Enriching the Undergraduate
Student Life Experience
Hopkins Parents Fund
The Hopkins Parents Fund is vital to
enhancing student life and providing
an important balance to the rigors of
a Johns Hopkins education. Hopkins
does not charge additional student fees;
therefore, it is the gifts from parents and
grandparents that make an immediate and
important impact toward supporting the
student life experience on the Homewood
campus. The Parents Fund supports
myriad student activities and allows for the
creation of new and interesting student
programs that positively impact the quality
of student life. These initiatives throughout
the year would not otherwise be funded.
Become a Hopkins Parent Ambassador
Call parents of newly accepted or
admitted students to welcome them and
serve as a local point of contact.
Greet new parents during campus events.
Host a Hopkins parent reception with
University administration and faculty in
your home, club or place of business.

Student Life: Popular traditions
such as Lighting of the Quads,
Spring Fair, Signature Class events
and musical concerts headlining
national bands all provide social
opportunities throughout the
year. Most recently, the Blue Jay
Beach Bash on the first night of
classes and the fall HOPtoberFest
have added more opportunities
for building Homewood student
community.
Academic Initiatives: Opportunities
for student-faculty interaction
outside the classroom include the
popular Dinners with the Dean and
activities supported through Faculty
Student Interaction Grants. Students
enjoy lectures presented by national
and global leaders through the
MSE Symposium, Conversations in
Medicine and the Foreign Affairs
Symposium throughout the year.
The Freshman Book Read provides
a bonding theme throughout the fall
semester.
Special Projects: Campus artwork,
student amenities in Charles
Commons, the renovation of student
common space such as Wolman
Hall, and technology enhancements
in campus communications.
Rising to the Challenge: The
Campaign for Johns Hopkins
Raising unprecedented levels of
support to attract, sustain, and further
empower the people of Johns Hopkins
— our students, faculty, researchers and
clinicians — one of the campaign’s three
major thrusts is Enriching the Student
Experience. Through donor gifts, the
campaign will invest in scholarships and
fellowships, inspirational learning spaces
for collaborative learning and social
opportunities, and new student programs.
These programs will enhance studentfaculty interaction, ensure diversity on
campus, link learning in the classroom
12
to life after graduation, and strengthen
connections between students and our
surrounding communities.
Johns Hopkins Parents Fund shares the
campaign’s goals. When you support the
Hopkins Parents Fund, you are furthering
the cause of the Rising to the Challenge
campaign.
How to Give
All parents and grandparents are
encouraged to participate, and help
support the creative initiatives that enliven
the campus and provide all students
with a comfortable and secure learning
environment.

