Join us in congratulating Joyce J. Scott!

 

Joyce J. Scott was recently awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters by John Hopkins University.

“Johns Hopkins is recognizing Ms. Scott’s significant contributions to the visual arts, from beadwork to performance to sculpture. We are equally excited to honor another set of significant contributions she has made to the world, namely her visible and visionary commitment to art as a conduit for honoring the rich and storied history of our ancestors and for conveying profoundly resonant commentary on cultural stereotypes, systemic racism, and healing.”

-Roanld J. Daniels, 14th President of John Hopkins University (2022)

Scott accepted the award along with six other recipients, including: Bonnie Bassler, pioneering molecular biologist; Alexis Ohanian, tech entrepreneur; Samantha Power, Pulitzer Prize winner and Foreign policy expert; and Alfred Sommer, renowned epidemiologist and ophthalmologist.
