Introducing Blue Jay Family Connection: A new way to stay involved with your student and JHU
We are thrilled to announce the launch of brand new communications hub for our families: The Blue Jay Family Connection!
At Johns Hopkins, we understand the importance of family engagement in supporting our students’ academic and personal journey. That’s why we’re excited to introduce this new interactive platform, dedicated to staying connected with all things Hopkins.
With the Blue Jay Family Connection you will have the ability to customize your experience. Whether you’re interested in academic resources for your student, campus events, or important deadlines, you can curate your preferences to receive information that matters most to you and your family.
An invitation was sent to families with instructions to join the Blue Jay Family Connection community. Or you can sign up here: The Blue Jay Family Connection
As a Blue Jay Family, you play an essential role in your student’s transition and success at Hopkins. Family Engagement is here to provide resources and support as you and your student navigate the university and encounter new and dynamic experiences that occur while your student is at JHU.
