Johns Hopkins University offers students, faculty, and staff the option of using a chosen first name within select university systems. A preferred or chosen name is the use of a first name that is different from a person’s legal name. There are many reasons why someone would use a preferred name, such as a reflection of gender identity, as a nickname, or as a westernized or Americanized name.

Johns Hopkins University offers students, faculty, and staff the option of using a set of pronouns within select university systems. Pronouns are how we refer to each other in the third person and serve as a reflection of gender identity and expression. Similar to using a chosen name, respecting the pronouns of a student, faculty or staff member supports a positive and inclusive campus culture.

Academic advisors help students to understand choices, connect to resources, and make important decisions. Each student is assigned a specific academic advisor who will guide their experience at Carey. Advisors discuss personal, professional, and academic goals, and declare academic focus areas (concentrations/specializations/pathways). They can also provide guidance on program structure/curriculum and registration and review academic progress and standing. Additionally, they help students in understanding policies and procedures and to engage in academic and and extracurricular events to build and foster community.
The principal objective of the Office of Medical Student Affairs is to serve the needs of the students in the many aspects of life in the School of Medicine. A student who has a question about the experience here and who is uncertain as to an appropriate resource for an answer should check with this office. Anyone needing assistance in adapting to this environment, or advice about personal or professional matters, should visit the Associate or Assistant Deans for Medical Student Affairs. The range of issues that may be addressed is broad and additional resources will be found when needed.
WSE Undergraduate Academic Affairs collaborates with faculty, staff, and administration to steward equitable policies and identify learning experiences that cultivate engineering undergraduate students’ holistic development and well-being.

Professional academic advisors use evidence-based and pedagogically sound approaches to help students navigate their academic choices, explore meaningful learning opportunities, and engage in JHU’s diverse campus community.
The mission of University Experiential Learning is to enrich and enhance the overall learning experience of our students by providing part-time paid internships and part-time work experiences that foster leadership development, provide transferable life skills, enable career development, and allow for the integration of classroom learning with the work experience.

The Graduate Student Association (GSA) of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine acts as a liaison between the graduate student body and all other elements of The Johns Hopkins University. Accordingly, the GSA represents the opinions and ideals of the graduate student body to the faculty and administration, and it reciprocally communicates the ideals and standards of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine to the graduate student body.

An artist-centered approach consists of a series of presentations and interactive workshops required for all incoming undergraduate performance majors designed to enhance mental and physical health, maximize effectiveness in practice and daily living to achieve peak performance, and recognize and manage injuries if they occur.
In collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Ear, Nose & Throat and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation departments, all incoming undergraduate and graduate dancers, instrumentalists, and singers are provided with baseline occupational health screenings at no cost. Participants receive a set of recommendations and educational materials on playing- or singing-related health and referrals for consultation, as needed. All screening results are confidential and are shared with the participant only. Screenings are intended to identify potential issues early in the course of academic study to provide a pathway to further assessment and care when indicated.
