WomeninBusiness SharedInterestandIdentity August 25, August 25, MondayRegional Women of Hopkins Virtual Networking Hopkins Women WomenSponsored by Women of HopkinsJoin us for a three-session series designed to help you build connections with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Through speaker-guided discussion and intentional practice, alumni and friends will explore how to create meaningful and values-aligned relationships that support their professional journeys over time. Each session blends short talks, interactive activities, and take-home exercises, led by a collaborative team of facilitators bringing varied experiences and perspectives. All alums are welcome!Session 1: Building Connections: Networking with Purpose, Not Pressure | Mon, Aug 25, 2025 | 12:30 PM - 1:45 PM | VirtualHow do you go beyond transactional networking and build relationships - not just collect contacts? This session will provide frameworks to create meaningful, mutual connection from the first meeting and beyond that align with your personal values, networking goals, and boundaries. Session 2: When Your Networking Profile Reads: “It’s Complicated” | Wed, Sep 3, 2025 | 12:30 PM - 1:45 PM ET | VirtualWhat does networking through special circumstances look like? This session offers space to explore insights and experiences around networking post-layoffs or during career pivots and practicing authenticity and advocating for yourself across intersecting identities and invisible barriers. Session 3: Keeping or Letting Go – Managing Momentum in Networking | Wed, Sep 17, 2025 | 12:30 PM - 1:45 PM ET | VirtualEvery relationship requires maintenance or closure as part of the process, but how do you make that decision?

September 05, September 5, FridayThe final chapter of healing is to help others along the journey, and we can think of no better way than to support the on-going efforts of the Johns Hopkins CRC Center of Research Excellence at the Kimmel Cancer Center, where they are focused on developing treatments for longer and better survivorship while also discovering advancements for earlier detection and prevention. Great clinicians, scientists and support teams doing great things!George Davis and his wife, Patricia, along with the Trey Mancini Foundation invite you to a night of celebration - great food, an open bar, and wonderful entertainment - while honoring the Johns Hopkins Colorectal Cancer Center. Our goal is to raise funding for the Center, while also creating more local awareness and to celebrate survivorship.We are excited to inform everyone that we have secured some great music for our event on September 5th at Gertrude’s to honor the CRC Center of Research Excellence!Special acoustic performance by famed luthier, Paul Reed Smith and Kimmel Cancer Center Director, Dr. Bill Nelson with members of their band PRS Eightlock have agreed to play for us.Get to Know Eightlock [https://eightlockband.com/|https://eightlockband.com/]There has been an alarming increase in early-onset colorectal cancer over the past decade. Today, almost a third of rectal cancers are diagnosed in people under the age of 55. Patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer when they are young are often plagued with delays in diagnosis due to their symptoms being overlooked by both patients and their doctors, assuming the causes to be benign. Once diagnosed, these patients have to juggle many competing priorities, often being in the time of life when they are caring for children and elderly parents while also in the prime of their work life as well. Issues of fertility, finances, childcare, and other psychosocial challenges can be very daunting. And considering their young age, long term issues of survivorship and chronic medical challenges also need to be addressed. There is also an ongoing question as to why we are seeing this rise in early-onset disease and if there is a difference in the optimal treatment for these patients.In the face of these realities, we are launching a new parallel clinic at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Center for early onset colorectal cancer. The goal of this clinic will be to ensure that early onset CRC patients will have all the added supports they need in their care during their treatment and after. In addition, we will concurrently probe the important research questions regarding why we are seeing these shifts in cancer incidence in the young, hoping to work towards reversing that trend.If you aren't able to join us on September 5th in person but would like to support the CRC Center of Research Excellence - please click here to make a donation. 2025-09-05 -- 6 -- 00 -- PM -- 2025-09-05 -- 10 -- 00 -- PM -- 10 Art Museum Drive -- -- Baltimore -- MD -- 21217 -- USA -- 0 -- -- 0 -- Ticket Price -- 0 -- 0 Ticket Price 2025-09-05 -- 6 -- 00 -- PM -- 2025-09-05 -- 9 -- 00 -- PM -- Gertrudes -- 10 Art Museum Drive -- Baltimore -- MD -- 21218 -- USA -- 0 -- Sponsorship Packages Prices -  $2500 / $5000 / $10000 -- 0 -- Sponsorship Packages -- 0 -- 0 Sponsorship Packages rhythm-of-life-2025

