If you've strolled through the Gilman tunnel recently, you will have most certainly noticed the bright collages featuring pictures from project known as "The Hop Hunt." This activity took place this past fall of 2006 and served as an effort to have Hopkins students get more involved in the community they are immersed in upon their arrival to Baltimore. The Counseling Center Advisory Board, more commonly known as CCAB, began efforts to improve the sense of community two years ago when they requested ideas from campus faculty, staff and students and received a total of 58 proposals.
"From mauka to makai," our native Hawaiian site supervisor said, gesturing from the mountains to the ocean of the picturesque island of Kauai.
With island radio blasting in the 15-passenger van, jet-lagged Hopkins students stared out the windows in amazement at the stunning natural features of the Hawaiian island of Kauai.

Hopkins has grown into one of the leading research universities in the nation with several divisions of research hard at work, but one that many may not know about is the Applied Physics Laboratory. This nonprofit division is located in Laurel, Md. and was established in 1942 to further war efforts after the Pearl Harbor attack. Essential to the nation's research and development in space science, the APL works on over 400 programs intended to help resolve crucial challenges presented to the U.S.
Virtually every person that visits Hopkins takes a moment to marvel at the sheer beauty of our surroundings on the Homewood campus. Although Hopkins is renowned for its excellence in academia, our university is also noted for its perfectly manicured greenery and its exquisite Georgian architecture.
Hopkins offers study programs across the globe in places such as France, London, Italy, Spain, Australia, China, the Czech Republic and Argentina. With countless options, how does one choose where to spend their semester abroad? For many International Relations and Romance Language majors, South America has become a popular destination.
Strolling around campus today, you would never guess that a mere 35 years ago, Hopkins admitted its first female undergraduate students. The previously all-male institution opened its doors to women in 1970, offering them an opportunity to become part of an independent, intellectual atmosphere. Over the years, the female presence and influence on campus has taken giant leaps forward, as Hopkins now admits women to represent over half of incoming classes.
