Visit the 2nd floor to explore the new exhibit "The White Rose Resistance." The exhibit features posters and photographs detailing the history and legacy of the White Rose Resistance, a group of medical students and faculty who outspokenly denounced Hi**er and the N**i regime during the 1940s.

All members of the White Rose Resistance group were executed, and today they are remembered for their strong values of independent thinking, freedom, and tolerance. They are also looked at as a symbol of humanitarian justice, anti-discrimination, and anti-violence.

Congratulations to our very own Timber Weber for winning the 2nd place prize in the Drs. Theresa & Charles Yeo Writing Prize. This year's prize amplified the voices of Jefferson's LGBTQIA+ community by using storytelling and poetry to bring people together.

This year’s Drs. Theresa and Charles Yeo Writing Prize sought to amplify the voices of Jefferson’s LGBTQ+ community and use storytelling and poetry to bring people together.

“The news is a battleground of ideas with contrasting viewpoints and positions surrounding the LGBTQ+ community,” says Kyle Conner, of the Office of Human Research. “In health care and higher education, we work to improve lives and foster learning, and the Yeo Writing Prize can help us achieve Jefferson’s mission by championing the LGBTQ+ community through writing.”
