To the Temple University community,  

It is an incredible honor to join this vibrant community today as Temple University’s 15th president. This is an institution with a deeply impactful mission that provides transformative opportunities and changes lives.   

While I’ve had the pleasure of meeting some of you in the time leading up to today, I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible in the coming weeks.  

Since we all can’t be together on my first day, I invite you to view this video message. 

I look forward to the work ahead, and I am excited to collaborate with you to take Temple to new heights.  

Warm regards, 

John Fry 
President
