Adler Archer · Leadership
Co-founder · Johns Hopkins University
Helped launch the university’s Veterans Employee Resource Group (VERG), a staff- and faculty-led community for veterans, service members, and military-connected employees across Johns Hopkins.
The early work was deliberately unglamorous: aligning with HR and leadership on charter and priorities, building reliable peer support, and making the case that veteran talent is how the institution operates, not an add-on.
That foundation lets VERG advocate on benefits, hiring, and retention with the credibility of people who have worn the uniform and now wear Hopkins badges too—and it mirrors the lab’s SkillBridge and veteran-facing programs.
