Earlier this year, fashion merchandising and management student Monty Taylor had an idea that tapped his storytelling skills and brought a new dimension to his academic experience — Jefferson needed its own varsity jacket.

“I’ve always been a creative kid, and fashion is the medium I’m using now to express myself,” explains Monty, who works in retail at Jefferson Campus Stores. “I walked in and told my manager: ‘I’ll design the whole thing. I’ll shoot the whole campaign. I’ll pitch it to whoever.’”

Soon after, his manager emailed him, “How soon can you get that pitch going?”

Monty’s jacket debuted at Homecoming last month. It sold out in a matter of days, but don’t worry — fresh stock just arrived. “This is for anybody proud to go to TJU,” Monty says.

👋 Meet Seth Martin, a 2021 graduate of Jefferson’s MS in Medical Cannabis Science and Business program.

What led you to Jefferson?
💙 Jefferson stands apart from other cannabis education options because of its extensive academic resources. Plus, it’s one of the first universities with a world-renowned medical school to offer a program focused on the medicinal uses of cannabis and h**p.

How has a Jefferson degree impacted your career?
🎓 Jefferson prepared me for the rapidly changing cannabis industry by exposing me to current scientific research and providing insights into the regulatory requirements in states where cannabis is legal for medical and/or recreational use. In addition, the University has provided me with a competitive edge in interviews with companies in the cannabis and h**p industries. My unique degree is always a point of conversation.

What has your career path looked like?
👨‍🔬 I’ve held several scientific leadership positions in the cannabis industry. While in graduate school, I was an analytical and formulation chemist for a C*D company in Pennsylvania, an extraction chemist for a cannabis company in Colorado, and an extraction chemist for a company in Pennsylvania’s medical cannabis industry.

After graduation, I served as the scientific director at a cannabis company with licenses in Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island for two years. My primary responsibility was running its production facility on Martha’s Vineyard.

I’m currently an expert witness and consultant for Cannaspire, and I founded SMart Extraction and Formulation, which provides consulting services in extraction and formulation for companies operating in the cannabis, h**p, and nutraceutical industries.

What advice would you give to students considering Jefferson’s cannabis program?
💬 Be ready to join an industry that requires people to be highly adaptable, creative, and innovative.

What’s something people would be surprised to find out about you?
🪴 I’ve been gardening every summer for the past 18 years, growing corn, onions, sweet potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, basil, squash, and even bananas.

Where physicians train often influences where they choose to practice.

That’s why we’re proud to partner with the Delaware Health Care Commission to support the next generation of physicians in Kent and Sussex counties through new scholarship opportunities for Sidney Kimmel Medical College students.

With access to healthcare a top concern for rural communities, University President Dr. Susan Aldridge says it’s vital to introduce early-career physicians to these areas.

“It’s extremely important for them to get to know the communities,” she says. “There are a lot of unique areas that they need to learn and study and understand the impact that they can make as a physician in these communities.”

By creating meaningful clinical experiences in rural Delaware, Jefferson is helping build a stronger physician workforce, expand access to care, and invest in healthier futures across the state.

This initiative complements Jefferson’s broader work to create Delaware’s first medical school, further strengthening opportunities for aspiring physicians to learn, train, and serve where they’re needed most.

At Jefferson College of Architecture, Design and Engineering, students across architecture, design, engineering, construction management, interior architecture, and more learn in an environment that encourages them to cross fields and apply their skills to real-world challenges.

“Innovation and entrepreneurship grow naturally out of the way we teach,” says Dean Barbara Klinkhammer. “Our curricula are grounded in human-centered design, interdisciplinary collaboration, and applied learning, encouraging students to identify real-world challenges and develop innovative solutions that create meaningful value for individuals, communities, and industries.”

That entrepreneurial mindset can take many forms. Alumni have launched architecture firms and technology companies, while some students aren’t even waiting until graduation to put their ideas into practice.

For example, MS in User Experience and Interaction Design alumnus Fredric V. Freeman co-founded OnXR Immersive, which uses immersive technology to address challenges in the life sciences.

Almost any fashion brand you can name has a New York City headquarters. For Jefferson’s Fashion Merchandising and Management program, that makes the city a classroom.

On a recent trip, students — including Skye Barry — sat front row during New York Fashion Week, walked luxury retail floors to study how top brands present themselves, and met industry professionals to explore potential career paths.

These trips go beyond sightseeing. Students bring their experiences back into their coursework, gaining insights into how brands operate, what’s shifting in culture, and how people in the city dress and feel right now. That firsthand industry knowledge makes them valuable to brands after graduation.
