Alicia Wilson

Alicia Wilson serves as Vice President for Civic Engagement & Opportunity for Johns Hopkins University.

Wilson will lend her considerable experience and expertise to a variety of Johns Hopkins programs and initiatives, including the establishment of the Innovation Fund for Community-Academic Partnerships, as called for in the university’s Second Roadmap, and the university’s programs and partnerships with K-12 public schools in Baltimore. Wilson will also be an adviser on several high-priority public impact initiatives, including the recently announced Baltimore Strategic Impact Initiative; HopkinsLocal, the institution’s signature economic inclusion effort; and various other economic and community development projects.

She has spent the past two years as managing director of JPMorgan Chase’s North American regional philanthropy team, overseeing Chase’s local philanthropic strategies across more than 40 markets. She has also been a member of the university’s board of trustees since 2023, a position she will relinquish when she assumes her new role.

Wilson holds an undergraduate degree in political science from the University of Maryland Baltimore County and a law degree from the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. Prior to joining Hopkins in 2019, she served as the senior vice president of impact investments and senior legal counsel for the Port Covington Development Team.
