In a recent email to the student community, President Ronald J. Daniels announced that alumnus Michael Bloomberg officially rescinded his $1 billion donation, initially designed to alleviate the financial burden of tuition and make the medical school tuition-free for most students. The news has left medical students in disbelief, scrambling to reassess their financial futures, and, in some cases, cancel their weekend brunch plans.
On Wed. March 26, the University announced that a $4.5 billion gift from Bloomberg Philanthropies would cover full tuition for undergraduate students who fulfill certain criteria, such as majoring in Political Science, starting in Fall 2025.
On March 31, the University announced a two-year renovation plan for the Milton S. Eisenhower (MSE) Library Annex, formerly the Hopkins Club. This project is part of the MSE Library Modernization Project that started in June 2024.
After over a century of confusion, Hopkins has listened to public appeal and officially embraced its oft-called misnomer. Welcome to the new John Hopkins University. On Tuesday, March 11, a focus group of students attended a pre-release in the Glass Pavilion, during which new logo designs, merchandise and signage were revealed. The University was met with mixed opinions on this long coming change.
