200 years ago, we built a university
that set out to change the practice of medicine.
We did that and so much more because along the way,
we learned that while we were teaching our students to care
for patients through hands-on experiences,
our students were teaching us to care
for our health for our communities and for our future.
They reminded us that humanity is just as healing
as a shot of penicillin, that listening, compassion,
creativity, and empathy can equally transform a patient's
health, and that by merging architecture, business, design,
engineering, fashion, textiles, and the social sciences
with a health sciences university,
we could fundamentally reinvent their passions into something
new but always, always captured through the lens of our mission
to improve lives.
It's a mission Jefferson has embraced for generations,
a mission so powerful it started a movement that continuously
redefines what's possible.
At Jefferson, we're forever transforming the worlds we
touch by seeing things others can't, reimagining things
others won't, and doing things others don't.
So when the world tells Jefferson's story,
it will begin right where it started in 1824,
at improving the lives and futures of our communities;
creating the next generation of healers, builders, researchers,
and creators; empowering tomorrow's leaders
to boldly and unapologetically define what's
possible in our next 200 years.
