| Greetings From the Scholars & Fellows Programs
| |
We hope you've had a good spring and are heading into a great summer! To all who graduated from undergraduate or graduate programs, our heartiest congratulations!! It's been a joy to see JHU's graduation ceremonies return to in-person celebrations.
This spring, the NFP once again operated in a hybrid mode, with information sessions, advising, and interview prep conducted virtually, but we anticipate a more-or-less complete return to campus in the fall.
The past few years have been full of change for our office, a trend that continued this spring. Stephon Hamell, the inaugural director of the Scholars & Fellows Programs portfolio in which NFP sits, departed at the end of April. He has returned to Georgetown as an advising dean for the College of Arts & Sciences. We were sad to have to say goodbye to Dr. Hamell, who made invaluable contributions in launching the new Kessler Scholars Program, resituating the revamped Baltimore Scholars Program, and guiding NFP into a new era. We thank him sincerely and wish him all the best in this exciting new role. A search for a new Director of Scholars and Fellows is underway. We hope to share news of new leadership soon.
Do you have news to share? Please let us know by emailing us or connecting with us on social media. We're building out our presence on Twitter, Instagram, and, most recently, LinkedIn. We particularly encourage you to join our LinkedIn group - more below!
All best wishes,
Dr. Kathleen M. Barry
Associate Director for Fellowships, Scholars & Fellows Programs

NFP Alumni Directory - A New Approach
As we shared in our last newsletter, we took the alumni directory we built on our website offline after we discovered unwanted sharing of information via Google. We are grateful to all of you who provided us with directory information previously.
Moving forward, we have decided to create the following groups to foster alumni connections:
- A LinkedIn group. Since so many of you have LinkedIn profiles already, this struck us as the easiest point of connection for networking.
- A JHU OneHop Mentoring group. This is purpose-built for JHU alumni, staff, and current students to connect and engage around mentorship. It's linked to JHU OneHop Alumni, which is the primary OneHop hub. OneHop Alumni provides a community for alumni to network with one another, whereas OneHop Mentoring facilitates purposeful connections between current students and alumni mentors. Once you've created an account on OneHop Alumni, you will have access to OneHop Mentoring as well. Our office is not eligible to have a group on OneHop Alumni, but we have a group set up and ready to go on OneHop Mentoring.
If you are on LinkedIn and/or OneHop Alumni, or both, please join us! We are always grateful for how generous our alums are in sharing insights and experiences, and we want to help make networking and mentorship easy.
