FLI Network Student Advisory Board (SAB)

We are no longer accepting applications for the FLI SAB. We will accept application in Spring 2025 for the next academic year.

Description

The FLI Network aims to improve and enhance the students’ experience for those who identify as first-generation, and/or limited-income (FLI) at Hopkins by cultivating a sense of belonging, inclusion, encouragement, and flourishing among FLI students, faculty, staff, alumni, and allies.

The Student Advisory Board functions as the advocate and listener for the FLI student community, aiming to enhance the Hopkins community. SAB consists of students from the Krieger and Whiting undergraduate schools who act as ambassadors for their schools and bridge the gap between the FLI Network professional staff and the FLI student community.

This is a paid opportunity for students able to commit up to 10 hours per month for one year. Selected candidates will receive a stipend of $1500, which will be paid in 4 installments.
