“Only when our head and heart work in harmony can we attain our true human potential.”
Three years ago this month, world-renowned ethologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall visited WashU’s campus to deliver a powerful message on Inspiring Hope Through Action.
In her signature calm, grounded voice, Dr. Goodall spoke to a packed Graham Chapel, and to hundreds more via livestream, about our shared responsibility to protect the planet and each other.
She reflected on her evolution from a curious young girl to a trailblazing scientist. At the heart of that journey was her mother, Vanne Goodall, whose unwavering support and wisdom empowered her to explore, question, and boldly follow her curiosity.
Because of Vanne, the world got Jane. And because of Jane, countless lives have been changed, for the better.
For your life, your legacy, and your impact, Thank you, Dr. Jane Goodall.
