First, there's the room you can see through the glass that's just the same as our drawing room, only the things go the other way. • Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Class, and What Mice Found There, Ch. 1 he alarm clock rings. You head into the bathroom to get ready for the day and look ito the mirror. Just what is on the other side of the mirror? When we peer into that roking-glass, exactly who is it that is staring us back in the face? At a university with a student body of over 34,000, we are all faced with the dilemma of who we are every day. Should we simply blend in with the rest of the crowd or stand out and be unique? Is that reflection the true us’ or merely a social construct of what we want others to see us as? 6 | Opening With the opportunities afforded to students at Temple University, there is no reason to stand in the back and pretend to be someone you are not. Providing 123 bachelor’s degrees, as well as a host of other degrees, Temple gives students the opportunity to find a major that truly reflects who they are. Even if one's particular major does not reveal his or her complete personality, classes like Adventure Climbing, Themes in Existentialism, and Workings of the Mind are sure to fill in the gaps. Additionally, with over 200 student organizations ranging from Temple Book Club to Yoga Temple, to field-specific fraternities like Gamma Iota Sigma, Temple's Risk Management and Insurance professional organization, the possibilities to express one's individuality are endless. Continued on page 8 Opening | 7 I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? • Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Ch. 2 Continued from page 7 In the following pages, we peer through the looking-glass at Temple University and see what it means to wear the Cherry and White and take on the role of a Temple Owl. The friends we have, the classes we take and the activities we do all reflect who we are. Immense diversity within the Temple University student body makes it the perfect place for each individual to seize the opportunity to be him- or herself. Then, when you look in the mirror in the morning and wonder who is on the other side, the answer will be clear. I want to leave you with the words of the Duchess from Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, “'Be what you would seem to be'--or if you'd like it put more simply—'Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be Otherwise.' laed Vandcrzell, Editor-in-Chief Opening Opening 9 Among the herd of people walking out of claSvS are individuals from different ethnicities who are all on their way to their destination, whether it is to the Howard Gittis Center, Liacouras Walk, the Independence Blue Cross Fitness Center, or class. Regardless of what social or economic background people come from, they enjoy the experience of being college students at Temple University. Since its existence in 1884, Temple has placed a huge emphasis on education while making sure students learn in a diverse atmosphere. Students are encouraged to maximize their learning environments inside and outside of the classroom. The possibilities at Temple are endless and the memories long-lasting. There is no telling how many lifelong friends one will make or how many endless memories one will share. Student life is a general term that encompasses a whole range and variety of topics. A student can be a resident on campus or off campus. Likewise, students can be commuters. They go to classes together, eat their meals together, work out together, and go through trials and tribulations together. Annual events such as Welcome Week, Homecoming, and The Broad Street Run are just some of the memorable moments students experience with friends. Student life at Temple is unique in comparison to other schools because a Temple student is sure to have story after story of exciting events that they have been through in their four years of college. okikiofa Aiiitwiogun Student Life j 11 -o% ampus C°k can observe a plethora of different tilings happening on typical day.

A sense of community is formed on campus since so much time is spent with people you know from classes and elsewhere. It is really a beautiful thing to lx? a part of. Campus life has truly become a home away from home for many students who have come from different states and even different countries. When students look back at their college years decades from now, at which point they will have jobs anc ami ies of their own, they will undoubtedly cherish the many moments and memor.es they experienced on campus.

Fortunately, Temple provides a variety of options for students to stay fit on campus. Students frequently use the Independence Blue Cross Fitness Center. which is open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., and the Student Pavilion, which is open from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. The outdoor track at the turf field has also recently become a hot spot for students who want to test their endurance and stamina in an outdoor setting. In addition to these options, students can join sports clubs and intramurals. Michael Drusedem, sophomore and founder of the Handball Club. said. “It’s a great feeling finding a group of people who share a common interest in a sport. It is definitely a bonding experience. Several sports club teams participated in regional and national events. “For the womens swimming club, we had weekly regular practices and invitationals throughout the year. said Indira Friel. Though commitment in spoils clubs is significant, students who participate find it a healthy and fun addition to their academic workload. Students who do not feel as if they can balance a full school workload with a sports club commitment can take solace in the more flexible, yet considerably competitive, intramural sports available to students. Playing intramural volleyball is a great experience for me, said Michelle Link. I love my Tl!

Fojr example, a Temple student will gladly correct a misinformed outsider that our color is not red, it is cherry. This display of pride is seen most during Homecoming, where fans are covered in an assortment of cherry and white. The week-long events began with the Homecoming pageant, which allowed the prospective kings and queens to strut their stuff in Mitten Hall’s Great Court. In addition, students indulged themselves at the free barbecue sponsored by Main Campus Program Board. Friday included the afternoon pep rally, held in the Howard Gittis Student Center, the Homecoming Parade and the I.upe Fiasco and Asher Roth concert. The festivities ended with the football game on Saturday, where not even rain could stop dedicated Temple fans, alumni and staff from watching Temple defeat Army 27-13. The crowd roared to the famous “T for Temple U” fight song that howled through the stands of the stadium. King and Queen Darryn Jarred Lee and Candace Moses smiled through the rain after their Homecoming victory. Yet again, I lomecoming remained an event that connects the Temple community.

Providing an outlet for Temple's many talented students, the Boyer College of Music and Dance and the Randall Theater continue to entertain and excite viewers year after year. The music program includes four choir variations which make up the University Chorale. Also, musical ensembles such as the Diamond Marching Band and the Symphony Orchestra are known for their magnificent performances at spoiling events and concerts. ‘Being a part of the Diamond Marching Band has been perhaps one of the best experiences I've had in college, said Alex Gonzalez. The Theater Department embarked on its 42nd year on campus. Performing such masterpieces as “Sweet Charity and “Shot!” the theater department amazed viewers and left them in awe. With such talent, it is clear that theatrical performers are taught by trained and knowledgeable experts. The Conwell Dance Theater hosts approximately fifteen performances open to the public throughout the year. In the fall. Kariamu Company’s “'Traditions that demonstrated Kariamu Welsh’s dance called Umfundalai (meaning essence in Kiswahili), was a cultural hit on campus. Students are also able to take classes in ballrcx m dancing, Latin dancing, and Indian dancing through Boyer College. Rcmi Dcvassy Student Life 21 (im i i am EVENTS Courtney Battle.

