86th Annual Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta Program Book

Dear Regatta Participants and Enthusiasts, We are so delighted to welcome you to this year’s Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta. It is such an exciting time for the athletes participating, and for the family, friends, classmates, and fans cheering them on! Indeed, this has been a year full of excitement for the Jefferson community. We concluded our bicentennial celebration, commemorating the University’s 200-year legacy of innovation and leadership in higher education, health care and community service. Our students, staff, and faculty marked that legacy with another milestone: collectively performing more than 200,000 hours of volunteer engagement and public service with the people and communities of Eastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey. 2025 began our third century, and we are determined to broaden and deepen our impact. Like the athletes competing in this Regatta, we are constantly striving to move forward, continuously working to reach our full potential. As individuals and as collaborators, we are seeking answers to society’s biggest questions and solutions to our world’s most intractable problems. Like the teams in the Regatta, we too are pursuing ambitious goals. In our case, that means ensuring that a Jefferson education delivers enduring value for our students; that our graduates are prepared to capitalize on the new opportunities that dynamic times create; and are thus able to succeed throughout their professional careers. In short, Jefferson is striving to redefine possible. And we are proud to be closely associated with the Dad Vail athletes who carry that same spirit of possibility and embody a Jeffersonian commitment to collaboration in the pursuit of excellence. We extend our congratulations to everyone participating in the 2025 Regatta. Susan C. Aldridge, PhD President, Thomas Jefferson University to the Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta!
