From the Dean
As I write this note, we’re busy preparing for my favorite event of the year: Finale. The Jepson Class of 2018 includes 73 majors and 11 minors. They’ve conducted research on topics like sustainability and disease prevention in South America, represented Jepson in the Ethics Bowl competition and at national conferences, and logged more than 17,000 collective hours at internship sites ranging from the U.S. Capitol Building to a hospital in Tanzania. Most importantly, they’ve learned to reason ethically, to engage in civil debate, and to critically analyze context in decision-making.
As part of the Jepson Initiative, we’re showcasing faculty expertise and Jepson students and alumni to increase Jepson’s brand nationally and abroad. I have included four quick ways you can support the Jepson Initiative, and want to challenge you to do at least two of them today.
Sincerely,
Sandra J. Peart