All About Johns Hopkins
History & Mission
The Johns Hopkins University
opened in 1876, with the
inauguration of its first
president, Daniel Coit Gilman.
“What are we aiming at?” Gilman
asked in his installation address.
“The encouragement of research
... and the advancement of
individual scholars, who by their
excellence will advance the
sciences they pursue and the
society where they dwell.”
The goals laid out by Gilman remain the
University’s guiding principles, summed
up in a simple but powerful restatement of
Gilman’s own words: “Knowledge for the
world.”
Exploration and discovery have
always been at the heart of
the undergraduate experience
at Johns Hopkins. With the
guidance of world-renowned
professors and scientists, our
students challenge the frontiers
of every subject imaginable.
Once they arrive on campus, our
undergraduates become part
of an engaged and supportive
community in which they can
learn and thrive.
Johns Hopkins is a world leader in
teaching and research, renowned
for its commitment to excellence and
independent inquiry. Our goal is to create
new knowledge and innovation that
makes an impact on the world, and our
students embrace that goal with passion,
curiosity, and dedication.
14
From the classroom to the art studio to the
lacrosse field, our priority is to educate the
whole person, to support each student’s
intellectual passion, to get to know their
own personal interests and discover how
to help them succeed.
In addition to the Krieger School of Arts
and Sciences and the Whiting School of
Engineering, the University has seven
other academic divisions and campuses
in the Baltimore-Washington area: the
Peabody Institute, a leading music
conservatory; the School of Education, the
Carey Business School, the Bloomberg
School of Public Health, the School
of Medicine, the School of Nursing,
the research-based Applied Physics
Laboratory, and the Paul H. Nitze School
of Advanced International Studies.
What Gilman created was a research
University, dedicated to advancing both
students’ knowledge and the state of
human knowledge through research and
scholarship. Gilman believed that teaching
and research are interdependent, that
success in one depends on success in the
other. A modern university, he believed,
must do both well. The realization of
Gilman’s philosophy at Johns Hopkins,
15
and at other institutions that later
attracted Johns Hopkins-trained scholars,
revolutionized higher education in
America, leading to the research university
system as it exists today.
The mission of The Johns Hopkins
University is to educate its students
and cultivate their capacity for life-long
learning, to foster independent and
original research, and to bring the benefits
of discovery to the world.
The University is named for its benefactor,
an important investor in the nation’s
first major railroad, the Baltimore and
Ohio. Johns Hopkins was born in 1795
on his family’s tobacco plantation in
southern Maryland. His formal education
ended in 1807, when his parents, devout
Quakers, decided on the basis of religious
conviction, to free their slaves and put
Johns and his brother to work in the fields.
He left home at 17 for Baltimore and a job
in business with an uncle, and by the age
of 24 had established his own mercantile
house.
Why the extra “s” in Johns? Because it
was originally a last name: Johns Hopkins’
great-grandmother was Margaret Johns,
the daughter of Richard Johns, owner of a
4,000-acre estate in Calvert County, Md.
Zanvyl Krieger School
of Arts & Sciences
Beverly Wendland, Interim Dean, krieger.jhu.edu
In 1867, Hopkins arranged for the
incorporation of The Johns Hopkins
University and The Johns Hopkins
Hospital, and for the appointment of a
12-member board of trustees for each.
He died on Christmas Eve 1873, leaving
$7 million to be divided equally between
the two institutions. It was, at the time,
the largest philanthropic bequest in U.S.
history.
With an incredible array of
academic opportunities and a
bustling campus community,
this is an ideal time to be a
student in the School of Arts and
Sciences.
In Arts and Sciences, students explore
new and expanded programs in
archaeology, East Asian studies, global
environmental change and sustainability,
museums and society, and more, and in
doing so, they learn from and collaborate
16
with the school’s stellar faculty — some
of the most accomplished scholars and
scientists.
The School of Arts and Sciences
encompasses 22 academic departments
and more than 30 centers and programs,
offering 37 undergraduate majors and
33 minors. Learning in the liberal arts is
characterized by excellence and variety
here; Hopkins students go beyond the
classroom to explore their worlds in bold
new ways.

