Johns Hopkins Center for Leadership Education

"When we love a school or a program, it’s often because of the people. The MSIL program fosters a tight-knit community where students and professors can form deep connections, and the faculty members are incredibly supportive. Additionally, MSIL offers a highly flexible curriculum, blending online and in-person courses. This flexibility has allowed me to dedicate time each semester to taking undergraduate courses in subjects that interest me, such as French, microeconomics, and various AI-related courses." We recently caught up with current MSIL student Harvey He to learn more about his experience in the program, attending the Immersion Program in London, and the courses and faculty that have made an impact on his plans post graduation.
