Imagine stepping into the year 2074: Cities hum with a symphony of innovation and imagination. Fusion-powered buildings stretch skyward, their design inspired by nature’s fractals. Laboratories brim with breakthroughs in quantum computing and regenerative medicine.
Our Time Machine traditionally looks back, illuminating the moments that would define Jefferson. This time, we send a message in a bottle—or capsule—half a century forward.
On December 4, Jefferson leadership sealed a Bicentennial Time Capsule at the Marion J. Siegman, PhD, FAPS Archives on the Center City campus.
Alumni, students, faculty, and staff were asked to submit items for inclusion to represent today’s Jefferson in 50 years. They will be preserved within a stainless steel and gasket material designed to protect virtually any material for centuries. Initially housed in an archives display, it will be opened in 2074 during Jefferson’s semiquincentennial.
