Center for Student Success

The Center for Student Success is a hub of support for FLI students—those students who are first in their families to attend college and/or from limited-income backgrounds. Between 25–30% of incoming students each year are FLI— they are a force on campus!

The CSS builds community for all FLI students and provides multiple, integrated layers of support. There are several programs that make up the CSS, with some programs open to all students and others recruiting students directly. Be sure to look out for one of their signature events— FLI Day—in early November.

Baltimore Scholars Program

Baltimore Scholars are the talented “home” team. This is a cohortbased program of students who attended and graduated from Baltimore City high schools.

Hop-In

The Hop-In Program is a cohort-based program that kicks off with a summer experience before the start of the first year at Hopkins and has strong peer mentoring networks. Hop-In also runs sections of “Arrive and Thrive” in the fall semester just for Hop-In students.

Johns Hopkins Underrepresented in Medical Professions

JUMP is a 4-year+ learning community. JUMP supports all pre-health students who are underrepresented in the medical professions—that is, students who identify as FLI, Black or African Angle-right

American, Latinx, or Native American. Working closely with the Office of Pre-Professional Advising, JUMP is organized around the milestones along the full pre-med pathway, anchored in a holistic advising model that actively builds students’ skills for the career path they choose, and animated by rich peer mentoring relationships.

Kessler Scholars Program

The Kessler Scholars Program is a cohort-based program for FLI students who are pursuing study in the humanities and social sciences.

National Fellowships Program

This is where all students head for information and advising for nationally competitive fellowships, mostly for post-graduation opportunities (Fulbright, Gates Cambridge, Marshall, Emerson, etc.).

Success Coaching Program in Academic Advising

SCAA is a program within the Academic Advising offices in KSAS and WSE. FLI students in SCAA can meet with their academic advisors more frequently and can count on strong support for all four years, even as they acquire faculty advisors.

The FLI Network

This is the core of the CSS, the place for information, programming, and events. It’s open to all students, FLI or not—just sign up for the FLI Network listserv and tune in to what they are doing. It’s also the place for FLI allies, staff, and faculty. The network is how we build community across campus and let FLI students know that they belong here.
