Temple student government Continued Leadership and Service into the Millennium Temple Student Govern- ment (TSG) was the lead Student coordinator for Homecoming 1999. It was their great pleasure to rep- resent the student body, 30,000 strong, as we set the standard for the years to come. TSG felt it was important to bring diverse students together by using the common theme of mu- sic. In the Fall of 1999, a committee was formed by Student Body President Bunmi Samuel after recog- nizing the low retention rate among Temple Univer- sity Students. He, like many, felt strongly about the need to maintainTemple ' s greatest resource, it ' s students. The committee was created through the analysis of the A.T. Kearney Report in the early 1990 ' s.