It is a rare occurrence when nothing exciting is going on at or around campus. Many events are organized by the Main Campus Program Board, Temple Student Government, and groups of ambitious, driven students for Temple's lively and energetic student body. Common events that grab students’ attention throughout the year including sporting events and information days. In fact, sporting events, such as basketball games, are a popular way for students to gel decked out in Cherry and White attire and cheer on their home team. Information sessions, including studying abroad fairs, the Marine Recruitment Program, and cancer awareness events engage students' minds and encourage them to explore new areas of interest and concern. It is very important to think about the gas and emissions that go into your food. It can take up to 30,000 miles to get a bag of Doritos made and transported to Philly. Even 'Philadelphia' Cream Cheese takes 778 miles to get from the factory in Illinois to Philly. Corinne Miller. Freshman Another large event this year included Campus Sustainability Day which stressed the importance of on-campus recycling and waste management. The Bell Tower was crowded with many interested students who flocked to tlie various tables that were set up. Remarking on the importance of going green , Eric Smith said, I think sustainability is an important issue today. It basically means trying to meet the needs of current society without compromising the needs of the future. We need to rethink the way we live from many aspects. Awareness is a key part of it. Another prominent event that occurred in the fall was the appearance of NBC's Today Show host Matt l.auer. who came to campus to speak at a charity event at the Joe First Media Center at the School of Communications and Theater. Lauer was honored for his influential work in the field of journalism with the Law Klein Excellence in the Media Award. Students also had the privilege to hear him speak during a symposium about careers in journalism and mass media. Okikiola AlliUalogun.

After dark, campus continues to thrive, proving that there are other options for students at night in addition to studying at the library and writing reports at the l ech Center. Campus at night is simply popping! You really have to try to be bored here. Walking around campus, one can see the tennis courts at the Student Pavilion filled with students until late into the night. “Going out to the courts and playing tennis on a Friday night is an ideal way for me to start the weekend!” said Shivani Sheth. In addition to tennis, other sporting events that go on at night include flag football and outdoor soccer games. Friday nights are also host to Free Food Fun Fridays at the Student Center, which lasts from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. The Student Center's game room is also a popular spot for students looking to unwind from the stress of a long day. Students can also be seen relaxing outside, performing music with friends or kicking around the hackev-sack long after the sun has went down. “Liacouras Walk really comes to life after dark because of innovative events and usual spots to hang OUt,” Said Joshua 1 Iouck.

Residence Hall Assistants help students ease into this transition by supporting individuals when they need to talk to someone. They also organize many social events to get students together and form a family like bond away from home. “It is my job to make sure the students in my wing are doing alright and being taken care of, said Resident Assistant Karen Bonnano. Students find it easier to meet new people and make new friends when they keep their room doors open as often as possible. Residence Hall communities become a center where students learn and play together, forming lasting friendships and equally special memories. Temple I university is also a major commuter campus, so the Temple experience would not be complete without hearing commuters perspectives of college life. Some students also choose to drive to campus, which can Ik more convenient than taking public transportation. However, driving can result in problems finding available and affordable parking spots on campus. “If you don’t come to campus early enough, you may-spend an extra half hour trying to find a place to park your car!” said Sherin Koshy. Though students have different methods of living and different ways of getting to campus, they all go through the daily hassles and joys that come with college Student Life 25 Photos by Roni Devassy •• •• .

Temple Center City is exciting with the constant hustle and bustle of the city. The Health and Science Campus houses a brand new building, and Ambler allows students to experience a more suburban lifestyle with the city close bv. In fall of 2008, Temple changed its required classes from Core to the new General Education, or GenEd, curriculum. In this curriculum, students forge connections between their classroom experiences and Philadelphia experiences. While Temple used to require classes such as Human Biology and Dimensions of Racism, we have now opened our eyes to see our city through the looking glass. We can experience a Race and Diversity course, such as Embodying Pluralism, where Ellen Gerdes, a professor with a forte in Chinese dance, teaches students to reflect on their learned knowledge of cultures and put it into dance. Aside from our new, intriguing courses in and around Philadelphia, Temple Rome and Japan offer lifechanging experiences for those interested in seeing the world. Studying abroad gives students the opportunity to encounter the beautiful sights from all over, like this view of Ireland to the left, taken by sophomore Bill Rennie while studying abroad. Additionally, the Career Center provides the knowledge and support needed to land an internship. Temple academics make it all possible, so where will you go?

Photo by Anna Pauj It is no mistake that the word diamond is associated with Temple University. Diamond Street, the Diamond Gems, and Diamond Dollars are only a few of the references made to this precious stone around campus. This glitzy association testifies to the fact that Temple is the diamond of North Philadelphia. What makes Temple so special? What makes this institution so glamorous and unique? “We get Chinese food from behind bulletproof glass,” a student states in response to these questions. Food trucks present every ethnic food possible, and it's the lx st food on campus!” another student exclaims. “E-mails are sent to students asking us to act responsibly when the Phillies win! Go Phils!” says yet another enthusiastic Owl. These are only a few of the phrases that Temple students on main campus use to describe TU. The unique world of Temple, which is centered around Broad Street, is the nest for over 20,000 Owls. Additionally, students have the opportunity to 'fly' down to Center City Philadelphia, which is slightly over a mile away. With an immensely diverse population, many students have found main campus at Temple to l e a great place to live, work, and thrive during their college years. While not a traditional college campus, TU has proven its diamond-like qualities just as its founder, Russell H. Conwell, knew it would.

The stylish new building is not just for art students though. Tyler students share the modern design with Temple's music students. Music and art have always gone together,” said transfer vocal performace major Katie Caskey. “Why shouldn't they be together now?” The two are directly next to the School of Communications and Theater, along Norris and 13th Streets. “Although it was nice to have our own little community at Elkins Park, 1 enjoy being at main campus because it is closer to the city and the rest of the schools,” shares sophomore Tyler student Samantha Varian. “Despite being on Main Campus, my favorite place is still the Tyler building. Simply relaxing outside on our grass is the best! The Tyler School of Art HAS MANY GREEN SPACES.

