{ Temple News }
Members of the Temple community officially welcomed students from the class of 2017 at the annual Convocation ceremony Friday, capping a full week of opening events celebrating the arrival of freshmen and transfer students. The class represents one of the largest, most academically distinguished and multiculturally diverse classes in Temple history, with students ranging in age from 16 to 64 and hailing from 53 Pennsylvania counties, 43 states and 56 countries on six continents.
Members of the university community can now recycle mixed plastics, Nos. 1-7, thanks to an expanded recycling program that began Aug. 1. Examples of newly accepted items include yogurt cups, clamshell containers, straws, iced coffee beverage cups and a wider range of plastic containers for food and medicine. The expanded program helps advance goals set forth in the university’s Climate Action Plan to increase the recycling rate to 40 percent from 32 percent by 2015.
