We continue the tradition of honoring faculty and staff who are currently enjoying milestone years: 5, 10, 15, 20, as well as those who are celebrating 25 years or more on the Hill. Join us in celebrating the “milestone class” of the 2024–2025 school year as we thank them for their tireless work and commitment to Hopkins. We appreciate all who participated in this feature!

Keep students’ focus on the learning, not the letter, and foster a classroom environment that sprinkles joy
throughout the learning process at all times.

Elliot Faust - Associate Director of Admission
 
Hopkins is full of inspiring students and educators… get to know as many people as you can! Admissions work can sometimes feel isolating as a non-teaching faculty member, but we are all part of the same team at Hopkins and if you get to know those in your community better you can represent your school better.

Ian Guthrie - Head Adviser Class of 2029 / Visual Arts / History
 
Independence is a myth. No one can do everything on their own. We are surrounded by lovely, kind, and charitable
humans, friends, and colleagues. Interdependence is key.

Be smart enough to know you have a lot left to learn and be grateful you get to learn those lessons here.

Enjoy every minute with your advisees. Time goes by quickly, and those relationships are truly special.
