With National Nurses Week Upon us from May 6 to 12, it’s a ceremonial time to recognize the amazing things that those professionals bring to the healing world.

This episode of the Thomas Jefferson University News Podcast shares a story that starts with students interested in learning more about the profession and culminates with a look at a new initiative designed to further the education of those already in the field.

We start with a look at the College of Health Professions’ Introduction to Nursing course which serves as a launching pad for those interested in learning more about the profession, and as you will hear from students, the messages build quite a foundation.

From there, they can enter a rewarding field in which a lifelong learning mindset has recently been bolstered by the formation of a Nurse Leader Accelerator initiative.

With guidance from College of Nursing Dean Marie Ann Marino, Connelly Foundation Chief Nurse Executive Officer Kate Fitzpatrick and Senior Vice President/Chief Nursing Executive Annemarie Chavarria, Jefferson created to provide a unique educational experience to advance their roles in the professional world.

While there are millions of stories from within the nursing world, consider this one bookended from the start of some would-be nurses’ journey into the heights they can achieve in the field.

Welcome to the start of Jefferson’s third century. During our Bicentennial Year, we celebrated a lot of what got Jefferson to this point but as 2024 becomes 2025, attention now turns to our future.

In this episode of the Thomas Jefferson News Podcast, we look at five exciting projects underway within the University’s College of Architecture and the Built Environment, Athletics Department, College of Rehabilitation Sciences, College of Population Health, a Health Design Lab and Sidney Kimmel Medical College mashup. They range from an architecture studio seeking ways to not just reduce – but eliminate – homelessness in cities and the production of cost-effective 3D printed models for renal masses to visions for the future of athletics at the University … and a whole lot more.

Our hope is to evolve this episode into a series, so if you know of any innovative forward-facing projects being worked on throughout the enterprise, do not hesitate to recommend them for inclusion.

In an effort to fight inflation and protect the job market, the U.S. Federal Reserve central bank on September 18 announced it was cutting interest rates by half a percentage point.

This was noteworthy as it represents the first rate cut since 2020, and it is not expected to be the last.

In this episode of the Nexus podcast, we talk to Davinder “D.K.” Malhotra, professor of finance and director of Thomas Jefferson University’s MBA programs, and associate professor of finance Tim Mooney about the importance of the rate cuts – both current and upcoming – particularly what it will mean for students and alumni today and in the future.
