Getting Started

Regional Communities are your gateway to connecting with your local Hopkins community. With 50 U.S. and international groups, you can build new friendships, enjoy social gatherings, explore professional opportunities, and give back through volunteer events—all close to home.

If you're a Homewood undergraduate alum who graduated fewer than 10 years ago, consider joining a Young Alumni Community. Based in seven cities across the United States, Young Alumni Communities create community through customized programming, volunteer opportunities, and social events. 

Shared Interest Communities offer a meaningful way to connect with fellow alumni around shared identities and passions—regardless of class year, school, or location. From groups like Women of Hopkins to 8:32 Society, there’s a vibrant community waiting for you. All members of the Johns Hopkins community are welcomed to participate.

Alumni can make a big difference in the careers of fellow alumni, students, and recent grads by offering mentoring, advice, and job leads. Be sure to join OneHop, Johns Hopkins' online mentoring and networking platform and to update your profile often so people know they can reach you for help.

Virtual an in-person courses, lectures, resources, and travel opportunities keep you informed, enriched, and learning for a lifetime. 

Join us for Alumni Weekends, including Spring's All-Alumni Weekend, and Fall's Black Alumni Weekend and Young Alumni Weekend.

Follow the Alumni Association on Facebook, X, Instagram, Threads, and LinkedIn, and keep up to date on the latest Hopkins and alumni news.

Events can’t happen without a dedicated planning committee. Are you fun-loving and social? Industry, interest, regional, or international alumni leadership might be for you.

Are you an Alumni Weekend regular attendee? Consider joining your class committee, and reconnect with old classmates, make new friends, and plan your milestone reunion year celebration.

Become a social media brand ambassador by joining Hopkins Promoters, and help spread the word about the latest news and events going on at Hopkins to your friends and followers - and win great prizes at the same time!

Recognize rising talent in your community – submit a Book Award on behalf of the Alumni Association.

Honor an outstanding alum, professor, or community member by nominating them for an Alumni Association Award.

Pay it forward by offering internships or career opportunities to Hopkins students or recent grads.
