However, this position focuses on graduate students in Advanced Academic Programs, including our residential and virtual master's students pursuing Master's Degrees and graduate-level certificates.

These offerings will meet the unique needs of students and alumni concerning their identity, values, academic pursuits, and professional interests.

The Assistant Director implements programs and creates content that connects graduate students to critical mindsets, frameworks, and approaches, using the novel approach to career readiness and life design that has been established at Johns Hopkins University.
