Hopkins Online Book Club

Welcome to the new Hopkins Online Book Club.

This new program connects alumni through participation in a virtual book group and online discussion on JHU inCircle. Our first semester includes three books—one in February, one in April, and one in June.

Hosted by a different faculty each month, the Book Club begins with a taped conversation available online (as well as a transcribed version) with that month's faculty presenter. The conversation continues with the online discussion for the duration of that month.

Our newest book selection will be coming soon. 
Please check back.
