Semester.ly started in 2014 by a few university students who wanted to not only challenge themselves but change the way students develop their course schedules. By 2017, we rolled out at Johns Hopkins University and several other schools, quickly accumulating many intrigued users. In 2019, we decided to partner with the Hopkins IT Department to subsidize our student developers and sustain our project. If there's anything we learned, it's that students can dream big and continue to help this project flourish.
