We can’t stress this enough: Homewood is your home.

You might have come to Johns Hopkins University for the academics, but it’s everything surrounding that – the leadership experiences you’ll build in clubs and sports, the life skills you gain from living with others from across the world in residence halls, and the creative outlets that you’ll pursue – that will really shape your experience here.

The Office of the Dean of Student Life aims to cultivate an inclusive and healthy community that fosters growth, exploration, and engagement. We oversee student involvement, campus programming, diversity initiatives, and housing and dining services. In fact, if it’s not happening in a classroom, there’s a good chance we might be involved:

• We also help enforce campus judicial policies, including ones covering sexual violence, academic misconduct, and others.
• Our Counseling Center and Student Health and Wellness Center tend to your mind and body.
• We provide opportunities for leadership development, resources for our Multicultural and LGBTQ communities and supporters, and organize Orientation, among many other things.
• Our case managers provide support and assistance, including interventions, advocacy, referrals and follow-up services for students who are experiencing significant difficulties.