The rush and excitement of the surrounding city provides an energetic atmosphere for learning. Students sitting in a classroom or at the computer lab look out the windows toward the city and see an inspiring visual. The lounges on each floor provide ample spots to relax and the outside benches are excellent for studying or munching on a classic Philly cheesesteak. The campus is also home to the Journalism Department’s Multimedia Urban Reporting Lab capstone program. Students meet once a week to compile real media stories about various areas of Philadelphia. During the week, they venture out into the city to conduct interviews, investigate story ideas and ultimately produce those stories. TUCC is a multifaceted campus that is ideal for an enriching educational and cultural experience in the middle of one of the greatest metropolitan areas in the country.

Nestled in the heart of suburban Philadelphia, it reflects the green spaces that surround it and the leading university it is a part of. Known for its renowned programs in landscape architecture and horticulture, the campus is a live display of students' work. The Healing Garden, Greenroof. and Formal Gardens are maintained almost daily by the students and faculty in the horticultural programs. However, gardening and garden design are not the only career choices offered at Ambler. Many other courses are offered as well. Students can also select from a wide variety of organizations to get involved in such as Student Government, Gamers Anonymous, the student-run radio station, WRIT, as well as the Criminal Justice Society or The Temple Column. The serene campus is easily accessible by taking the campus shuttle or the short train ride to downtown Ambler. Student life flourishes as individuals in the residence halls interact with commuters. Combined with the easy commute to nearby Philadelphia and the excitement of downtown Ambler, Temple University Ambler has a spirited blend of social and academic benefits to offer any Temple student.

They are so willing to perfect their craft that they practically never leave their school. We live here,” laughs Ryan Calvin, a third year dental student. “That is our bed.” adds Christen Massaro, a fellow third year student, as she points to a couch in the lobby of the Kornberg School of Dentistry. “That’s our dining table,” referring to a table next to the couch, “and that’s our kitchen,” she says, gesturing to the Dunkin Donuts across the street. Most students at the Health Sciences campus would agree that they came to Temple because they wanted to spend every waking moment working and learning. “To get an A in clinical you have to extract 125 teeth.” says Massaro. “At other schools it's less. We want to work. I want to be confident in what I'm doing.” The same applies to Temple’s medical students. With the grand opening of the new Medical Education and Research Building, students are able to study in a state-of-the-art center.

' • Burns Over the time, that I have been abroad, I have gotten lost more times than I can count, made lifetime friends, traveled to places I could only imagine when I was young and longed for a school cafeteria more than Fd like to admit. Since nly acceptance to the program. I have been asked a question multiple times: why did 1 want to go? And it isn't an easy answer. However, it is a chance to explore, learn and make my world a little bigger. Unfortunately, that answer seemed to evade me until I actually had to leave. Before then, it was just another adventure. Studying abroad is really the chance of a lifetime and it is more than just filling a passport. It is a chance to stand out. It is one of those final moments in college when you can leave even thing behind and start fresh... even if it is just y for a semester. It look me until the first half of my senior year to decide that I should embrace the opportunity to study abroad in Spain. As the time neared to leave I grew nervous. Would this interrupt my studies at home? Should I lx- l x)king for jobs instead? What about subletting my apartment? However, when the time came to leave, my excitement outweighed these concerns and as I spent more and more time abroad, my misgivings quickly faded away. Since coming to Spain I have experienced more than I ever could have imagined. From biking in the mountains surrounding Granada. Spain, to a 10 day trip through Paris, Amsterdam and •Brussels, to making friends with the Spanish owner of a tea shop. I know that I will harlx r lifelong memories of this time. 34 | Academics Posing for the camera, Meagan David stands IN FRONT OF THE FAMOUS NOTRE DAME Cathedral.

In my junior year at Temple, I knew that I was on the cusp of graduating, but a measly six credits were preventing me from walking during graduation in May 2010. T hen. I heard about the Temple Dublin summer program, during which I'd get to spend four glorious weeks in a land of lush, green rolling hills. Before I knew it. I was Hying across the Atlantic with my boyfriend and I was living and breathing Irish culture. Two wonderful teachers helped to immerse us in the city. What I fell in love with most was the countryside, despite living in the city of Dublin. I could never describe the scenery that simply engulfs your senses. A genuinely surreal experience was seeing Newgrangc, a temple that is more dated than the Egyptian pyramids. I loved the nights spent in Ireland: they were filled with wonderful music, dancing and amazing locals who took us to phenomenal places for drinks and a great time. I felt more like a temporary citizen rather than a tourist because of the Temple classes. To this day. every time I sere a movie that shows bits of Ireland, my heart swells, longing for my home away from home. From Left to Right: Alex Levin's view of the shore in Spain.

Many of these bright students were accepted into Temple's Honors program, with 345 out of the 4.100 freshmen joining the program. Honors students are required to take six lower-level Honors courses, as well as four upper-level courses. An advantageous program, students are allowed 'graduate” level privileges in the library. Honors students also enjoy the luxury of capped class sizes at 25 students and specialized I lonors advising. One of the most unique and enjoyable aspects of the program is the opportunity to live in the Honors Living-Learning Community, located in 1300. “I really just think it's a lot of fun living in the same building as all of your classmates,” freshman Nhi I ran commented. It’s easy to get help when you need it with homework, and even easier to hang out with all of your friends.” The 1 lonors Activities Board also provides an entertaining outlet for the Honors students, throwing such events as pumpkin decorating and a murder mystery dinner. From Oreo-stacking competitions to Phillies games, the Honors I.LC always has something for its residents to do. With a large smile emanating from her Honors dorm room Nhi comments enthusiastically, “I think that if 1 weren't accepted into Temple Honors, I wouldn't have come to Temple.

