Spring NY Connect: Dinner and Conversation with Women of Hopkins

Women of Hopkins NY Networking Dinner Header Image

Sponsored by Women of Hopkins NY

Join us for an interactive evening of connection, conversation, and great food with local alums and friends at Cha Cha Tang. This meetup hopes to create a welcoming space where you can share openly, learn from, and support one another. At the heart of the gathering, we will have a seasoned professional to guide the conversations to build meaningful connections.

As a catalyst for discussion, we invite each participant to come with two key things: One resource or experience you’d like to share - this could be a recent success or a problem-solving strategy, and one thing you’re looking for - career resources, recommendations for trusted local services, or suggestions for navigating a work-life challenge. All alums and friends are welcome! 

Please note that this is a small intimate gathering, and we will have a couple of tables reserved for the group; seats are limited to one guest per alum. 

Dinner will be served family-style. If you have any questions, please reach out to srai10@jhu.edu

A portion of this registration fee will serve as a donation in support of future programming and events.  If you wish to not have a portion of your registration support such initiatives, you may contact the Office of Annual Giving: oag@jhu.edu     

While participating in off-campus events and meetings sponsored by the JHAA/JHM/JHHS participants must follow all public health guidelines mandated by the local jurisdiction and venue at the time of the event. Johns Hopkins strongly suggests that attendees who join in person receive at least one dose of an FDA- or WHO-authorized COVID-19 vaccine before attending. This is subject to change.
