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? This session intends to help participants understand and identify connections worth nurturing, and how to sustain the momentum while also disengaging gracefully with those that are one-sided, have run their course or simply feel misaligned with your values. Please note this is a cohort-based series, and limited seats are available. Each session builds on the last, so participants are expected to attend all three sessions to get the full value. If you have a conflict or special circumstance, let us know via email at srai10@jh.edu, and we will do our best to support your participation.  women-of-hopkins-virtual-network

Odyssey Virtual August 30, August 30, SaturdayMichele Zanobini, Arts and Humanities, Odyssey, VirtualCourse Title: Cosa Nostra: A History of the Sicilian MafiaInstructor: Dr. Michele Zanobini, A&S '16 (PhD)Brought to you by Odyssey  August 30, 2025 - September 13, 2025 (3 Sessions) Saturday,  10:00AM ET - 11:30AM ET Virtual via ZoomCourse Description: Of all the international underworld networks, gangs and criminal organisations, the Italian Mafia is certainly amongst the eldest and most renowned. How could a series of bloody Sicilian vendettas fuelled by a primitive notion of honour, proud defiance and a medieval code of chivalry evolve into a sophisticated and hierarchical organisation capable of infiltrating, blackmailing and crippling a modern European state? From its earliest apparition, in the 1860s, to the recent Berlusconi trials and the death of boss Matteo Messina Denaro, this short class seeks to explore the socio-economic, political and cultural milieu that allowed this most infamous phenomenon to come into existence, prosper and quickly spread across the Italian peninsula and beyond. By the end of the course, students will not only be in the position to assess and evaluate this crucial phenomenon comprehensively, they will also be able to speculate on what future scenarios might look like. Interactive lectures followed by seminar discussion. No previous knowledge required.Discover something new this fall! Explore Odyssey’s Fall 2025 catalog here —packed with dynamic courses in creative writing, professional practice, science and technology, health and wellness, and the humanities.