It helps me keep ahead in the class. comments Anna Berezowska. a senior journalism and history major. I'm usually at the library taking down notes from the books. Yearly every nook and cranny of Temple's campus can be used as a study spot. From the obvious places like Paley Library, the Howard Gittis Student Center, the Tech Center and the Tuttleman Computer Lab, students can also be found in places like the Anderson Hall Computer l.ab, various lounges in both the .Student Center and Tuttleman. as well as at the lawn by the Bell Tower on a nice day. Between classes on the weekdays, students line up to use the computers in the various computer labs across campus in order to catch up on homework or print out papers for class. F.very student finds his or her own perfect place to study and learn. Finding these quiet study moments is critical in even- students life, for it is the time when they can fully focus on their subject of study and take a break from the hectic stresses of the day.

Photo by Gina Swindler I know it's Friday the 13th. but you guys are really acting like zombies! Professor Steven Pustav quips to his 8 a.m. Death and Dying class. Pustay chooses to teach the class from a world religions perspective. 1 le firmly believes there is a universality to death and works hard to grab the interest of his students by showing them that they are all connected in some way. The large variety of academics offered at Temple helps students narrow their interests and better understand themselves. Classes like Death and Dying offer an introspective, philosophical spin on learning, while classes like Aikido provide more of a physical and spiritual learning experience. Describing his Aikido class, junior Agin Thomas explained. “It's not about conflict, it's about using the other person's energy. Aikido is built upon 'key energy'.” The class is unique in that it focuses on working together rather than fighting one person against another. Sensei Yukio Utada, who teaches the class, founded the Aikido Association of North America and opened The Doshinkan Dojo, the first Aikido school in Philadelphia. No matter the major, classes are not limited to the classroom. Professors are always brainstorming ways to get students out and learning in a hands-on fashion. In Hie Nature of Crime, professor Sharon Ostrow sends groups out of the classroom to observe and document crime risk on Temple's campus and in the surrounding area. Graduate Professor Sarah Palmer's class, Prop Craft, teaches students how to creatively make a set and props for a theater production. We have to find, buy, and make props, sophomore Alex Bjornsson said. “My favorite was when we made fake cotton candy and ice cream!” From contemplating death to spiritual kinesiology to creating props for a theater production, Temple offers a wide range of classes taught by professors with all types of experiences.

Meg Frankowski is an example of a Temple student who took advantage of one of Temple’s local internship opportunities. I ler internship gave her the opportunity to have “hands-on” experience in the world of journalism by allowing her to work closely with real journalists at the Philadelphia Daily News. This experience was inspiring and gave me insight into the job market that I will have to deal with after graduation. said Meg.

Amy Fuhrmeister, ENJOYED THE VIEW OF Honolulu, Hawaii, WHERE HER INTERNSHIP TOOK place. Photo by Amy Fuhrmeister Tlie highlight of her time at the Philadelphia Daily News was the opportunity she received to actually write a news piece for the paper. This gave her the chance to immerse herself in the field and interview people, as well as having the opportunity to get her article published. Ultimately, she was able to do the work of a freelance writer before receiving a college degree. The internship opportunities available to Temple students are not limited to the area around Philadelphia. There are an abundance of internships that students can pursue that allow them to work in another city during a break period or even an entire semester. Students’ opportunities are only limited by their imaginations. Amy Fuhrmeister had already interned in Philadelphia and dreamed of something different that might involve travel, beaches and fun. She was able to find all of this in one place when she went to Hawaii to intern for the Public Relations Department of the Manoa Valley Theatre Company on the small, yet densely populated, island of Oahu. This experience was perfect for her ixicause she was able to become familiar with a new place without being a tourist, while simultaneously gaining invaluable work experience.

From Greek life to fashion and culture, there is a place for students to express who they are, what they believe and where they stand during their time spent at Temple. There are nine various groups types of organizations and within those categories: Academic and Honorary, Cultural International, Arts Entertainment. Governance and Political Advocacy, Media Publication, Recreation Leisure and Service. All of these groups are completely student run, non-profit organizations that offer opportunities for leadership, friendship and development. Students are encouraged to add to the already flourishing list of organizations. If students ever feel that an interest or activity is not represented, they are able to create their own club or organization. Taking part in a student organization is about taking initiative, enriching one's own experience and sharing a passion. Those involved with student organizations at Temple take advantage of the opportunity to advance personal and social development as individuals. Students make their actions matter by seeking out meaningful activities, but also through careful self-reflection. Ultimately, student organizations let students develop into the person they wish to reflect through the looking glass.

They build the book from beginning to end. The main goal of the organization is to capture the year at Temple and compile it into a lxx k that students and faculty can take with them wherever they go. Each section of the yearbook has two section editors that take responsibility for ensuring that the writers photographers have their work done correctly and in a timely manner. These editors apply the previous year and go through an interview process before being chosen. The creation of the lx ok begins with assigning writers and photographers to certain events to gather infonnation and photographs for the pages. Then, once all the content is placed on the pages, and the layout is perfected, the editing process l ogins. The staff consists of 21 members, so each has the opportunity to leave a large mark on the book by becoming very involved in the creation process. Ediior-in-Chief Jared Vanderzell and Assistant Editor Leah Stoner are two of the most dedicated members on the staff; they both work very hard to ensure that the group maintains a level of professionalism that is needed for the book to be a success.

The team was very' pleased in their win against Navy, whom Temple head coach Steve Mauro considers a “very strong opponent.” Sophomore Mansur Gishkaev considered this win to lx. of high importance because it was the team’s first win against Navy in a long time. Gishkaev partnered with Dmitry Vizhunov to defeat Owen Bullard and Eddie Konrad 8-6. Matt King, Filip Rams and freshman Kacper Rams, a new member to the team and brother to Filip, also pulled through for the team beating out opponents in the singles matches. The team also had a successful win against Duquesne in early September, again at the Navy Invitational, when Kacper Rams again proved to the team that he was talented. He and Filip Rams teamed up to defeat opponents in an 8-3 battle. “We have been very happy with the way (Kacperl has been playing,” said Coach Mauro. The brothers recently lost a very close doubles match with the University of Virginia, the numlx?r four team in the country. The team put up a tough battle against Marist College at the tournament winning one of three doubles matches, and two of six singles. Gishkaev credited good fitness preparation for his ability to outrun his opponent and in the end win his match. Coach Mauro expects his three returning sophomores, Mansur Gishkaev, Filip Rams, and Dmitry' Vizhunov, to be major contributors to the team come January, when the traditional season begins. “There is a great connection between players within the team as well as a connection between all the players and the coaches,” said Rams.

