A Message from the Chairs

We are very excited to lead the family volunteer and giving efforts for Johns Hopkins University. Whether you are new Class of 2023 parents or like us—seasoned Blue Jay parents with our son beginning his 5th year as a WSE graduate student, we want you to know that parents are highly valued and important members of the Hopkins family!

The Parents Programs and Giving office and the Hopkins Parents Council are here to assist and partner with you on your family’s extraordinary journey. We encourage you to fully integrate into the university community and get involved to create and enrich your own parallel Hopkins experience. We suggest:

• Volunteering on campus and/or at home
• Supporting your student’s experience
• Reading the Blue Jay Family Flyer and other JHU publications
• Attending regional and on-campus JHU events and programs

As fellow parents, we share a common interest in wanting the best and most rewarding Hopkins experience for all Blue Jays. Your impactful support and participation will ensure that happens. We look forward to meeting you and partnering to make this academic year the very best it can be.

– Bob and Jane
