At Johns Hopkins, we understand the importance of family engagement in supporting our students’ academic and personal journey. That’s why we use an interactive platform dedicated to staying connected with all things Hopkins.
The Blue Jay Family Connection portal gives you the ability to customize your experience. Whether you’re interested in academic resources for your student, campus events, or important deadlines, you can curate your preferences to receive information that matters most to you and your family.
The Office of Family Engagement exclusively uses the Blue Jay Connection portal to share newsletters, information, and resources with our students’ families. Sign up to receive updates, or add additional users anytime.
