Livestream / President's Frontier Award Lecture 2023

Join us for the virtual livestream of the 2023 President's Frontier Award Lecture in celebration of this year's recipient, Dr. Melissa Walls. The presentation will include remarks from Ray Jayawardhana, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, introductions from Ellen MacKenzie, Dean, Bloomberg School of Public Health and Q&A led by Denis Wirtz, Vice Provost for Research.

The President's Frontier Award was established with a $2.5 million donation from trustee Louis J. Forster to support exceptional scholars among the Johns Hopkins faculty transforming their fields. In 2021, the original award was partnered with a $1 million donation from alumnus David Smilow. Award recipients receive $250,000 and finalists are recognized with substantial funding to further fund their work.
