Professional Biography

Gange earned a B.S. from Cornell University and Ph.D. in statistics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison under Professor David DeMets. [4] [5] He joined the faculty in the Department of Epidemiology in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in 1994 and became a tenured full professor in 2007. Between 2003 and 2004, he played a pivotal role in establishing a new epidemiology department at Amgen Inc. He has been the primary advisor to more than 25 graduate students and the primary instructor for over 15 different onsite and online courses. He was elected as the Epidemiology representative to the school's Faculty Senate in 2006 and was subsequently elected president, serving as a member of the school's Advisory Board from 2007-10.

Beginning in 2009, he was asked to serve as the department's Deputy Chair and PhD program director by David Celentano until 2012 when he was appointed by Dean Michael Klag as the school's Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. As the chief academic officer of the #1 ranked School of Public Health, Gange held diverse responsibilities, overseeing a large institution with over 600 full-time faculty and 1900 students across 65 specialty areas. In addition to developing a strategic vision for the school's educational programs, he worked closely with the Dean, department chairs, and other academic leaders to implement new academic programs, with a focus on online learning and international initiatives, including leading/fostering three novel degree programs (Master of Applied Science, Master of Bioethics, and Master of Applied Public Health Biology). He led the school's successful reaccreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) and oversaw several major academic offices, including Graduate Education, Center for Teaching and Learning, Student Affairs, International Education, Public Health Practice and Training, the schoolwide MPH & DrPH Programs, Research Compliance, Institutional Review Board, and Academic Integrity. He helped establish a collaborative MPH with IIHMR/Jaipur in India and was instrumental in establishing a DrPH in Healthcare Management and Leadership program in collaboration with Tsinghua University and was the instructor for the program's Principles of Epidemiology course from 2017-2021.

In 2015, he was appointed by Provost Robert Lieberman in a newly designed university role as Executive Vice Provost for Academic Affairs of Johns Hopkins University. [6] In this role, Gange provides leadership in academic affairs across the university, enhancing the educational experience for Johns Hopkins students, and fostering innovations in teaching and learning. He oversees the Office of International Student and Scholar Services, directs the Student Services Excellence Initiative (SSEI), [7] and launched both the University Registrar [8] and Student Enrollment and Accounts Management (SEAM) [9] [10] organizations.

Between 2020-2, he chaired the university COVID-19 Return to Campus Steering Committee and academic program continuity workgroup that was responsible for the operational and policy changes across the university. This included coordinating and executing complex changes to operations with senior leadership, consultative bodies, school and university business units, and external groups (including peer schools, parents, and university associations). Moreover, this group developed and communicated policies and changes in numerous venues, including responsibility for the university’s main source of information and dashboards (covidinfo.jhu.edu), universitywide resources for faculty and students (keepteaching.jhu.edu), and co-authoring university wide correspondence on policy and procedural changes. He organized and participated in more than a dozen universitywide townhalls as well as numerous school and constituent-focused town halls.

During Summer 2022, Gange stepped in to lead the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth on an interim basis and help the organization navigate a challenging period after it was forced to cancel several of its flagship summer courses with little advance notice due to insufficient staffing. [11] [12]

Beginning May 1, 2023, with the departure of Sunil Kumar, Gange served as interim provost [13] [5] until Ray Jayawardhana assumed the position on October 15, 2023. [14] He is continuing as Executive Vice Provost as part of Provost Jayawardhana's leadership team. [15]

Awards

In 2015, Gange was awarded the Ernest Lyman Stebbins Medal [16] that recognizes a member of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health faculty who has made extraordinary contributions to the teaching programs at the Bloomberg School over a period of at least five years. He is a fellow of the American College of Epidemiology, an elected member of the American Epidemiological Society, and an elected member of the Delta Omega Honorary Public Health Society [13] [5]
