Info: HBN's mission is to create a stronger biotech community which addresses the diverse interests and career aspirations of its members. We at HBN focus on critical issues in biotechnology and seek to bridge the gap between the three main stakeholders in the biotech field: industry, academia, and government. HBN serves Johns Hopkins University trainees across all campuses and disciplines, who are interested in pursuing careers in the field of biotechnology, provide networking opportunities, skills-based professional development workshops, alumni engagement, and mentoring for aspiring entrepreneurs at many levels of training. HBN connects all JHU campuses and works closely with many University and regional partners to grow our biotechnology ecosystem. Current programs include serving as the student group partner for Nucleate Baltimore, an alumni mentorship program, and management of the Hopkins Biotech Podcast.

Info: Science in Action (SiA!-JHMI) at Johns Hopkins University is a student-led organization with the goal of promoting STEM education for elementary school students in the underserved Baltimore community, while enriching student life of the Hopkins student body. As a group of motivated scientists-in-training, we bring hands-on science lessons and demonstrations to students to help them see just how cool science can be!

Our group is led and powered by graduate student volunteers who want to make a difference in the lives of Baltimore City youth. From planning creative science lessons to applying for grants to further our work, we aim to spark a passion for science in the next generation of scientists.

Info: The First-Generation Low-Income Scholars Alliance (FLISA) is dedicated to supporting first-generation and/or low-income (FLI) graduate students and postdoctoral fellows through advocacy, community, and mentorship. By organizing community-building events, representing FLI scholar interests to the administration and JHU diversity councils, advocating for and collecting resources for FLI scholars, and creating a network of FLI graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty for mentorship and professional development, we seek to empower and celebrate the FLI community. Not sure if you're FLI? Typically, first-gen students come from families in which none of their parents or guardians has a four-year college degree, and low-income students are often former Pell Grant recipients, grew up in a low-income family, or had their academic experience otherwise limited by socioeconomic status. These terms are difficult to define, and FLISA supports all students who identify as first-gen, low-income, or both, so we encourage you to join if any part of this identity resonates with you.
