Bridge 5 Mentorship Application

Bridge 5 is an online mentoring community connecting incoming freshmen with recent alumni. The foundation of the Bridge 5 program—tradition, community, discovery, networking, and mentorship—create a seamless academic, social, and professional experience today and in the years to come.

As Bridge 5 participants you have a unique opportunity to connect with other members of the campus community as well as alumni of the past 5 years. Your class has a special connection with the class of 2013; in four short years, when you graduate, the 2013s will be celebrating their first five year reunion. Forever after you will celebrate five year landmarks together. Alumni mentors from 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010 have volunteered for this program and are excited to spend time connecting with you! Having been through Hopkins, mentors can offer practical advice on how to get the most out of your Hopkins experience and leverage your alumni network.

Upon completion of this application, you will receive a link to join the private Bridge 5 group on LinkedIn to begin connecting with your alumni mentors. Throughout the program, mentors are available via email, phone, and even in-person to talk with mentees about college, class, and life.
