About ADP

This selective, eight-month program for high-potential administrative professionals, designed to build the key competencies required for success in senior-level administrative roles. Cohorts are small, with fewer than 15 employees across the university selected for each program. Each participant is paired with a senior administrative professional as a mentor, and the group meets at various Hopkins locations in the Baltimore area.
