Why are we updating the constitution? With the presence of the Union, the GSA’s roles and priorities moving forward will change, we wanted a document that could outline our changing role dynamics to the graduate student community. In addition our previous constitution was too broad and we have in the past come across a lot rules (or lack thereof) which limit our ability to advocate for students as well as our ability to finance and recognize student groups. Lastly, Dr. Espenshade’s (Dean of Biomedical Education) office has been tasked with creating a written and formal process for how student groups are recognized as part of the SOM accreditation review which are now outlined in this document!

Nicole is a passionate graduate student conducting excellent research while simultaneously being proactive about giving back to the community. She is instrumental in the lab and has mentored several graduate rotation students. As a part of the BC DEI Committee, she works towards making the department a more equitable and inclusive environment for work and to do science. She has made a positive impact by coordinating with and volunteering at Henderson-Hopkins for their Food Distribution and Holiday Gift programs. An organizer within the JHU Grad Workers Union TRU-EU, Nicole advocated for the union by answering questions to help students make an informed decision.
As a second-year student, Scarlett is a co-author of two published papers and three more papers that are currently under review in Nature and Science Translational Medicine.

The Graduate Coating Ceremony honors Ph.D. candidates who have passed their qualifying exams, transitioning from a Ph.D. student to a Ph.D. candidate. Each coat is embroidered with the student’s name and with a graduate student pin affixed, which represents the unity of each of the 16 Johns Hopkins University doctoral programs.
