The heart of our Bicentennial celebration lies not just in reflecting on our rich history, but also looking forward to how we can work together to shape a brighter future.
As we proudly commemorate our 200 years of unwavering commitment to higher education, health care and community impact, we invite all members of the Jefferson community—employees, students, their families, patients, board members and alumni—to become part of a historic endeavor to make a profound impact on those we serve.
Two centuries of growth and impact wouldn't have been possible without the collective efforts of employees, alumni and students who have embraced our values and shaped our institution. To honor this legacy and continue the tradition of giving back, we set an ambitious goal: to contribute 200,000 hours of volunteer service to our communities during the monumental year.
Goal: 200,000 Volunteer Hours
Whether an employee, an esteemed alum, a benefactor, a dedicated student, a board member or a grateful patient, involvement was crucial in making this initiative a resounding success. Imagine the impact of 200,000 hours of service—a testament to our commitment to making a positive difference.
Volunteers dedicated time, skills and passion to projects that aligned with expertise and interests. Whether mentoring youth, participating in a neighborhood cleanup, donating blood, holding a charity drive, providing medical care in clinics, volunteering at congregations or serving on a non-profit board, contribution matters.
Participate in or lead events that foster positive change. Connect with your local community and ignite a spirit of collaboration during our Bicentennial celebration.
