Shanon Shumpert, who established and leads the office of institutional equity at one of the nation’s leading academic health systems in Chicago, has been appointed the next vice provost for institutional equity at Johns Hopkins University (JHU).
She will join the Office of Institutional Equity on July 1, assuming a role responsible for overseeing the university’s affirmative action and equal opportunity compliance efforts.
Shumpert comes to Johns Hopkins from Rush University System for Health in Chicago, where she has served in a leadership role since 2013.
“We found Shanon’s extensive experience, her vision for this critical role and her legal and management expertise extremely compelling,” said Sunil Kumar, Johns Hopkins University’s provost and senior vice president for academic affairs.
“The Office of Institutional Equity plays an integral role in keeping our campus safe and welcoming for all,” Shumpert said.
