Peer Mentorship

Your bridge to the Hopkins community.

The people around you are essential to your experience at Hopkins. Our peer mentorship programs will connect you with current students who are excited to share their experiences. They can give valuable advice on everything from studying for exams and managing your time to finding clubs that fit your interests. They’ll also help you transition to your new life at Homewood and in Baltimore.

First-Year Mentors

First-Year Mentors help incoming students get to know Hopkins. During Orientation, you’ll also be assigned a First-Year Mentor group, where you’ll meet new friends, ask questions, and share your experiences.
