The Johns Hopkins #100 Alumni Voices Project

The Johns Hopkins University #100AlumniVoices Project highlights the personal and professional journeys of a diverse group of doctoral alumni from the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Advanced International Studies, the School of Education, the Whiting School of Engineering, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, and the Peabody Institute. Their stories are grounded in the idea that who we are as people and who we are as professionals are not mutually exclusive, but rather intersectional aspects of our identities that should be celebrated. With the goal of fostering human connection and inspiration, these alumni share their unique stories through text, images, and recorded podcast conversations.

To connect with these individuals and to learn more about their inspiring stories, visit the #100AlumniVoices Project website: https://imagine.jhu.edu/phutures-alumni-stories/100_alumni_voices/.
