The year in photos

Hub staff, Dec 20

Between trailblazing financial aid support for Peabody Institute and School of Medicine students, groundbreakings for the upcoming Henrietta Lacks and Bloomberg Public Health buildings, and countless medical, academic, and scientific breakthroughs, 2024 has been a year to remember for Johns Hopkins University.

Now, as December comes to an end, the Hub is looking back at some of the memorable moments that caught our photographers’ eyes in 2024.
