Temple University - Templar Yearbook (Philadelphia, PA)

Page 7 text:

Welcome to another edition of the Templar Annual. This was my first year both as a Templar staff member and as an editor. I am not going to bore you with the twisted adventures I had in the process of doing this book. But I will share one piece of advice — Nothing is ever as easy as it looks. I would like to thank everyone who made this book possible — Kate Bozich. my advisor; Darren and Kevin in CMC; Myrtle, at the News Bureau; everyone at Sports Information; and last but not least my staff. My staff (you all know who you .ire) did some amazing things when the deadline had me questioning, crying, and stressing. My staff is incredible — trust me the Templar is not a one woman show. Our theme, In Transit, represents the constant progression of the University and of peo- ple — specifically you, the graduating class of ' 98. It is also a play on the urban University (you know mass transit). My first goal was to finish the book. My second was to make a book that would make you laugh, remember, and maybe even become nostalgic. Since you ' re reading this, I obviously achieved my first. I hope as you turn the pages of In Transit, I achieve my second. Good luck and best wishes, Patricia Carrington

Steel beams pierce the sky, an old traditional church becomes the site of advanced high-tech learning, the term undecided transits from the muddled indecision to clear definite decisi on, and North ' Philadelphia!! children are cared for. What could be the cause of such great change I say Temple Town . In the past two years the old Temple of high-tech reformation and learning. As one heads down 13th and Montgomery the visic Or should rs and sped into a world teases the imagination. Tuttleman, a $31 million project, embodies smart classrooms, 1,900 student stations, three lecture halls, six com- puter teaching labs, a 100 station Scholars Information Center, a reading room, and a huge student lounge and cafe :itt temple looking onto a grand atrium. The learning center is named after Edna Shanis Tuttleman, a Temple alumna, and wife of Stanley C. Tuttleman who contributed the largest individual gift Temple has ever received for a project of this magnitude. Heading up the steps of Curtis Hall into room 113, students now enter the new Academic Resource Center. This facility, headed up by Jodi Levine, Education, offers various programs that available to students rector of First Year Programs, and Miguel Gonzales, director of Continuing id students in discovering the major that best suites them. Services that are c Information Library to research majors and careers, informational work- shops on various majors, and mentoring programs establishing a solid link between students and persons within the university, the local community, and the workplace. Exiting Curtis Hall and heading North up Park Mall, one is confronted by a curious newly renovated Gothic style church. a church choir that gathers within the building but Temple students piously heading to new high-tech computerized smart classrooms with remote sites for teleconferencing and on-line access. The building is Shusterman Hall, the law school conference center, named after Murray Shusterman, a dis- tinguished Philadelphia attorney philanthropist and Temple alumnus. Shusterman dedicated $1 million dollars in adjunct with the six decades he has devoted to Temple University as a student, faculty member, alumnus, trustee, lawyer, and benefactor. In addition, Shusterman Hall consists of a large multipurpose room, four seminar break-out rooms, and a caterers ' pantry. Finally, hopping on a campus shuttle and heading straight up North Broad Street brings us to the new Temple University Children ' s Hospital on the Health and Allied Science campus. Temple University no longer staffs the pediatric department at St. Christopher ' s hospital but has created its own children ' s hospital to undertake the problems of North Philadelphia ' s children. It treats cases like low immunizations rates, ineffective prenatal care, high incidents of lead poisoning, low birth weight, and high rates of infant mortality. The 60-bed facility will do more than administer to the physical needs of the community but educate, through outreach programs in city schools about trauma prevention, prenatal care, and lead poisoning. -Ivy Edlow