This panel brings together creators who live at the crossroads of fear and funny to unpack why these genres are natural partners and how to make the blend work. Emmy and NAACP Image Award–winning producer Luke Kelly-Clyne (A&S ’10), Head of Studio at Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat, moderates a craft-forward conversation with filmmaker Josh Ruben (Scare Me, Werewolves Within, Heart Eyes) and veteran screenwriter Mark Swift (A&S ’93; Freddy vs. Jason, Friday the 13th). They’ll explore the shared DNA of horror and comedy—surprise, tension, release—and how tone, timing, and character turn a jolt into a laugh (and back again).Expect candid stories from set and writers’ rooms; practical tips on building set-ups and payoffs; guidance on pitching horror-comedy in today’s market; and reflections on working across platforms—from studio features to streamers and podcasts. We’ll also touch on ratings and audience expectations, collaborating with actors and effects teams, and the business of positioning a project so it’s scary enough for genre fans and inviting enough for comedy lovers.

Odyssey October 20, October 20, MondayMoser Creative Writing, Moser, Odyssey, Carlee Jensen, Not Even Past: Fictions of Time and Memory, Creative Writing Course Title: Not Even Past: Fictions of Time and MemoryInstructor: Carlee Jensen, A&S '24 (MFA)Brought to you by Odyssey  October 20, 2025 - November 17, 2025 (5 Sessions)Mondays, 8:00PM - 10:00PM ETVirtual via Zoom  Course Description: The past is never dead,” wrote William Faulkner. “It’s not even past.” So often—in fiction as in life—the most important things have already happened: the devastating betrayal, the epic heartbreak, the small-but-accumulated fractures from which characters struggle to recover. Like the surface of the earth itself, human beings gain our texture from the wind and weather through which we’ve lived. In recent years, scientists have begun to acknowledge what artists have always understood: that memory lives in the body as well as the mind, in the inarticulate stirrings of our hearts and the epigenetic manifestations of our ancestors’ trauma. In a work of fiction, it may become the central plot—a problem that demands confrontation, the only thing anyone can talk or think about — or it may lurk at the margins of a vivid, demanding present, barely acknowledged but inexorably there. The past may become an object of longing or fantasy, more dreamed about than understood, or it may announce itself with painful specificity. These are the choices the writer must make, and each one shapes the experience and meaning of the story. This course will explore the multifaceted role of memory in fiction, considering the aesthetic and thematic impact of those specific narrative strategies by which authors unspool and explore their characters’ pasts. Through this lens, we will also discuss narrative shape, characterization, and sources of tension outside plot itself. Readings will engage with individual, familial, cultural, and environmental memory, and may include works by Leslie Marmon Silko, Carmen Maria Machado, Justin Torres, Claire Vaye Watkins, and Edward P. Jones, among others. Students will also explore memory through in-class writing exercises, shared voluntarily for peer and instructor feedback. While this course focuses on fiction, many of the concepts and techniques will be relevant to those interested in memoir and personal essay. Students are welcome to work on life-writing projects during class, and supplemental nonfiction readings will be available for those who are interested. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Johns Hopkins alumni, staff, faculty and their spouse or domestic partners are eligible for tuition remission for Odyssey lifelong learning courses.

Odyssey October 21, October 21, TuesdayPersonal and Professional Development, Odyssey, VirtualCourse Title: Do More, Do Better: Effective Leadership for Research TeamsInstructor: Natalie Schock, ED '21 (PhD)   Brought to you by Odyssey  October 21 - November 11 (4 Sessions)Tuesdays  7:00PM ET - 8:30PM ET Virtual via Zoom  Course Description:  This course helps leaders of research and technical teams lead and manage better. Over four 90-minute sessions, participants will: 1.        Explore the big ideas in leadership for research/technical teams and how these ideas translate to practical, daily action.2.        Investigate setting and holding high expectations, including why, how, and getting back on track.3.        Probe what good communication looks like and how to improve your written and spoken communication with team members.4.        Learn and apply tips on setting up processes, procedures, and workflows so your team members know what to do, understand how to do it, and can solve problems on their own.In an era of unprecedented constraints, research leaders must do ever more with ever less. This is true regardless of setting: across universities, research firms, government data units, R&D functions, and evaluation teams, researchers must execute huge amounts of highly technical work, often with little time or staff capacity. The bad news is that accountability expectations and funding constraints are not easing. The good news is threefold. First, leadership is a set of behaviors, which means anyone can learn and practice them. Second, positive leadership practices can grow the capacity of teams to meet demands. Third, high-capacity teams sustain themselves, retaining and attracting high performers that do more and do better. This course takes a practical approach to leadership development, focusing on application and concrete takeaways._____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Johns Hopkins alumni, staff, faculty and their spouse or domestic partners are eligible for tuition remission for Odyssey lifelong learning courses.

