Students Achieve 97% Job & Grad School Success

For well over a decade, the vast majority of recent alumni—97% for the Class of 2023—are employed, in graduate school or the military. Jefferson’s latest First Destination Report surveyed nearly 350 undergraduates, and the results showcase the University’s professions-driven programs, deep industry connections, alumni support and strong faculty involvement.

Celebrating First-Generation Students

First-generation college students often face unique academic and financial challenges—including, on average, lower post-graduation salaries than their continuing-generation peers. Recognizing these challenges and aiming to create programming that supports Jefferson’s first-generation students, the University hosted the First-Generation Celebration Luncheon, an inaugural campus-wide event for first-generation students.

Redefine Possible

To redefine humanly possible, we dare to ask the bold questions. But asking tough questions isn’t enough–we need to answer them. By converging people, ideas and perspectives, we find innovative solutions for real-world problems. We focus on our craft to drive progress and growth in architecture, business, design, engineering, fashion & textiles, health, medicine, nursing, science and social science.

Finding Calm in Ocean Waves & Galaxies

Can immersive arts improve well-being? A recent Jefferson installation, 'A Deep Dive into Calm at Ravenhill Chapel,' was motivated by the question. “As the technology continues to evolve, we can really push the boundaries for adapting immersive arts to create spaces where people can just pause, and hopefully experience some calm,” says Lyn Godley, MFA, a professor of industrial design and a prolific artist herself.
