After weeks of below-average temperatures, spring arrived just in time for Temple’s 2011 Spring Fling.

Throngs of students spent a sunny Wednesday afternoon bouncing — literally — from one attraction to another throughout the center of Main Campus. Set to a soundtrack provided by WHIP radio and several live bands that performed at the Bell Tower, the day featured free food and goodie bags, and everything from skateboarding to fencing, trampolines to dunk tanks and sumo-wrestling to rock climbing.  Student organizations and vendors lined the pathways, enticing passersby with giveaways, information and contests.

Spring Fling is hosted annually by the Office of Student Activities.
