- Join the school's mentoring initiatives: Start mentoring students by activating your profile on JHU’s OneHop Mentoring platform. After creating your profile, you will join our community of several thousand alumni mentors who are available for JHU students to search by filters like location, industry of expertise, organization, etc. The registration process will allow you to set limits on how frequently you can be contacted and for what purposes. When the school's Global Careers Office launches the next round of the more formal Long-Term Mentoring Program, you and our other alumni on the platform will automatically receive an invite with instructions via the OneHop platform.
- Partner with Global Careers and the Office of Co-Curricular and Experiential Learning (CCEL) to offer internship and practicum opportunities or career treks at your organization, provide workshops to students, and more.
- Initiate an alumni event in your region
