LEARN MORE: about the Just as Johns Hopkins was not the average business man. Johns Hopkins Carey Business School legacy Johns Hopkins’ mother saw her child’s innate business ability and pushed at carey.jhu.edu/about/ him to “go where the money is.” After arriving in Baltimore, Johns quickly johns-hopkins-legacy advanced from store clerk to finance capitalist and ultimately bank president. Before Johns Hopkins was a hospital or a university, Johns was a businessman building for what’s next. Even after he made his fortune, he remained committed to creating lasting value. It was that quest to build for what’s next that drove Johns to create America’s first research university and set a new course for education. W.P. Carey also saw the chance to create lasting value for business education and by pledging his support ensures that the future generations will have the same opportunity, like Johns, to thrive within change and advance society. That vision of building for tomorrow continues with the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. Together, we build for what’s next.
