Class of 2028

Welcome to the nest, New Jays! During the next four years, you will have many opportunities to make an impact on campus. This is your first chance to make a lasting impression at Johns Hopkins.

Class banners have been a Hopkins tradition for over 100 years. Design a banner that shows your class pride, and will represent your class throughout your time at Hopkins and beyond! Submit your design to reunion@jhu.edu by Wednesday, June 19^th. The Class of 2023 will narrow down the designs to the top 10, and then, you and your 2028 classmates will vote for your favorite. The winning design will be unveiled and presented to the President during Orientation Week at Convocation and will hang in a designated spot until you graduate.

Banner Guidelines

Must be approximately 4' by 3' ratio.
Must include the 2028 class year.
Must include school athletic colors (black/Blue-Jay Blue) and/or school academic colors (black/gold). Note: black and gold CANNOT be the dominant colors.
School colors can be found at brand.jhu.edu/color/
Format -- .jpg, .png, Vector Art, or InDesign are preferred.
If the banner design has more than 5 colors, the winner will need to reduce number of colors to 5. (This is the request of Student Life and will be used on the t-shirt)
