Getting Started

Regional Communities are your starting point for finding the Hopkins community where you live. With 50 U.S. and international groups, you can connect with friends old and new, give back to your local community, and explore professional opportunities – all in your area.

If you're a Homewood undergraduate alum who graduated fewer than than 10 years ago, consider joining a Young Alumni Community. Based in seven cities across the United States, Young Alumni Communities create community through customized programming, volunteer opportunities, and social events. 

Engage with other alumni through shared identities and interests, cutting across class years, schools, and location. From longstanding groups like Women of Hopkins (WOH) to emerging groups like Hopkins Organization of Latino/a/x Alumni (HOLA), you’ll find communities that cover the breadth of Hopkins alumni interests and identities.

Alumni can make a big difference for fellow alumni, students, and recent grads by offering mentoring, advice, and career leads. Be sure to join OneHop, Johns Hopkins' online mentoring and networking platform. Be sure to update your profile often so people know they can reach you for help.

Virtual an in-person courses, lectures, resources, and travel opportunities keep you informed, enriched, and learning for a lifetime. 

Join us for Alumni Weekends, including Spring's All-Alumni Weekend, and Fall's Black Alumni Weekend and Young Alumni Weekend. 

Follow the Alumni Association on Facebook, X, Instagram, and LinkedIn, and and keep up to date on the latest Hopkins and alumni news.

Events can’t happen without a dedicated planning committee. Are you fun-loving and social? Industry, identity and shared interest, regional or international alumni leadership might be for you.

Are you an Alumni Weekend regular attendee? Consider joining your class committee, and reconnect with old classmates, make new friends, and plan your milestone reunion year celebration.

Become a social media ambassador by joining Hopkins Promoters, and help spread the word about the latest news and events going on at Hopkins to your friends and followers - and win great prizes at the same time!

Recognize rising talent in your community – submit a Book Award on behalf of the Alumni Association.

Honor an outstanding alum, professor, or community member by nominating them for an Alumni Association Award.

Pay it forward by offering internships or career opportunities to Hopkins students or recent grads.  

Your time at Johns Hopkins has helped to shape who you are today. Your insights have the power to inspire other Blue Jays and strengthen the Hopkins community. Share your Hopkins Possible story with us.

Alumni Association resources and programming are funded each year from generous donations to the Association. Gifts of any size support the services that alumni, students, and recent grads enjoy and depend upon.