Odyssey October 22, October 22, WednesdayThe Art and Science of Urban Stream Ecosystem Restoration, Kenneth Belt, Water, Streams, Environment, Ken, Ecosystems Course Title: The Art and Science of Urban Stream Ecosystem RestorationInstructor: Kenneth Belt, Engr '91 (MEE), Engr '94 (PhD)Brought to you by Odyssey  October 22, 2025 -November 26, 2025 (6 Sessions) Wednesday,  6:00PM ET - 7:30PM ET Virtual via Zoom Course Description: This course examines urban stream restoration using a broad view that spans historical, eco-engineering and cultural. Some technical aspects will be briefly covered, but the focus will be on bringing diverse life back, as well as the nature-based benefits to people. We’ll talk about the state of the engineering-based watershed & stream restoration and more socio-ecologically based methods and goals. We will see that the implications of such a transformation are potentially great. It is plausible that urban streams can achieve a more natural state, with a family of novel but functioning, valued ecosystems.We’ll spend significant time on the needs and roles of organisms and their communities (microbes, insects, fish, plants/algae, etc.) in establishing biodiverse and functional ecosystems. We’ll see that biota need cleaner, less flashy streams and that they also contribute to cleaner, more functional streams.These concepts will be placed within a contemporary urban context by imagining a more enlightened approach to engineering-based stream restoration. Novel, creative approaches to an ecologically based engineering are feasible. New thinking and collaboration along these lines could bring about transformative benefits for both urban waters and residents.Coverage will be global at times, but we’ll often focus on local (Baltimore) stream systems to illustrate concepts. Art, essays, photography and videos will be used to provide a foundation for this. Presentations will be designed for the broad community but will be based on science. Readings from the literature will be provided, should folks want to go further in their learning. Optional field visits may be available, if there is interest by local folks. These materials, as well as, recorded lectures and slides, will be made available on the web._____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies  Johns Hopkins alumni, fulltime staff, faculty and their spouse or domestic partners are eligible for tuition remission for Odyssey lifelong learning courses.

Odyssey Virtual October 22, October 22, WednesdayArts and Humanities, Jerry Webster, Odyssey, VirtualCourse Title: Buddhist Memoirs Involving Deep Healing: Peter Matthiessen and Ellen Korman Mains Instructor: Jerry WebsterBrought to you by Odyssey  October 22, 2025 - November 19, 2025 (5 Sessions) Wednesday,  6:30PM ET - 8:30PM ET Virtual via Zoom Course Description: Great art and fruitful meditation require techniques that dive into vast dimensions of human existence. Join instructor Jerry Webster to study two Buddhist memoirs of the journeys that ultimately lead to deep healing for their authors and others. In The Snow Leopard, winner of the 1979 National Book Award, Peter Matthiessen journeys to the remote mountains of Nepal with field biologist George Schaller. Their outward goals are to study the Himalayan blue sheep and glimpse rarely seen snow leopards. Mathiessen’s inner quest is to meet and communicate with a particular Tibetan lama. Besides battling the harsh conditions on the trek, Matthiessen struggles inwardly with the recent death of his wife, thus melding each day for him into a mix of intense outward and inward emotional experiences. In order to make these extremes workable, he must bring in his Buddhist spiritual teachings and practices into the heart of his everyday life. Ellen Korman Mains has a different spiritual aim as she describes in her book Buried Rivers: A Spiritual Journey Into the Holocaust. Her parents, deeply traumatized by the Holocaust, never shared their personal experiences of that tragedy with her. Through Mains ’determination to dig up her parents ’past, along with encouragement from her Tibetan Buddhist teacher, she begins to explore these hidden stories as she journeys back and forth between Poland and the U.S. Hers is the story of her own poignant, personal path of healing that she mixes with her work with intergenerational communal trauma and healing. As with Matthiessen, Mains mixes Buddhist teachings and practices with her internal and external journey. Meditation Instruction and close readings of Matthiessen’s and Mains ’texts will be integral parts of this class. There will be experiential exercises using awareness practices from both texts.This online class will be streamed live and recorded for later viewing.*Top Rated Instructor*_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies Johns Hopkins alumni, staff, faculty and their spouse or domestic partners are eligible for tuition remission for Odyssey lifelong learning courses.
