[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Hopkins grad I want to push the school to do two things:

1. There needs to be a semester long course that’s mandatory to take every year for four years that is a public speaking/schmoozing course. Get Hollywood execs, ex politicians, pr pros/mavens to teach.

We Hopkins grads need a huge cultural mindshift in this space even if we are introverted to know how to confidently carry ourselves in extroverted spaces.

2. Gym/fitness class every semester for all four years. Hopkins can’t change our faces or height but a fitness emphasis would be a positive vibe to the school.

A much larger proliferation of club/intramural sports and mandatory participation should be instituted.

3. Bloomberg should underwrite an endowment to have Hopkins have the best and healthiest campus food bar none in the country.

It’s a research university — not a country club.  Let it be what it does well and if this is the cultural shift you want, look elsewhere. Nothing precludes any JHU student from going to the gym regularly, participating in clubs or sports, developing public speaking skills — if that’s what they’re interested in doing. But such things shouldn’t be a requirement for getting an excellent education.[/quote]
