HOPKINS GROUPS groups.jhu.edu Hopkins Groups is the online platform for Johns Hopkins University student groups. Groups can use the system to: • • • • Manage rosters Send group emails Store documents and photos Hold elections • • • Post a group’s constitution Create forms and surveys Advertise events to the entire JHU campus CSC student groups are required to use Hopkins Groups to maintain an updated roster and complete annual student group re-registration, though groups are encouraged to make full use of the program’s many other functions. The CSC Groups Management interns will be offering workshops on making the most of Hopkins Groups throughout the year. Rosters Student groups are required to maintain updated rosters through Hopkins Groups at all times. Group leaders will be asked to maintain a spreadsheet with information regarding each volunteer’s completion of the required pre-service requirements. This spreadsheet should be submitted to jhu.csc.groupmanagement@gmail.com by October 15. Why Rosters? We ask student groups to submit rosters for a variety of reasons: • • • So the CSC can accurately report on the number of students involved in service Because the CSC needs certain forms to be filled out by every volunteer and we need to know whose forms we should be looking for So the CSC can get richer information about the nature of student volunteerism on campus (which will enable us to create programs that serve students better) Important: Make sure to ask the students in your group to log in to Hopkins Groups and add themselves as members—this avoids the president having to log in and manually add each student. Service Hours All students serving with CSC student groups are required to log their service hours through Track it Forward—ideally within one week of the service. Group presidents are asked to remind group members to log their hours frequently. Presidents will also need to log into the system to approve submitted hours. Logging Service Hours: 22 | P a g e
