LORI AND RICHARD JOSEPHSON

The University of Rochester transformed the lives of Lori
Josephson ’78 and Richard Josephson ’77. In addition to meeting
each other on campus through a high school friend of Lori’s (who
was also a college friend of Rich’s), their educational experiences
inside and outside the classrooms at Rochester profoundly
affected their professional paths.

Rich credits Rochester with his development as a lifelong
learner and keen student, which has served him well
throughout his graduate studies and career as a cardiologist.
He stated, “Educationally, I left the University of Rochester
a markedly different person than when I entered.”

Both Lori and Rich benefitted from the financial aid and
stipends they received, which allowed them to participate
in valuable summer internships and research experiences
