BALTIMORE, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- The Johns Hopkins University in Maryland announced Tuesday Ronald J. Daniels will become the school's 14th president.

Daniels currently is provost and chief academic officer of the University of Pennsylvania. He will succeed William R. Brody, who is stepping down in February after nearly 12 years as leader of the university and medical school.

"Ron is a strategic thinker, known for articulating and implementing bold and visionary academic ideas and initiatives," Pamela P. Flaherty, chairwoman of the board of trustees, said in a statement.
