In the first installment of a periodic video series profiling Temple faculty, Professor of English and American Studies Miles Orvell discusses his experiences at Temple and his respect for the talent and drive of his students.

"I’ve taught here basically for my entire career, which was completely different from what I expected," said Orvell. "When I got here I just found that everything seemed right about it and I love being here, love the city, love the university, and the university has changed enormously over these years."
