Temple ' s Ambler campus has many exciting changes in it ' s future. The most recent change is the appointment of a new Dean, Dr. Cheryl Boyer. Dr. Boyer was formerly the Director of Temple University Harrisburg, and she will now be direct- ing not only Ambler, but Temple Fort Washington as well. Dr. Boyer ' s main goal is to expand the staff and the curriculum at Ambler. The newest programs being offered are certification for nursing and meeting plan- ners. The campus is also being renovated to help attract a larger enrollment. West Hall is being renovated to house the advising and registration departments, amongst others, so that all the student services will be in one location. This will make it more convenient for students to take care of their school affairs. In addi- tion, a new learning center is in the works which will contain extra classroom space, conference rooms for students, and new computer labs. Dr. Boyer hopes to strengthen the ties with Bucks, Montgomery, and Delaware County Community Colleges so that more local students will be aware of what Ambler has to offer. Collectively, these improvements should not only retain students but entice community college students as well as freshman to continue their education at Ambler. Aside from academics, Temple University Ambler has been given a new look. Last spring, a beautiful, newly designed entrance to the campus was added. Upon entering Ambler, students are greeted by white latticework surrounded bv colon- nades and climbing vines. Magnolias, azaleas, irises, day lilies and red bud all bloom around the brick walkway. Beautiful landscaping is a signature oi the Ambler campus because it is the home of the University ' s I aiuiscape Architecture and Horticulture program. Temple has maintained this program for almost 40 years and each vear the department showcases an exhibit at the Philadelphia Flower Show Forty acres of Ambler serve 10
