Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Swim Club Brings Sense of Community to Hopkins
Community plays a big role in Johns Hopkins Medicine. We are always looking for new ways to bring faculty, staff, students, and alumni together, as a way to foster relationships and innovations.
The School of Medicine Swim Club is doing just that.
"Because it's interdivisional, each member gets to meet other students from other divisions, which increases the sense of community at Hopkins and increases the amount of collaboration," said Kelsey Bettridge, swim club president and 5th-year graduate student in the
Program in Molecular Biophysics.
While the swim club continues to unite students across disiplines, Bettridge also sees opportunity for alumni growth. She hopes to host an
Alumni-Student Swim Meet to attract alumni and garner their support.
Fifteen Ph.D. students from the School of Medicine joined six local Ph.D. alumni/faculty for the first Molecules and a Meal networking event on Jan. 26 at Amicci's Restaurant in Baltimore.
Alumni dined with current students, offering career advice and industry insight. If you're interested in participating in a future Molecules and a Meal event, contact [email protected].

New Year, New Promise
Johns Hopkins Medicine: A Year in Review
As the first month of the New Year comes to an end, we can only hope that 2017 will be as grand as 2016 was for Johns Hopkins Medicine. Last year, we welcomed our first female president of The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Redonda Miller, M.D., M.B.A. (Class of 1992), combated cancer through immunotherapy and performed the nation's first HIV-positive organ transplants thanks to Dorry Segev M.D. (Class of 1996), creating more lifesaving opportunities for patients on transplant waiting lists.
