Summer is over (sad face).
But we're back!
Last school year, the Hub started Weekend Picks to let you know what's going on at JHU. Each week we'll give you our recommendations for what to do or which events to attend. We try to pick something for everyone, but you can always check out the Hub calendar for the full list of events.
So put down that remote controlling your Netflix binge and get out and enjoy all that Johns Hopkins has to offer.
