History lives in the stories we tell, and we’ve got stories to tell. Charles L. Blockson created one of the world’s largest centers of African and African American historical materials at Temple. Delores Andy was our city’s first woman recreation commissioner and a professor here for 30 years. Cecil B. Moore dedicated his life to equality. There’s no shortage of stories—that’s why we wanted to find out what Black History Month means to you. We talked to five students and were totally blown away by what they had to say. If you read one thing today, this should be it.
Joining prestigious research universities such as Brown, Cornell, Harvard and NYU, Temple recently ranked among the institutions that produced the most participants in the Fulbright U.S. Student Program.
Shawn L. Abbott joins Temple on May 14 from NYU, where he has been assistant vice president and dean of admissions in the enrollment management division.
Listen up, Owls: A recent survey found that nearly 35 percent of Temple students are considered food insecure (we’ll explain exactly what that means later). It’s hard to learn if you’re hungry—that’s why Temple started our own pantry, joining more than 560 pantries at colleges and universities nationwide.
