Blue Jay Families,

It's finally spring in Baltimore and we are getting ready to head into the last weeks of the semester! We hope that students feel refreshed by Spring Break and are looking forward to one of our favorite annual traditions, Spring Fair. JHU is also preparing to welcome the Class of 2027 to campus for admitted student events this month. We're looking forward to meeting our future Blue Jays and sharing in their excitement for the coming academic year. 

Finally, I'm excited to introduce you to our new Assistant Director for Family Engagement, Maureen Kelly. Starting this month, Maureen will be supporting families across our vibrant Blue Jay community. Welcome, Maureen!

Best,

Emily Calderone
Executive Director

We are excited to welcome Maureen Kelly as the new Assistant Director of Family Engagement. Maureen has been working with the Student Transitions & Family Engagement team for two years now. She has worked in higher education for 12 years, the last five of which have been at JHU. Maureen has an undergraduate degree in finance from Providence College and a masters degree in emerging media from Loyola University Maryland. In her free time, she enjoys trips to the beach, all forms of exercise, and visiting her twins at their respective colleges.

On March 17, Johns Hopkins University offered admission to 1,592 students representing 47 U.S. states, 39 countries, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and Guam in the Regular Decision cohort of the Class of 2027.

These students will join the 811 students admitted during Early Decision I and Early Decision II to make up the university's next incoming undergraduate class.

This month, we had the FLI Compass: Summer FUN-ding webinar. 

Visit the Family Engagement website to see the complete schedule of upcoming webinars, as well as archived recordings of past sessions.

The South Asian Students at Hopkins (SASH), Bangladeshi American Student Association (BASA) and Pakistani Student Association (PSA) co-hosted a mela (Sanskrit for “fair”) to celebrate the cultures of South Asian students on March 11.

At the mela, students could participate in cultural activities at a variety of booths in exchange for stamps on a paper passport, which they could subsequently trade in for a variety of cultural dishes.

Help support on-campus student programming by making a gift today to the Parent’s Fund. For additional information about the Hopkins Parent Fund and/or family philanthropy at Hopkins, please contact Kristina Snyder.
