Temple Photo Arctiive Kofeicfoscopc of Organfeations There ' s a virtual kaleidoscope of organizations here at Temple University. Campus organizations provide the opportunity for involvement for all students. The cultural, social and academic organizations represent Temple ' s diverse population. When it comes to organizations, there ' s something for everyone. With so many choices, it ' s hard to pick just one. However, many students join several organizations because they know what an enriching experience being part of an organization can be. When many people think of campus organizations, they only think of parties and social events, but most organizations have a deeper focus. The friends you make, the experiences you gain, not to mention the impact you can have on the student body and the outlying community are a few reasons students make the choice to join organizations. The commitment to community service is seen as many organizations hold charity drives and events to better the surrounding community. Choosing to join an organization is the first step students can take to forge friendships that will last a lifetime with individuals from different backgrounds that they would normally never encounter. Temple has so many student leaders that will some day be the leaders in their communities and workplace. Organizations can help find the leader within us all while having fun and meeting new people all at the same time. We are each a piece of the kaleidoscope that makes Temple University so diverse.
