Dear Colleagues, 

Over the last few weeks, we have enjoyed a busy and productive start to the fall semester. We welcomed the largest first-year class in this institution’s history, moved the College of Public Health into the beautifully renovated Paley Hall, and our new Temple Women and Families Hospital officially opened its doors. 

These are significant accomplishments, and we owe them all to the efforts of our dedicated faculty and staff. I continue to be amazed by the collective spirit of this community. 

As a small token of my appreciation, every university and health system employee can claim two free tickets to Temple Football’s Homecoming game against Navy, which will be held Saturday, Oct. 11, at Lincoln Financial Field. Tickets can be retrieved by using this link, and additional discounted tickets can also be purchased with that same link. 

Head Coach K.C. Keeler has helped the Owls get off to an impressive start this season, and I do hope you will join me next month to cheer the Owls on to victory and celebrate Temple pride.  

To ensure our employees have all the Cherry and White gear they need for Homecoming, Follett will offer a 25% discount to all Temple University and Temple Health employees during Homecoming week, so be sure to visit our new-and-improved bookstore. 

Once again, I want to thank you all for helping start this semester off on such a positive note. I am deeply grateful to all of you.  

Warm regards, 

John Fry 
President
