Hey [FIRST_NAME]!

We are already halfway through February (well, almost, or maybe so if you checked your mail late!) This week, pack your bags because we are going to New York Cityyy 🗽 or if you are in town, don't worry! We have Compose on the Clock, exciting research grant opportunities, and more to keep you going 🤗

P.S. Happy Valentine's Day! Indulge in some self-love and get chocolate-covered strawberries (thank you Chef Joe!) 💖

Events

J-Card mobile

J-Card mobile credentialing has now been extended to members of the Peabody community. This provides students, faculty, and staff access to resources at Homewood and Washington, DC locations, such as the Imagine Center, Brody Learning Commons, Milton S. Eisenhower Library, and the Hopkins Bloomberg Center at 555 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW with smartphones/watches. 

Please note that the mobile J-Card is not a replacement for your physical J-Card; this is an optional companion tool. More information about mobile credentials, including step-by-step instructions for setting up both Apple and Android devices, can be found on the J-Card website.

Share Your Experience: Experiential Learning Survey

Reminder: We are still seeking participants for a research study on experiential learning participation! Feedback is welcome from ALL students - you don't need to be involved with any programs to participate.

Participate by taking an anonymous survey to share your perspective on experiential learning programs at Peabody! It should take no more than 10-15 minutes. Your input will inform potential future updates and improvements to Peabody programs.

Christina Manceor is conducting this study as part of her work with Peabody LAUNCHPad, and some aspects will contribute to my doctoral research. This research is approved by the JHU HIRB (protocol no. HIRB00018147). All participants must be current Peabody students who are over 18 years of age. Please reach out to cmanceor@jhu.edu with any questions.
