Student Health and Well-BeingAs the semester progresses, it’s important that Blue Jay Families remind their Jay of the importance of self-care. In an article published earlier this semester in the Hub, author and Hopkins student, Cecilia Vorfeld, shares her experiences as a first-year student and how she did not properly manage her own self-care. The accompanying side-effects led Cecilia to find alternative solutions for herself and now offers recommendations for other students.

National First-Generation College Student Celebration Johns Hopkins will highlight the success of first-generation (first-gen) students and bring attention to campus partners and resources during our National First-Generation College Student celebration on Friday, Nov. 8, 11:30 a.m.–1 p.m. at Keyser Quad. Students, faculty, and staff can socialize, listen to music, enjoy I'M First or FLI Proud (first-generation, limited income) refreshments and giveaways, or participate in other activities that promote awareness of first-generation students. First-generation students, as well as faculty and staff who were first-gen students, have been invited to wear I'M First, FLI Proud or FLI Friend buttons or tee-shirts. Although the day is named for first-generation students, our celebration will recognize limited-income students who also make up the First-Generation, Limited-Income (FLI) community.
The celebration will continue with the Networking Mixer on Nov. 14, 5–7:30 p.m. at Shriver Hall, Clipper Room. This collaborative event is for first-generation and other FLI students to network and share narratives of intersecting identities with students and professional staff from similar backgrounds. Professional photographer, Eric Jordan, will take free professional headshots. To request this service, please R.S.V.P at OMA@JHU.EDU. Refreshments will be served.
