And the Honorable Mention Goes To... The Honors Program at Temple University brings together a group of highly intellectual students that simply love to learn. These students do not just represent one group at Temple; the Honors Program includes students from every major. Students can chose to live in the Honors Wing and truly get to know the other Honors students. By living and learning together, students learn to understand each other's backgrounds. There is an Honors Activity Board which organizes activities such as an Oreo stacking contest, trips to New York and movie nights. These fun social events help the Honors students have a little bit of fun after their classes. Being in the Honors program has many benefits such as smaller classes, personal advising sessions and a tight-knit community. - Christina Desanto Sophomore Michael Donovan relaxes in his room while he finishes his class work.

Just Another Day at the Office... A crucial part to every student's education is a chance to experience firsthand what they spend hours learning about in classrooms and reading about in text books. Internships give students the opportunity to explore their chosen fields. Hundreds of companies, corporations, and organizations all across the nation open their doors to Temple students who want to further their education outside of the classroom. Even when students are not able to leave campus for their internship, Temple University itself can provide on-campus job experience. Senior Religion major George Keddie gained invaluable experience while working for Temple. Since I aspire to be a professor of religion, working as a liaison for the Religion Department and as a tutor for the Intellectual Heritage Department has familiarized me with the requirements, responsibilities, and initiatives of faculty members as well as the needs and troubles of students, said Keddie. Due to Temple's prime location, size, and credibility, students sporting the Temple T on their resume never have to go far to be able to experience the career they have been working towards. - Leah Stoner Photo courtesy of Ally Martielli HELPING HANDS Grace Obando prepares for a Boyz II Men concert at Penn's Landing during her internship with Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation PART OF THE TEAM Ally Martelli takes a picture with Rob Hill during her internship at the Wachovia Center.
