Temple University’s Board of Trustees unanimously elected Tamron Hall, SMC ’92, as a university trustee Oct. 13. Hall anchors MSNBC’s NewsNation with Tamron Hall and co-hosts the 9 a.m. hour of NBC’s Today.

 

“I am grateful to the board of trustees at Temple University for this opportunity,” Hall said. “As a kid from Luling, Texas, I never imagined this could happen. I only hope to inspire other students to face the unknown, believe the future includes you and never feel excluded. I love Temple and the great city that is Philadelphia. I am honored to be an Owl.”

 

Hall’s appointment as a trustee is effective immediately, and her term extends through Oct. 9, 2018.
