Discover Where a Summer at Johns Hopkins Could Take You

Summer Jobs Program students gain hands-on experience in healthcare, administrative, and academic settings across Johns Hopkins. Explore how three students contributed during their internships and learn about the types of opportunities that may be available each summer.

These students represent just three of the many experiences available through the Summer Jobs Program. Placement opportunities change each year based on participating departments, so placement in a particular department or type of role is not guaranteed.
