Student Advisory Groups
Engaging students with diverse perspectives in the work and goals of the Johns Hopkins University is critical to building relationships, advancing mutual understanding, and enhancing our community. The following groups provide a mechanism through which students from Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and Whiting School of Engineering can collaborate directly with university leadership, fostering active and informed participation of students in shaping and developing their student experience.
