful is servant Awards. “ “I am honored to join the Circle of Influence,” Murthy leadership with the goal to said. “I humbly accept this award on behalf of the millions of hard-working immigrants who have come to this great serve and lead by example, country, a nation of immigrants, to realize their American dream, and who, like me, believe in hard work and giving helping, mentoring, supporting back to this country, to help make America the greatest nation on earth.” and empowering others.
