Sometimes students look at their professors and wonder if they can really relate to what its like to be a student in today's world. In a class taught by Professor Paul Kramer of the History Department, the answer is a resounding "Yes." A graduate of the Johns Hopkins Class of 1991, Kramer never believed he would return to Hopkins on the "other side." But seven years later in 1998, after receiving his Ph.D. from Princeton, Kramer finally received his own office in Gilman, the same building where he had worked in the coffee shop as an undergrad. From coffee boy to faculty member, Kramer has certainly come full circle.

During the summer months, many Hopkins students enjoy their time away from the books by exercising and building up a chiseled look that they can bring back to school in September. In the past, this summer schedule seldom carried over into the academic year with the lackluster weight room on campus, not to mention all the classes and other activities students to which students are devoted.
