Neil Theobald, in line to be Temple's next president, said increasing financial aid to students and fundraising will be among his top priorities. "Philanthropy is my number one issue that I'm here to work on," he said. “I was impressed by his honesty," said Mia Luehrmann, associate dean for undergraduate studies. "I thought his willingness to talk on a variety of subjects and to be completely transparent with things that he was not as knowledgeable about … was really impressive."