Recent Achievements
•
Undergraduates at Johns Hopkins have myriad opportunities to conduct
scholarly research. Added to the list is the recently introduced Dean’s
Undergraduate Research Awards (DURA). The program provides select
undergraduates (guided by faculty mentors) $500 to $3,000 grants for
research in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Research
topics have ranged from Baltimore’s street art culture to the evolution of
medical waste disposal technology.
•
This year marked the premiere of Particle Fever, an award-winning
documentary directed by Krieger School Professor David Kaplan. The film
tracks the extraordinary physics taking place at the Large Hadron Collider,
which recently led to the discovery of the Higgs boson.
•
Two professors from the Krieger School were recently elected to the National
Academy of Sciences in recognition of their distinguished and continuing
achievements in original research. Kathryn Edin, a Bloomberg Distinguished
Professor in the Department of Sociology, and Joseph Silk, the Homewood
Professor of Physics and Astronomy, were selected by the academy, bringing
to 28 the number of current Johns Hopkins faculty members elected to the
National Academy of Sciences.
•
The Krieger School has joined with Johns Hopkins’ School of Education to
create a scholarship program to support recent Arts & Sciences graduates
who want to make a difference in urban schools. Each year, five full-tuition
Baltimore Education Fellows Scholarships will be awarded to support students
in the full-time Master of Arts in Teaching program, while also getting hands-on
experience teaching in Baltimore schools.
•
The Krieger School has embarked on a unique partnership with the Peabody
Institute, the Maryland College of Art, and the Maryland Film Festival
to transform part of Baltimore’s Station North Arts District into a vibrant
headquarters for advanced film studies, filmmaking, film screening, and
creative entrepreneurship.
Whiting School
of Engineering
T.E. “Ed” Schlesinger, Benjamin T. Rome Dean, engineering.jhu.edu
It’s an exciting time to be an
engineer — especially at Johns
Hopkins, where engineering
encompasses everything
from robotics, cryptology,
tissue engineering, and
nanotechnology to wind energy
and medical device design.
Undergraduates at the Whiting School
of Engineering are immersed in a
remarkable, collaborative environment
and are guided by teachers who are
leaders in their fields. Engineering
students learn to think creatively while
drawing upon mathematical and scientific
principles as they tackle real-world
problems.
18
The Whiting School offers 14
degree programs in nine academic
departments, as well as popular minors
in fields including entrepreneurship and
management (through the school’s Center
for Leadership Education), robotics and
engineering for sustainable development.
Outside the classroom, students have
opportunities to conduct research, take
part in internships and participate in
a wide variety of engineering student
groups, including the very active Hopkins
chapters of Engineers Without Borders,
the Society of Women Engineers, and the
Robotics Club.

In 2014, the Whiting School of Engineering and the Johns Hopkins Applied
Physics Laboratory (APL) launched SPUR, the APL/WSE-Summer Program
in Undergraduate Research. This prestigious and competitive summer
internship program provides paid internships to a select group of WSE
undergraduates to conduct research at the Applied Physics Laboratory on
APL-sponsored projects in areas including cyber operations, air and missile
defense and space exploration.
•
In the fall of 2014, the Whiting School of Engineering’s newest facility, Malone
Hall, is scheduled to open. This 56,000 square-foot research building
will house the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute, the Johns Hopkins
Information Security Institute, the Systems Institute, and the Department of
Computer Science. The building was funded through a $30 million gift from
Hopkins Engineering alumnus John C. Malone, PhD ’67.
•
Every summer, the Whiting School’s Vredenburg Scholarship program
enables outstanding engineering students to apply their engineering,
technology, and applied science skills and training in an international
setting. The scholarship encourages students to broaden their engineering
experience by giving them the chance to participate in international
experiential activities through collaboration, investigation, and application.
Last summer, 15 engineering undergraduates received funding through the
Vredenburg program to study and conduct research in locations ranging from
Switzerland and Ireland to Rwanda and New Zealand.
•
Computer scientist Matthew Green, a member of the Johns Hopkins
University Information Security Institute, has developed “Zerocoin,”
the first-ever digital currency that both preserves users’ privacy and is
practical enough for general use. In addition, Green and a colleague made
international news in 2014 when they demonstrated the presence of a socalled “back door” in software that a security firm developed with the NSA.
The feature makes it easier for the under-fire intelligence agency to intercept
Internet communications.
•
A team of undergraduates in an applied mathematics and statistics
optimization class has used powerful computing and advanced math to
create a new scheduling system that promises to revolutionize the task of
scheduling minor league baseball seasons. Until now, seasons must be
scheduled by hand, and challenges ranged from making sure each team has
the right mix of home and away games to ensuring that there are enough
dates reserved for division rivals and setting aside a fair share of lucrative
weekend dates per team. The impressive results were presented at last
winter’s meeting of minor league baseball executives, and several have
expressed interest.

