Dylan joined the undergraduate Student Financial Support Team after three years at Hopkins’ Office of Student Enrollment and Account Management (SEAM) in East Baltimore where he worked with JHU graduate students to ensure that they had a thorough understanding of the grants, merit aid, and loans included in their financial aid award packages.

Having received generous financial aid from his own alma mater, Haverford College, he understands the importance of aid as a tool for transforming lives. He enjoys working closely with undergraduates and their families to help make Hopkins’ world-class education accessible to as many people as possible.

Outside of work, you may find him taking long walks along Stony Run. Afterwards, you may see him on a Wyman Park bench with a Kindle in hand. Whether he’s reading the poetry of Emily Dickinson, admiring Charles Village’s beautiful architecture, or even listening to the music of Franz Schubert with his earbuds in, he will always welcome a diverting conversation on any or all of these topics.

My advice to students: Always try to remember that who you are is not defined by what you do, but by the spirit in which you do things. It sounds corny, I know, but it’s true! A place like Hopkins is full of marvelous, high-achieving students, and I think I speak for all of our staff when I say we are so proud of you. Don’t let our opinions (or anyone else’s) be what drives you, though. What you learn at Hopkins will help fine-tune your sense of what is good and right: from there, learn to trust this sense, to trust your own heart. Let your heart lead you to do great things for yourself and others. We believe in you!
