Graduate Representative Organization (GRO)

The GRO is the representative organization for graduate students belonging to the Homewood campus of JHU from both the School of Engineering as well as the School of Arts and Sciences. The GRO consists of graduate students, GC council members who function as department representatives, and an executive board. Members of the E-Board act as liaisons between graduate students and administration to advocate for graduate student needs and we host different types of social events through the year for graduate students.

For more information visit their website, or email gro@jhu.edu.
