Blue Key Society (BKS) is a paid opportunity through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Our members serve as the face of the university by interacting with prospective and admitted undergraduate students. 

Blue Key Society members get involved by:

  • Giving tours to visiting students and their guests  
  • Planning and executing on-campus events for prospective students  
  • Assisting guests and visitors at the Mason Hall front desk and phone suite 
  • Sharing their student experience through panels and speaking opportunities

    • Meet Our Student Coordinators

    Student Coordinators, or StuCos, are student leaders within Blue Key Society and the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. They act as an advisory board to guide peers, shepherd Boards, and work directly with Admissions staff to execute goals, drive change, and make a positive impact in the Hopkins community.
