To the Hopkins and Baltimore community: thank you
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 phrase “student government”.

- The article adds that Walinskas joined the Aitchison Public Policy Program, which included internships in Washington, D.C.