Despite the increasing virtual
nature of research and
scholarship, the Sheridan
Libraries remain the intellectual,
cultural, and social heart of
Johns Hopkins University.
And while “the library” for undergraduates
is often shorthand for the Eisenhower
Library and Brody Learning Commons
on Homewood campus, the Sheridan
Libraries include the John Work Garrett
Library at Evergreen, the Albert D. Hutzler
Reading Room in Gilman Hall, the George
Peabody Library in Mount Vernon, and the
DC Regional Library Centers.
The Brody Learning Commons is a fourstory hub for collaborative learning that
connects to the Eisenhower Library on
all levels. Featuring a robust technology
infrastructure, 16 group study rooms, a
100-seat quiet reading room, and a new
cafe, the Commons, is designed for the
ways in which 21st century library user’s
research, study, and socialize.

Want to Know More?
From rare books and manuscripts,
including some of the earliest maps of
the Americas and a first folio edition
of Shakespeare’s plays, to essential
databases like PubMed and Web of
Science, Johns Hopkins students truly
have the world at their fingertips. More
importantly, students have access to the
world’s finest search engines: Hopkins
librarians.
Research services librarians are subject
specialists, responsible for building
strong, client-centered relationships with
the faculty and students in the disciplines
he or she serves. By integrating reference,
instruction, and collection development
activities and aligning them closely with
academic programs, the librarians are
true partners for faculty and an invaluable

Homewood Campus
The Homewood campus, located
in the northern Baltimore
neighborhood of Charles Village,
is 140 acres of green, inviting
space. With tree-lined walkways
and lots of places to sit and
chat, the campus is a hub for
students to meet and share
ideas. It’s a diverse and inclusive
environment, where there’s
always an intellectual spark in
the air.
Johns Hopkins — and provides a link
between area campuses and gives
students the opportunity to take
advantage of courses and events at other
colleges — and a shuttle bus to take them
there and back. For more information, visit
www.BaltimoreCollegetown.org.
Activities on campus range from
screenings of the latest movies to art
exhibitions to lectures to concerts. If
students want to step off campus, the
neighborhood is home to bookstores,
restaurants, the Baltimore Museum of
Art, a farmer’s market — all within walking
distance. And for those who want to
explore Baltimore, you can hop on a
shuttle and head downtown. Located just
minutes from campus are the Inner Harbor,
Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the National
Aquarium, and quaint neighborhoods such
as Fells Point, home to acclaimed seafood
restaurants and lovely waterfront views.
Housing & Dining
Services
Housing
The Housing Services office, working
closely with the department of Residential
Life, creates the “stage” where livinglearning communities flourish. Providing
quality facilities and services to
students, the office strives to create a
safe, comfortable, educational living
environment. We guarantee freshmen and
sophomores housing on campus, enabling
them to partake in a unique residential
experience and builds community.
The Housing Services office operates
campus residential buildings and
maintains their condition and cleanliness.
In addition, freshmen room assignments,
sophomore room selection, summer
housing, and move-in and move-out
logistics are managed and orchestrated by
Housing Services.
The office assists upperclassmen with
locating living accommodations close to
campus, providing off-campus housing
listings as well as general information
about the off-campus housing search
process.
(continued on p. 30)
The shuttle also stops at the Peabody
Institute in Baltimore’s historic Mount
Vernon neighborhood and at Johns
Hopkins East Baltimore campus, home to
the schools of Medicine, Public Health,
and Nursing.
Johns Hopkins students are also part
of a larger college community as there

