The Benevolent Perfect Storm

David Ellwood, the Dean of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard has it right!! We are facing a potential benevolent perfect storm, which is steering students back to public service and to health care specifically. With billions of dollars in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Stimulus Bill, headed to health care, smart students are headed in the same direction. I am hopeful that the Jefferson School of Population Health will benefit from this newly developing social trend and that this storm will deposit interested and motivated students at our doorstep. We are ready!! We are working hard to organize our faculty and our considerable resources to prepare for this storm and we will be there on Nine Nine Zero Nine----the first day of class. I hope you will join me soon as we begin the journey of preparing a new generation of leaders for the health care industry. Happy Easter and Happy Passover too. I am interested in your views about the Benevolent Perfect Storm, DAVID NASH
