This is a place where ideas take flight, friendships form, and a shared pursuit of excellence shapes the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each fall, a new class of students arrives ready to begin an academic journey defined by innovation, collaboration, and boundless possibility. From day one, they join a thriving flock\u2014faculty, staff, mentors, and peers\u2014who will support and challenge one another to soar higher.<\/p>\n

At Hopkins Engineering, advising and mentorship begin with connection. Meet The Flock is where those connections take root. Students are introduced to their deans, faculty mentors, life design educators, and professional advisors\u2014the very people who will help guide their path. They take on their first WSE Engineering Design Challenge, learn what it means to be mentored and a mentee, and hear wisdom from a recent alum who once stood where they now stand.<\/p>\n

This is more than a welcome. It is a launch.<\/p>\n

Because here, no one flies alone.<\/p>\n

A faculty mentor brings their engineering expertise to develop a collaborative learning relationship with and serve as a role model for the student. First-year students are matched with a startup mentor<\/strong> who may mentor them for their entire undergraduate career. By a student\u2019s second year, a student\u2019s faculty mentor must be affiliated with the department of their primary major<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Your faculty mentor is someone who can…<\/strong><\/p>\n
