Who can join OneHop?

All Johns Hopkins alumni, both undergraduates and graduates from any of Johns Hopkins' nine schools, are eligible to join OneHop.

 

What happened to GoHopOnline?

We have recently phased out GoHopOnline as our official online directory and networking platform and have replaced it with OneHop.

 

What is OneHop?

OneHop builds on our previous GoHopOnline platform to offer improved alumni-to-alumni networking, a more easily-searchable alumni directory, opportunities to connect with our many alumni communities, and support current students and recent graduates.  

 

How do I use OneHop?

OneHop will be your one stop to connect with fellow Johns Hopkins alumni and to support current undergrad and grad students. You can also explore regional and affinity groups to further your interests.

 

How large is the OneHop Alumni community?

We currently have over 16,000 alumni in our OneHop Alumni community.

 

Is OneHop  for mentoring?

Yes, alumni have the opportunity to connect with students and other alumni in a mentoring capacity. Mentoring is by invitation-only through Johns' Hopkins' nine schools. If you are interested in serving as a mentor, contact Casey Miller, Director of Hopkins Connect at casey.miller@jhu.edu.

 

 

Does OneHop have a jobs board?

Yes! You can access available jobs or post jobs on Handshake, which you can access from the Resources tab.

How do I create a new profile on OneHop?

Current GoHopOnline users will receive an email that invites them to the OneHop platform that fast-tracks their registration process.

For those without a GoHopOnline profile, alumni can visit OneHop and click on "Join Our Community". Then, they can choose to sign in using their LinkedIn profile or a valid email address. Once their accounts are approved, they can start exploring, asking questions, sharing feedback, and more! (Alumni email accounts/JHED will not give alumni access to OneHop)

 

I had a profile on GoHopOnline. Do I need to create a new profile on OneHop?

GoHopOnline users will receive an email with a link to fast-track their registration process and will be automatically approved upon registration.

 

How can I start networking with alumni in OneHop?

There are many ways to network with alumni on OneHop. Once you're logged in, you can start a conversation by posting a question or by sharing feedback on a current topic on the discussion board.

Proactively search for alumni to connect with using the Alumni Directory feature. Search for people by location, major, Johns Hopkins school attended, degree type, grad year, and more.

 

Take the matching quiz and update your profile and OneHop will recommend individuals with whom you should connect based on those preferences. 

 

You can also connect with alumni by joining one or more of our OneHop groups. We've got groups based on location, identity, industry, school, and interests. 

 

What are Groups, and how do I join them?

OneHop Groups are smaller, private communities that allow you to connect with fellow alumni based on location, identity, industry, school, interests, and more.

 

To join a group, interested alumni can simply click on the "Join Group" button. Once your membership is approved by the group administrator, you can stay active in your group by reviewing the group's resources, posting and answering questions on the discussion board, or by searching members within the group and connecting with them individually.
