When you arrived at Temple, you might have been met with the natural instinct to look around and figure out how you could distinguish yourself from the vast number of diverse faces and personalities. How, you wondered, could you carve out a small niche for yourself in such a large environment? Over the past four years - or however long it has taken you to complete your degree! - we hope you have been able to do just that. Temple has afforded you numerous opportunities to put your own stamp on your college education, whether it meant joining a club or organization, or even establishing a new one. It might have meant setting forth a new idea in the classroom, asking a question that ' s never been asked or pursuing an issue that ' s never been pursued. These are just a few of the things you can do to set yourself apart from your peers. But as you prepare to graduate from Temple University, you ' ll find that, despite your best efforts to establish your independence, you are not alone. In fact, you are a part of a large group once again. While you did carve out your own niche here at Temple, you now leave North Broad Street with a collective group of individuals who are about to embark upon the same journey. - ..

What did they say? Being a part of Temple University ' s large network of campuses ranging from Philadelphia to Tokyo, stude- nts have the daunting task of distinguishing themselves from a arge student body. A student ' s ife at Temple is not simply about academics. Although this is a large part of the college experi- ence here at Temple, there is also a large focus put on hands-on real world experience and advice. Your law professor may tell you to skip chapters because when he attended Law school, learning to file a good complaint made all the difference. Or in physics class, the professor may not feel the sidebar illustrati- ons in your textbook were really doing the trick, so the 200-student lecture will turn into a labrotory of scientists leading their own experiments. However, a college student ' s life would not be complete without being a part of some social scene. Whether your scene is diving into different student organizations on campus or hitting the streets of Philadelphia to find your own fun, every student will grow and learn during their years in college. And as the students ' lorizons expand, each student creates a different element that makes Temple University the evolving and diverse campus that it is.
