Welcome to
Temple University!
Dear Temple Parent,
Congratulations on being the parent of
a Temple University student! You can be
proud to know that your son or daughter
is among the brightest and most talented
class we have ever admitted. I am
delighted they have chosen Temple as
the place to pursue their higher education
and leadership journey. As Vice President
for Student Affairs, I want to personally
inform you the staff in the Division of
Student Affairs is here to support our
students in every possible way.
As your son or daughter prepares to
enroll at Temple, you can be confident
that projects and adventures outside
the classroom will be as rewarding
as experiences inside the classroom.
Temple University is recognized for its
comprehensive academic programs,
diverse student body and proximity to
the City of Philadelphia. Temple students
have access to a myriad of events and
programs, such as: lecture series’, cultural
performances, world-renowned speakers
and athletic events. Approximately 300
student organizations — focusing on
academic, service and social life — are
available for our students to join. Indeed,
student life at Temple is vibrant and alive!
4
The Division of Student Affairs is a
resource that can assist your son or
daughter in becoming a successful,
contributing member of the Temple
University Community. Please encourage
him or her to take the time to carefully
examine our various components, as
Student Affairs is the beating heart of
student life on campus. They can begin
by taking advantage of programs and
services offered in our state-of-the-art
facilities, like the Howard-Gittis Student
Center. Here, students socialize and dine
in the food court, enjoy movies in the
theatre, prepare for class in the study
lounge, attend a reading or lecture, or
mingle and unwind in the game room.
We are here to help our students achieve
academic, personal, and career goals.
Please visit the Student Affairs website to
learn more about campus life at Temple
at. I look forward to meeting you and your
son or daughter this fall. We are all very
excited about the journey upon which
they are about to embark. Go Owls!
Sincerely,
Theresa A. Powell, Ph.D.
Vice President for Student Affairs ■
