Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on The Flock, its Instagram account and efforts to increase attendance at Hopkins sports games.
- The News-Letter reported that improving Hopkins culture was a question for the administration and SGA, and that seniors Danielle Bejar and Elise Ederle run The Flock’s Instagram account for the student sports section.
- The paper reported that Bejar said the account was meant for regular students seeking a broader college experience, with sports helping students build school pride and community.
- The article adds that Ederle said the goal was for all 6,000 undergraduates to meet people and build a community outside academics at games.
- The reporter writes that the account advertises home games and giveaways; the article says Hopkins Athletics gave out 200 shirts at the first football game and ran out.
- According to the article, attending games can provide a break from schoolwork and help students meet people, and the writer expects The Flock to help keep stands full later in the year.