The Temple Lacrosse team entered the 2010 season longing to gain redemption for their 4-12 overall record in 2009, a stark contrast to their impressive 2008 season. The team started the 2009 season with ten consecutive losses, but fought hard throughout the entire campaign. The team ended the 2009 season with a 15-5 victory over city rival LaSalle and was looking to ride that wave of momentum into the 2010 season. The Temple lacrosse team is coached by Bonnie Rosen, who in her second year leading the Owls in 2008, led the team to the Atlantic 10 title and a NCAA tournament appearance, and assistant coach Nicole Moore. The Owls once again look to return to that level under Rosen’s leaderships. The Owls are led by four seniors. Midfielder Chelsea Rosiek, Goalkeeper Jessica Colucci, Defenseman Tracy Zimmer, and Midfielder Lindsey Colferai. These four Owls, along with their teammates, will lead the task of trying to get the Cherry and White back on track. The team’s 4-12 record during the 2009 season will without a doubt fuel the Owls 2010 effort and will strengthen their quest to return back to the top of The Atlantic 10.

Strong and dedicated coaching coupled with talented and willing golfers has provided Temple with a golf team capable of being a force to reckon with on the course. Temple’s golf team is lead by Coach Brian Quinn. Quinn was a four year letter winner at Temple University from 1987 to 1990. Quinn has also played professional golf on a number of professional tours and is director of instruction at the BQ Golf Academy in Conshohocken, PA. Last season under Quinn's tutelage, the Cherry and White captured the Big Five Title by a single stroke and look to once again return to that winning form. The Owls are led by senior Eric Plisko who earned a spot on the PING All-Northeast Regional Team in the spring of 2009 due to his strong performance. Plisko’s scoring average has dropped every year that he has teed it up for the Cherry and White. Although the fall 2009 campaign was characterized by a 13th place finish at the Big 5 invitational the Owls will not hang their lieads. The team will look to return to the top of the Big 5 down the road.

The Owls finished the 2008-2009 season with an 8th place finish among women’s teams at the 2009 NCAA National Championships and a top ten ranking throughout the year. “With the addition of a couple of new faces and the return of a strong core, this team is looking for great things” said the team’s Assistant Coach Bradley Baker. The Owl’s personal goal for 2009-2010 season is to attain a top 5 national ranking. The Temple Fencing team is led by team Captain Kristen Howell and weapon Captains, junior Audrey Barroso (sabre) and senior Melissa Parker (foil). The 2009-2010 campaign got underway with the 30th annual Temple Open. Sophomore Alyssa Lumusio and senior Melissa Parker placed 1st and 2nd respectively in the foil while senior Kristen Howell and junior Grace Wu tied for third in epee. Sophomore Kamali Thompson placed 3rd in the sabre. The strong start to the season was a great sign for the Temple Fencing team and illustrated the passion that the team had to continue their impressive play. The tight-knit group is very confident that their overall ability and hard work lead them to reproduce and hopefully better their impressive 2008-2009 season again for years to come.

Although the team's effort is not evident through its record, it was absolutely evident through its play. “The best example of what our team is capable of doing was evident is our game vs. Duquesne. We had lost 4 games in a row by the exact score of 1-2 and had decided before this game we were not going to lose by that score again. We went down 0-2 early in the game and then came back to win in the last five minutes 3-2. We showed resilience and determination that will carry forward.” said Head Coach David Jones. Hopefully those Owls will cany forward those attributes which allowed the team to conclude the season with two consecutive 1-0 victories accompanied by game winning goals by freshman forward Kate Yurkovic and sophomore midfielder Tiia Kuokka. The team will return in full force in 2010, but Coach Jones admits that they will be at a loss without senior defenseman Carly iMetzger. “The biggest leader this year was Carly Metzger, our only senior. She leads by example on the field with passion and energy. As one of the smaller players she never shies away from a tackle or challenge. Off the field she is always doing the little things to bring the team and our players together; whether it is buying a birthday cake or making a sign to put on doors the first away trip. She will be hard to replace and we’ll miss her!” said Jones. The Owls will look to fly high and once again return to prominence with their young returning Core in 2010.

However, a blizzard engulfed the Philadelphia region on the week of February 8, and the tent that housed four boats on Boathouse Row collapsed. Setting the team back for the spring, they hope to train indoors until they can get back in the water. CBS3 estimated the damage caused by the collapse at $175,000. The Lady Owls were competing well in the fall season up until that point. At the Braxron Memorial Regatta, they won three races and placed second in two races overall. The Varsity 4A and 415 boats won each of their races, triumphing over competitors such as UMBC, Philadelphia University, Binghamton and Stony Brook. At the Frostbite Regatta in Camden, NJ, the Owls turned in promising second-place finishes. Regarding the Frostbite Regatta, Coach Tim Hagan commented to owlsports.com, It was a good showing today. I was very pleased with our performance. Both the V8 and JV8 had very strong rows and hung close to the leaders, but just couldn't find a way to get through them at the end of the races. The Owls look to pick up their season again in March at the Keuper Cup in Melbourne, Florida and culminate their season in May with the prestigious Dad Vail Regatta on the banks of the Schuylkill.

The Owls have become world renowned under White's leadership, having been invited to Great Britain's Royal Henley Regatta on seven different occasions from 1983 to 1994. White has an extensive resume which includes winning excellence for Temple in the Dad Vail Regatta and an Olympic coaching appearance during the 2000 Sydney games. The Temple University Men’s Crew program took to the water in search of a successful 2009-2010 season. The team returned a number of their top rowers from the year before. The Owls opened up the 2009 fall season on the Schuylkill River at the Navy Day Regatta on October 10, 2009. James Barr, Scott Waters, Jason Cartwright, Nenad Ninkovic, Patrick Curran, Brendan Cunningham, Thomas Masterson, John Masterson and Don Norris made up the Varsity 8 on that day and finished in fourth place behind Navy, Penn and Drexel. Also that day, the Junior Varsity 8 finished third while the Collegiate 4+ finished in 10th place. The exhibition was a strong showing for Temple's team. The Owls built on their strong showing a few weeks later at the Schuylkill Regatta where the Frosh 4+, comprised of rowers Rob Nave, Mike Marinella, Kevin Nally, Majiec Grudzien and Rich Khmer, won gold by over 40 seconds. Following the Owls strong performance at the Princeton Chase, it was clear that the Owls were one of the region’s top crew programs. Temple continued to prove this on November 14th when they competed in the Frostbite Regatta held on the Cooper River in Camden, NJ. White was honored with the 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award at the 17th Annual Joy of Sculling Conference. Clearly, this is a testament to the excellent program he has built at Temple.

