Student Transitions and Family Engagement
Welcome New Blue Jays!
Welcome to the Class of 2028 and incoming Transfer Students. We are super eager to welcome you to the Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus in August 2024! There is so much for you to look forward to including moving to campus. Check out highlights below from our 2023 move-in day.
Student Transitions and Family Engagement, comprised of New Student Orientation, First-Year Experience, Second-Year Experience, and Family Engagement, exists to facilitate a smooth and successful transitional experience for all students and their families to the Homewood campus! This includes First-Year Students, Transfer Students, and family members. Through meaningful newsletters, webinars, programs, and initiatives, we are here to help you navigate Homewood and its plethora of resources. We are proud to be a point of contact as you prepare for arrival to campus and begin your college journey. Always remember, you belong here!
Forever a Blue Jay….Gooooo Hop!
