Women in Science and Engineering (WISE)

As you are aware, the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has called upon Johns Hopkins to take a series of unprecedented steps to safeguard our community, including suspending classes through the spring 2020 semester, and all in-person events until further notice.
Given the many uncertainties that we and our partner schools and organizations face right now, our search for additional summer WISE 2020 participants has been suspended.
We appreciate your interest in our program, apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and hope you will consider applying for a future semester or summer.

SABES STEM Showcase Cancelled
|
The rapidly evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has called upon Johns Hopkins to take a series of unprecedented steps to safeguard our community. The University has suspended all in-person classes through the Spring 2020 semester. With that, all in-person, university events are suspended pending further notice, including tours, admissions events, and alumni events.
Unfortunately, this means the Center for Educational Outreach must cancel the SABES STEM Showcase originally scheduled for Thursday, May 7, 2020.
Wishing health and safety to your family, friends, loved ones and neighbors.