Although the Owls did not bring home the title, it does not diminish their fantastic season. They had a stellar conference record at 4-2 which included wins over the eventual A-10 champs, the Richmond Spiders, and over the previous year’s champs, Massachusetts. That game culminated with a game-winning goal by senior Kate Stewart, the first goal of her career. When asked about the game, head coach Amanda Janney said, “That win was in the making since last year, as we lost to UMass the year before in triple overtime.” Temple was a led by a strong senior core that took Temple all the way to the A-10 title game. When asked about their leadership, Coach Janney stated, “Each of the 6 seniors played a significant part to different wins throughout the year. Charise Young and the twins, Kasey and Mandi [Ruth], were the team's offensive threats. Seniors Kate Stewart, Kristen Wanner and Kimmi Hanshue were the work horses in our backfield. Each of the 6 dedicated themselves to our team and gave their full commitment to our program each and every day.” 102 Sports Freshman Arialle Hess looks to receive a pass from her teammates. Senior Kate Stewart powers the bau oown the field toward the goal. An extremely talented returning player for next season is sophomore Bridget Settles. Settles was a dominant scoring threat this past season and when asked about Settles' future, Janney stated, “Bridget is a killer forward and she is still developing her skills and her potential. She has great creativity to score in a variety of ways. I am glad that she had a breakthrough scoring season as a sophomore and I know that she will continue to improve and set up game winning goals when we need them.” There is no doubt that with a strong returning group and great leadership from the coach, the 2010 team has the potential to achieve their ultimate goal, which is to win it all.

The team traveled to Maryland in late fall to make their first appearance as competitors in the NCAA Regional Championships. Junior Rebecca Mims led the team during their debut. Her fellow teammates, freshman Diedre MacFarland and sophomore Eva Sepulveda, helped lead the team to their 24th place finish. Coach Eric Mobley commented on the victory by saying, “The results today [at the championships] were huge for our program.” The 2010 season looks equally promising for Temple.

When asked about how it feels to coach Temple’s most successful team in 30 years, Coach Golden remarked, “It feels like we are making progress, but that’s all. We didn’t come here to have one winning season. I’m afraid many on the outside think we have arrived. That mindset is fool’s gold. We have a long way to go, on and off the Field, to build the type of infrastructure congruent with winning organizations. Numerous teams can have a successful season, yet it requires many years of successful seasons to build a strong program.

Head Coach Megan Teesdale says the things that the team most looks forward to throughout the season are “supporting the teams at Temple University and competing against St. Joes! Becky Kcmer 0 116 Sports Cheerleaders The cheerleading team at Temple University plays an enormous role in generating spirit at TU. Between games and practices, their season runs from all year long. This year, the team has 35 members, two Head Coaches, Matt Echevarria and Emily Burster, and Assistant Coach Nicole Moore. During the 2009-2010 season, the team cheered at various games, including those against Army and Navy, and also went to the EagleBank Bowl game in Washington. D.C. In addition to preparing for and attending Temple athletic games, the team is also involved with many community events. This season, they have volunteered at the walk for the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania and the Temple breast cancer game. Head coach Matt Echevarria says that the program has grown tremendously over the last few years, adding that “This year’s team is extremely talented and each member contributes to the program in some way.” Recently, the team has enjoyed establishing annual traditions. For the past two years, the cheerleaders have been attending a local camp at the start of the season, which acts as one of the team's first bonding experiences and gives them a chance to gauge how they work together. Co-1 lead Coach Matt Echevarria says, “The character and diversity of the program and each cheerleader is the greatest part of this team. It’s always an interesting day at cheerleading practice or wherever we go, and it’s always a brand new learning experience.” Becky Kemer Sports 117 Diamond Band Members of the Diamond Band linc ■ ■ : 'v i — The Diamond Band prepares to begin another one of their electrifying halftime PERFORMANCES. The Diamond Marching Band consists of students from all areas of Temple, from novice freshmen to the elder seniors. Although the Diamond Band has quite frequently made its way up and down Broad .Street, the group also traveled outside the city this year. Their talent traveled down to Annapolis, Maryland when the Temple football team competed against the Midshipmen of Navy. Another patriotic trip was in store for the band as the football team was selected to play against UCLA in the EagleBank bowl game, held in Washington D.C. Temple pride can be shown throughout the entire campus on any given day and during any given season. However, Temple's marching band displays arguably the most school pride. Under the direction of Dr. Matthew Brunner, the bands consistently take on the job of motivating the spirited culture of Temple University. Whether at Lincoln Financial Field or at the Liacourous Center, football and basketball fans alike can enjoy captivating sports entertainment at Owl sporting events, as well as experience the musical excitement that the bands provide. FIELD. 'fhe pride of the Cherry and White has become a tradition whose end is nowhere in sight.

