FLI Family Welcome Reception
For our FLI students and families, starting their undergraduate journey at Hopkins is a significant accomplishment—not only as individuals but for their families and communities. Each fall, all incoming FLI families are invited to join us and celebrate this remarkable milestone while building community and learning about resources and programs specific for FLI students and families from their first experiences with our campus.
FLI Family Mix and Mingle (Family Weekend)
FLI Family Mix and Mingle occurs during the Saturday of JHU’s Family weekend. This event serves as an opportunity for FLI families to engage with FLI practitioners and FLI stakeholders, learn about programs and support based in the Center for Student Success, and build community and connect with other families and students.
FLI Compass Webinar Series
This series provides actionable information—a compass—for families to navigate what’s ahead for their student in their first year at Hopkins in the form of a webinar. This is also a great opportunity for FLI families to meet other FLI families and build community. Topics include finances, research opportunities, supporting students from afar, campus resources, and more.
See Me FLI Grant
A travel grant opportunity to provide access to FLI families to engage in their student’s Hopkins journey in the ways that are most meaningful to them. Students are invited to apply for funding up to $1,500 through this travel grant to bring their family members to campus for a campus event of their choice. Funding is not guaranteed, and specific amounts are determined based on individual need. The “See Me FLI” Travel Grant is made possible by the generosity and support of David Einolf ’81 and Lu Menghini.
Thanks to the FLI grant, my family flew in to see me present research at DREAMS. They were so proud of me and were delighted to see how I had grown throughout my first year at Hopkins. They kept commenting on how I had changed so much and how I seemed more grown-up now. My parents were very impressed by the Hopkins staff and how supportive everyone is here. “I really do see you succeeding here,” my dad said. “All they do here is support kids.” As I introduced my parents to various staff members like FLI Director Bryan Capers and JUMP Director Deidre Campbell, they became more comfortable as they got to know the people who constantly work with me.
