Dear 2026 Regatta Participants and Enthusiasts, We are pleased to welcome you to this year’s Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta. And very proud to be closely associated with the Dad Vail athletes, who are pursuing ambitious goals and striving for excellence. The Regatta’s participants prize teamwork, resilience and finely honed skills. They have invested the hard work necessary to succeed in a challenging environment. Just like these athletes, Jefferson is working to excel — to build on our 202-year legacy of innovation and leadership in higher education, health care and community service. Our students, staff and faculty are constantly striving to move forward, continuously working to reach their full potential. As individuals and as collaborators, we are determined to broaden and deepen the impact we have on our communities, our region and our nation. We are seeking answers to society’s biggest questions and solutions to our world’s most intractable problems. In short, Jefferson is striving to redefine possible — for our students, our patients, our researchers, our communities, our world. For the University, that means ensuring that a Jefferson education delivers enduring value for our students. We are preparing graduates for the evolving future of work by providing the skills and knowledge they’ll need to succeed throughout their professional careers. More than that, we are empowering our graduates to recognize and capitalize on the new opportunities that our dynamic times create. We recognize in the Regatta’s participants that same spirit of energetic, determined pursuit of possibility. And so, we celebrate each athlete and team, as well as the family, friends and fans cheering them on. Congratulations and best wishes to everyone participating in the 2026 Regatta! to the Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta!
