A Path to Leadership<\/h3>\n

Zach Gold,<\/strong> who is studying biomedical engineering, took a gap year between his final year of high school and his first year of college in order to focus on religious growth. That time allowed him to travel to Israel as well as research Jewish student groups at Hopkins. Identifying Hillel ahead of time allowed him to actualize on potential connection, he says. \u201cI came from an Orthodox Jewish household, school, family, and community. Before I came to Hopkins, I was worried about having to toe the line of maintaining my identity in an environment where everyone else was not Orthodox. Finding the Johns Hopkins Hillel<\/a> group helped me solidify a path for how I identified as a Jew, and even became a path to leadership. I am now the prospective student liaison, the Jewish Learning Chair on the Hillel Student Board, and help facilitate weekly Shabbat services. Being part of this group helps us build connections and community, which helps us strengthen our sense of identity,\u201d says Gold.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s Part of Who I Am\u2019<\/h3>\n

Steven Doctorman,<\/strong> who is studying chemical and biomolecular engineering, says he was \u201cdisconnected from faith\u201d when he came to Johns Hopkins as a first-year student. \u201cI didn\u2019t feel like a practicing Jew when I first arrived at Hopkins. During my first year, we were remote because of COVID, and I struggled to find students to relate to or with whom I identified,\u201d he says. But then he had coffee with a senior in the Hillel Welcome Squad, a program now managed by Rachel Gordon, an Israel Engagement Professional with Johns Hopkins Hillel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat senior welcomed me to campus and consistently invited me to events and religious services. I realized there was a community for me after all. I am now part of the Welcome Squad, to welcome first-year students who identify as Jewish on their college application. This helped me become a meaningful part of the community,\u201d says Doctorman. \u201cNow most of my closest friends are Jewish; it is part of who I am. The Welcome Squad changed the course of my college life, and being part of it provides me with the opportunity to do the same for others, to provide access to a community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sneha Kamada,<\/strong> who is studying biomedical engineering, is one of the captains of JHU JOSH<\/a>,\u00a0an all-female and nonbinary fusion group incorporating Indian classical dance styles (Bharatanatyam, Kathak)\"JHU<\/a>, hip-hop, South Indian Kuthu, and occasionally Bhangra, Raas, and Latin styles.\u00a0(The word josh comes from the Hindi language and means energy.)<\/p>\n

As a multicultural group, participants consciously aim to reflect the unique cultural identities of their members and to provide an inclusive space for members to express themselves through dance. \u201cI grew up in a small town where I was the only Indian girl in my year [at school],\u201d says Kamada. \u201cI had no cultural outlet, which is what I was looking for when I came to Hopkins. This group allows me to express my culture through choreography and to have a family here on campus. When we perform at cultural events, it feels much less intimidating to do so together,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u2018A Safe Space\u2019<\/h3>\n\"Photograph<\/a>\n

Em Ambrosius,<\/strong> who is studying applied math and chemistry, became a board member of the Diverse Sexuality and Gender Alliance<\/a> in the spring of their first year at Hopkins. \u201cI learned about DSAGA during a JHU orientation event. We struggled with membership during COVID, but I am excited for in-person meetings this year,\u201d says Ambrosius. \u201cOne of the best parts of our meetings is how we go around and introduce ourselves at the beginning of every meeting. If you\u2019re trying out new pronouns or experimenting with a different name, it doesn\u2019t have to be through some big announcement that you change the way people refer to you; you can just introduce yourself and try it out,\u201d says Ambrosius, who uses they\/them pronouns.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembership is confidential, so students don\u2019t have to worry about revealing their identity if they\u2019re not out yet. For me, it\u2019s a safe space where I can totally be myself, within my nonbinary identity, and everyone\u2019s okay with that,\u201d they say. DSAGA caters mostly to queer students but is also welcoming of their friends and allies. The group\u2019s main goal is to foster a sense of community, to provide a space for conversations and connections.<\/p>\n

Empowering Other Women<\/h3>\n

Michelle Mokaya,<\/strong> who is studying chemical and biomolecular engineering, has been a member of Knotty By Nature<\/a> since her first year at Hopkins.<\/p>\n

A Baltimore native, she grew up in predominantly Black spaces and regarded Hopkins as a predominantly white institution. \u201cComing to Hopkins was a culture shock, and I wasn\u2019t sure how I was going to navigate. I purposefully put myself in Black affinity spaces so I could find a sense of community. At Whiting, especially as a Black female, there are not a lot of people who look like me. Being part of KBN instilled confidence and made me feel like I belong,\u201d says Mokaya.<\/p>\n

KBN is a natural hair club that focuses on the empowerment of natural hair among the Black community. \u201cKnotty By Nature empowers others to talk about the politics associated with natural hair\u2014as a form of identity or culture. General pop culture does not regard natural hair as a beauty standard. It\u2019s seen as \u2018unkempt.\u2019 We want to change the narrative,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The Black hair experience isn\u2019t exclusive to natural hair; it also includes protective styling such as braids, wigs, and even includes those who have lost their hair. \u201cWe understand that people have different needs and<\/p>\n

circumstances, so we want KBN to be a safe space no matter what hair journey someone is in. You could have natural hair, be in a transitioning phase, or still use relaxers or texturizers,\u201d she explains. Wearing a wig or braiding hair with extensions are popular hairstyles for Black women, which provides protection for hair while it is growing out to avoid breakage, says Mokaya.<\/p>\n

KBN holds community events to educate city students about natural hair care and to introduce new Hopkins students to local hair care resources. \u201cI always want to make sure I am involved with groups that continue to cultivate a positive Black experience at JHU,\u201d she says. \u201cMy friends and I have been active in these Black affinity groups since our freshman year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristina De Jong,<\/strong> who is studying materials science, has been a member of the Cuban American Undergraduate Students Association<\/a> since her first year at Hopkins when a fellow sorority sister exclaimed, \u201cHey, girl\u2014you\u2019re Cuban. You have to come to CAUSA!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI never thought of myself as super Cuban,\u201d says De Jong. \u201cI\u2019m not from Miami; I don\u2019t speak Spanish that well; don\u2019t know slang; my mom is Cuban, but my dad is not. I didn\u2019t feel very well connected to my culture before coming to Hopkins, but this group has helped me reconnect to that part of my identity,\u201d says De Jong.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn CAUSA, I get to meet people with the same experience with culture that is common to all of us,\u201d she says. Especially after the COVID-19 disruption, she is excited to be back to in-person events. \u201cSo much of the draw of our membership is offering a physical community, and often with food,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am most excited about our upcoming domino tournament. We actually started planning it a few years ago and are finally able to have it,\u201d she says. \"Photograph<\/a>\u201cPlaying dominoes is a well-known part of our culture. You see all the old guys in the park playing it. And there will be prizes. I am hoping we can have empanadas.\u201d CAUSA co-hosted the tournament with the Puerto Rican Student Association since playing dominoes is also inherent to their culture.<\/p>\n
