Eleven faculty, staff members, and students from Johns Hopkins University and Medicine have been selected to receive the 2025 Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Award for Community Service. This special honor recognizes those from Hopkins who demonstrate King's values of service and selflessness through their exceptional volunteer work.
They will be honored Friday during the 44th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Alvin "Joe" D'Angelo, vice president of operations at Suburban Hospital, will also be recognized with the 2026 Levi Watkins Jr. Ideals Award. Named in honor of Levi Watkins, Johns Hopkins Medicine's first Black chief resident and full professor and the founder of Johns Hopkins' annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration event, this award is given annually to a leader at Johns Hopkins Hospital who has made an outstanding contribution to the institution.