If one of these were to exist without the other, a very important half would be missing • an irreplaceable half that helps to comprise the whole. Temple University’s faculty aides students in numerous ways, both on a local and national level. Staff members such as Michael Boufadel, Professor and Department Chairman of Civil Engineering, helped inform engineering students all over the nation when his study of the biodegradation of oil concentrations was published in National Geoscience in January of 2010. Another outstanding faculty member includes Physics Professor C.J. Martoff who is to be included on a mission into outer space with a NASA crew in an effort to study the polarization of x-rays from black holes. As part of NASA's Small Explorer Program, the mission will occur sometime between 2012 and 2015. Even past leaders in the Temple community are praised for their contributions to the community. Polett Walk, formally known as Berks Mall, was renamed in January to honor longtime member and former chairman of the board, Daniel Polett. He was awarded both the Acres of Diamonds Award and the Russell Conwell Award for his involvement with the governing bodies of Temple. Temple’s faculty, whether through trips to space or studies on biodegradation, continue to make the university a thriving school. Without the perfect duo of faculty and students, there would not only lx no future for the students at Temple, but no future for Temple as a university. The faculty is the cherry to the white in an institution that continues to grow with each passing day. Emily Briggs Faculty | 121 SENIOR VICf PROVOST | DEAN OF STUDFN1S DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DAVID ADAM ANY BILLBRADSHAW BETSYLEEBRON TUTELMAN WILLIAMBERGMAN VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS SENIOR VICE PROVOST FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES ANNWEAVER HART FROM THE PRESIDENT What originally drew you to Temple, the university plopped right in the middle of North Philadelphia? My decision to come to Temple was reached in large part Ixxause I believe in Temple’s long honored pledge to provide access and opportunity to dedicated students who wish to build a better life. My own life is an example of the impact that access to a great research university can have. I. too, set out to create something more from the gifts and opportunities bestowed on me. However, if I had not had access to a great urban public research university in my home city, University of Utah in Salt Like City in my case, where I earned my bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees while raising our four daughters with my husband Handy, I would not be where 1 am today. 1 value Temple’s role in Philadelphia and the region. I believe in the University’s tradition of access and excellence, and in maintaining Temple’s momentum as we continue our push to lx; a leader among national urban research universities. How docs it feel to be the first female president? 1 am keenly aware that in the news release announcing my appointment as Temple’s new president back in 2006 and in every news stop.' that followed, and almost every time someone introduces me at an event. 1 am referred to as “the first female president” of Temple University. I certainly did not set out to lx; the 'first female” to do anything. 1 set out to have a fulfilling life, to follow my passion, to do meaningful things, big and small, in my professional life and in my personal life. That has not always been easy, and it has required balancing priorities and making tough choices, but so far it has worked out for me. I also do not think that my personal and professional goals are particularly unique. Leaders that 1 admire, lx th men and women, seem to have had similar desires for meaning, fulfillment and to do something they are passionate about. This spring, your first freshman class will be graduating; how does that make you feel? 1 suppose I feel a little like the seniors in wondering where the time went. It seemed to go by so quickly! I am so proud to see how much the Class of 2010 has achieved and how each member of the class has taken advantages of the many opportunities Temple offered them. I am even more gratified by what they have given back to the Temple community in their leadership, service and spirit and how they leave Temple a stronger, more energized institution. In this way, our graduating students are following in the footsteps of every class l efore them. I invite them to continue to lx: as involved and committed to Temple as alumni, and I look forward to working with them for many years to come. 122 Faculty As we l(K)k to the future, we know that we have many other pressing needs to improve our infrastructure and campus. This year we demolished the University Services Building at Broad and Oxford streets. In its place, we plan to construct a student residential complex. In addition to providing a much-needed southern gateway to the Temple campus, the facility will include retail, dining and entertainment amenities for the campus and surrounding community. We also l egan work on important renovations to the Pearson-McGonigle complex. When complete, this work will create exceptional new opportunities for student recreation. These projects constitute the first steps in the ambitious Temple 20 20 plan, a comprehensive framework for the development of our Main Campus over the next several years. Temple 20 20 is designed to ensure that Temple provides its students and faculty with the resources and facilities of a 21st century learning environment that supports academic, research and expanded programming to engage our local community. The plan envisions new and refurbished buildings along the Broad Street corridor and in the heart of campus, and will establish Temple as a premier destination for academics, research activity, commerce and cultural events. While several of the projects included in the Temple 20 20 plan will be completed after current students have graduated, as alumni they will reap the benefits that these facilities will bring to Temple's growing reputation long after they have earned their degrees. Do you think most students enjoy coming to Temple? I am always impressed by the excitement and enthusiasm that Temple students express to me. beginning on Move-In Day and extending even Ixryond their graduation when they Ixxome alumni. I think it is the vast array of opportunities our large institution offers, as well as the many benefits of being in Philadelphia. What seems to make the greatest impact is the relationships students develop with one another and the rewarding times they share in studying and working together, supporting our sports teams, engaging in community service, traveling abroad, and just spending time with other students from across the state and from around the nation and the world. These are the most memorable things about college life that Temple alumni treasure throughout their lives. What do you think about the Temple Football team going to the Bowl this year? Did you ever imagine it when you started? I am delighted that the team's hard work resulted in an outstanding season and Temple’s first bowl appearance in 30 years. Shortly afterward, our men's basketball team surged into the national rankings with strong play and key wins against conference and nonconference rivals. We can lx very proud of all the young men and women who represent Temple in athletic competition in the many sport programs we support. It takes a great deal of talent and even more commitment to practice to compete in intercollegiate athletics, especially while Ivalancing a demanding academic schedule.

Looking back on my years here at school, I never expected to learn so much about myself. Being outgoing and connecting with people who share the same interests as me has been an invaluable tool for discovering who I am as a person. In fact, being outgoing and exploring my life led to my most memorable experience - studying abroad in Rome. It was an amazing time and I wish I was back in that city every day. The most important lesson from school came from my time there as well: time seems to go by faster every day. so make the most of life while you still can. Four years ago, could you have guessed you would be doing what you are now? Four years ago I started college as an international business and marketing major and now am in the School of Communications.

What is the most important lesson that you have learned about yourself? learned that no matter where you go to college, across the board we are all learning the same things. When I reconnected with friends from home who were at Ivy League colleges. I realized we were learning the same concepts and information in our respective classes. I learned that no matter which college you attend, if you work hard to learn the material and build good relationships with your professors, you are just as smart and competitive as the next college student.

