Nurturing Wellness in the Behavioral Biology Community

As a mental health advocate, self-care is very important to me. One of my favorite things about my major, Behavioral Biology, is that we place such a strong focus on caring for ourselves and each other. This semester alone, my department has hosted numerous non-academic events including a beginning-of-the-year BBQ, Halloween party, and dedicated self-care night.   To coordinate these events, our teaching professors work with a steering committee made up of involved students who apply to be […]

But this semester, I decided to take Detective Fiction with Professor Jesse Rosenthal, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made at Hopkins. Not just because I […]

Older, Maybe Wiser (Still Not Great With Directions): My Shift from Mentee to Mentor 

From the moment I arrived on campus, I received a lot of help adjusting. Orientation leaders, academic advisors, First-Year Mentors, and RAs were all there to guide me.

Celebrating Holidays Away From Home

When I first came to Hopkins, I wasn’t sure what celebrating holidays on campus would look like. I’m the kind of person who goes home for the major ones: Thanksgiving and Christmas. But there are plenty of holidays that happen while I’m still on campus, and I’ve learned that Hopkins knows how to make them feel special, whether you’re celebrating with roommates, student organizations, or the entire university […]
