Student Assembly
The Student Assembly represents, preserves, and promotes the interests of all students at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Students have a voice at the Bloomberg School. The Student Assembly ensures that voice is heard by the School’s leadership and that it informs decision making, shapes strategic planning, and influences student quality of life.
From issues of diversity and equity to recognizing exemplary staff to relaying sensitive concerns of students directly and anonymously to administrators, the Student Assembly advocates for students and the issues students care about.
