Alicia Wilson, who led community and economic development initiatives at Johns Hopkins from 2019 to 2023, is returning to Hopkins as its first-ever vice president for civic engagement and opportunity. She will start her new position in March.
Wilson originally joined Hopkins in July of 2019 as vice president for economic development and community partnerships, the first person to hold that position. For the past two years, she has served as managing director of JPMorgan Chase’s North American regional philanthropy team, overseeing the organization’s philanthropic strategies in more than 40 markets. Since 2023, she has been a member of Hopkins’ board of trustees, a position she will give up when she returns to Hopkins.
According to the JHU Hub, Wilson will report to Hopkins president Ron Daniels and work closely with several other university and health system leaders “to strengthen partnerships across the city and maximize the impact of the university’s civic engagement and investments.” In addition to Daniels, the Hub said, she will work with Maria Harris Tildon, vice president for government, community, and economic partnerships, and Beth Blauer, who was recently promoted to the role of vice president for public impact initiatives.
