There is never a time during the academic year when school spirit is greater. Homecoming week is when each Temple student bleeds cherry and white. Starting with Fall Fest and ending with the Verizon Wireless Tour featuring the Gym Class Heros, this year there was something for everyone. What made this homecoming so special was that Temple not only was able to defeat Northern Illinois in the football game, but it also marked their first of three consecutive wins. All the events proved to be fun and exciting as students, alumni, staff and others showed their support.