The Office of
Residential Life
The Office of Residential Life, along with the departments of
Housing and Dining Services, share the belief that through
group living, students develop important personal, social,
and interpersonal skills.
Krieger School Office of
Academic Advising
Whiting School Office of
Academic Advising
The Office of Academic Advising in the
Krieger School of Arts and Sciences
promotes intellectual exploration
providing students the counsel and
encouragement to find courses, majors,
and minors that suit their curiosity,
interests, and talents. Students achieve
academic excellence through services
such as workshops, tutors, study
consultants, and advice.
The Office of Engineering Advising in the
Whiting School of Engineering strives to
ensure that engineering students find
the resources and information they need
in order to be successful at Hopkins.
Incoming freshmen are advised during
the summer about their course choices
and other academic matters. The office
also facilitates and supports the faculty
advising system for engineering students
throughout their undergraduate years
Students learn to appreciate and respect individual differences and ethnic
diversity, develop a greater understanding of their own identity, and learn that
they are responsible for their actions.
Encouraging the integration and involvement of faculty and other student
affairs staff further enhances the quality of the residential community. It is the
primary responsibility of the Office of Residential Life to take on the teaching/
counseling/programming role that will help to create an environment in the
residence halls where this kind of learning will occur.
32
33
and monitors the academic progress of all
engineering students. Collaborating with
the KSAS Office of Academic Advising,
the office advises students regarding
academic support services.
Office of Pre-Professional
Programs & Advising
The Office of Pre-Professional Programs
and Advising serves undergraduates,
graduate students, and alumni of the
Krieger School of Arts & Sciences and the
Whiting School of Engineering pursuing
professional education in medicine,
other health professions, and law. PreProfessional Advisors provide academic
advising, professional school application
advising, and guidance for students
seeking volunteer activities, medical
experiences, summer opportunities,
research, and law internships. In providing
comprehensive services for our students,
the Pre-Prof. Office sponsors small group
workshops, topical programs, special
events, and for-credit shadowing, research
and clinical programs throughout the
academic year. Our goal for current
students and alumni is to encourage a
holistic approach to their education, to
be reflective about their learning and
decision-making, and to demonstrate
social responsibility and a commitment to
voluntarism in preparation for a career of
service.
National Fellowships &
Scholarships Program
Johns Hopkins is committed to providing
support for students interested in applying
for nationally competitive fellowships.
The program director oversees nearly
twenty prestigious external awards that
fund undergraduate study (such as the
Goldwater and Udall Scholarships) and
post-baccalaureate study/research (such
as the Fulbright, Rhodes, Marshall, Truman
and Churchill). Students are advised on
how to identify which fellowships fit their
particular interests and abilities, supported
through the application process, and
guided toward composing their strongest,
most compelling applications. During
the first or second year, students should
attend a general information session
in the spring semester:
www.jhu.edu/scholarships.
Office for Academic Support
The Office for Academic Support offers
three programs for undergraduates to
enhance their academic achievement:
the Learning Den tutoring program,
the Study Consulting program, and
the Peer-Led Team Learning (PILOT)
program. The Learning Den provides
small-group peer tutoring in almost
50 courses each semester. The Study
Consulting program offers one-on-one
academic mentoring from upperclassmen
and graduate students. PILOT offers the
opportunity for structured, small-group
learning experiences in rigorous lowerlevel math and science courses, including
Calculus II and III for Physical Science
Majors, General Physics I and II for
Physical Science Majors, and Introductory
Chemistry I and II.

How can students find time to work?
How will your student spend his/her
free time? The following chart shows the
amount of free time the typical student
has each week.
Why should my freshman
student work?
This is a question asked by many
freshmen parents. Studies have
shown working 2 – 5 hrs. per
week can actually help freshmen
acclimate to college life. Campus
employment provides students
with a safe environment where they
feel comfortable, become familiar with
the campus from behind the scenes, and
work directly with faculty and staff who
understand student needs. Campus jobs
can, and often do, act as campus families.
Additionally, students can:
•
Explore career options ‘hands-on’
•
Acquire practical experience
•
Ease financial burdens
What types of student
jobs are available?
The type of job your student gets will
depend on their interest, skill set, and
willingness to explore new fields. Student
jobs are available on all JHU campuses
including the medical campus.

Do students need Work-Study
to get a job?
No. Of all Homewood students who work,
less than ½ have work-study. It’s true
that students with work-study have an
advantage. However, here at Hopkins,
we are fortunate to have more than
enough student jobs to go around. As a
result, there are plenty of campus jobs for
students regardless of financial need.
If you have a question that we didn’t
answer here, please visit our website,
which is an excellent resource for new
students, or feel free to contact us directly.
We welcome the opportunity to talk with
new students and their parents.
U.S Citizens may use their
Social Security Card, Birth
Certificate, valid Passport,