How important networking is! I mean. I knew about networking coming into Temple, but I always thought it was a buzzword. Also, I don't think I was confident enough then to just introduce myself to people the way I can now; but in the past year, networking has really become a way of life for me. I was first introduced to someone from Towers Watson (where I will be v orking after I graduate) at a luncheon and talked to her for the entire forty-some minutes that we were there, not knowing that she was a recruiter for the company. In the beginning of my career at Temple. I would have never thought that something as important as a job offer could come out of striking up a conversation. What has been your most memorable experience during your time here at Temple? There are a few. Definitely when the Phils won the World Series in 2008 and they clinched the NL in 2009.1 have never seen such parties as those that took place on the streets of Philadelphia those nights. Another great one was the International Management Conference my student professional organization, Gamma lota Sigma, hosted here at Temple. It was a weekend in October of 2009 and it was incredible to meet people from all over the country and even Canada and also to get closer to my fellow Gamma officers. Finally, the crazy snowfalls of the winter of 2010 and the snow fights with my roommates that ensued were definitely memorable. I think I was more excited for those two snow days than I had ever been for one in high school! Where was your favorite place to go on campus or around Philly? In Philly. definitely Kelly Drive. I am a runner and the Art Museum loop is one of my favorite running spots. My friend, Amanda, and I can be found running those 8.9 miles no matter the weather, and it is always a great time. Running has a way of clearing my mind of the stresses of school and work and there is no better place to run in the city than along the river. As for my favorite place on campus. I would probably say the “se ret garden next to the Diamond Club and behind 7-11. It was always so much fun to go there with my friends on early spring days.

I love to do my work outside if it's nice enough, especially on Beury Beach. ■■■! mn i— ■■ Jonathan Lcshncr Kate Lester Alex Levin Charlotte Levins Elizabeth Lcvison Ailma Lewis Otis Lewis Tracy Lewis Hong Li Lily Li Yang Liang Zhijun Liao Rosina Licciardcllo Victoria Licb Wesley Light Joshua Liken Ekaterina Likhtcrova Angie Lim 148 Seniors I Fan-Yun Lin Hong Lin Yu-Hsuan Lin Jill Lingenfeltcr Eric Lion Dana Liss Vcnricc Little Dcirdrc Littlejohn Jamclla Littlejohn Brown Tassika Lloyd Katherine Lock John-Paul Loggia Linda Loi Stephanie Loiero Scan London lmari Long Kimberly Longmore Yael Lorant Jeffrey Lorber Angeline Louis Josue Louis Pashay Love Bettic Lowery Monique Lowery Ann Lowrey Donita Loza da Joseph Lukas Ingrid Luna Hung Luu Jenny Ly Courtney Lynn Winnie Ma Tayshawn Mabry Megan Macarcno Laura Maccnka William Mackenzie Bryant Maddrick Kcllyann Maguire Devon Maiorano Barbara Maj Krysha Mallari Marie-Renee Malvoisin Chclsey Mancuso Matthew Manes Danielle Mangalili Marianne Mangalili Caitlyn Manley Kathleen Manning Seniors 149 Marina Manojlovich William Marehio Madeline Marchionc Victoria Marcinek Bianca Marino David Marino Priscilla Mark Andrea Marr Lindsey Marsh Andrew Marshall Melissa Marsili Melanie Maitin Keith Martinez Dominick Martino Gregory Martoccio Shanila Masih Felicia Mason Andrew Massi Reeba Mathew David Mathewson Kevin Matuszak Danielle Mauro Stcfany Mazor Zach McAleese Shaun McCans Kellianne McCarthy Patrick McCloskey Jason McCuc Brian McCulla Jule McDaniel Kelly Ann McDermott Catelyn McDonough Karen McDougal Trcnac McDuffie Vanessa McElwec Bradley McFadden Jasmine McFarlane-Whitc Patrick McGee Krystal McGinnis Kara McGrath Kayla McKccver Shancka McKellar James McKenna Kristin McKeon Kenyatta McKinney Andrea McLaughlin Joseph McLaughlin Mary McLean 150 Seniors Christopher McPherson Lauren McPherson Brittney McRae Brandon McRae-Padmorc Joli McTerreil Telesha McWellington Tclshon McWellington Janet McWilliams Jianyong Mei Maria Mejia Dev Mcley Nabila Menadli Marcus Mendenhall Steffanic Mendez Lisa Mendys Melanie Menkevich Marian Menow Michael Mercer Niva Mcrlino Jonathan Metz Jcaninc Meyers Ashwati Mhatrc Jacob Michel Lucas Michelcn Tara Mickey Adin Mickle Melanie Middleton Julia Miles Nicole Miller Taqiya Miller Tara Miller Ciocia Millis Michael Miloradovich Jessica Milton Kyle Mimms Meghan Minchan Makcila Ming James Minger Miatta Mingle Ourania Mingos Shamano Minhas Antoinette Minor Jesse Minsky I-aura Modafferi Nikita Modi Adam Moffitt Josianc Moisc Nicole Molino Seniors 151 Jessica Moll Abbey Mondshein James Mongeluzo Logan Monighan Marisa Montague Donnaye Moore Douglas Moore Kelli Moore Lauren Moore Kate Morctti Clifford Morgan Kevin Morgan Seth Morgan Andrea Morris Christian Morris Ollic Morris William Morris Nyia Morrison Megan Morrow Samah Morsy Emily Morton Sonya Morton Candace Moses Kelly Mosley Keith Moye Shannon Moyer Serg Moyscyenko Christopher Muc Covington Muir Loriann Mullen Amanda Mulvey Javier Muniz Esteban Munoz Timothy Murray Eva Must Lauren Musumeci Anthony Myers Michael Myslinski Leah Nacarella Shaista Naim Abiba Namen Noubissie Tanisha Naphier Laura Napolitano Adrienne Nardella Danielle Nardi Joshua Nasc Afroza Nasrin Sameer Navi 152 Seniors • • INFO • • Hamburg, NJ Women's Studies What is the most important lesson you have learned about yourself?

Still in school getting my PhD and still with my partner who I've been with for three years, and happy. on a rty Four years ago, could you have guessed you would be doing what you are now? I No. Four years ago I was failing out of college, so I went to community college and got straight A's. I learned the only way for me to leave was through getting an education. I always wanted one but felt like I never had the tools to get one. Did you hold any leadership positions at Temple? I'm a coordinator for the Women's Major and Minor Association and the student liaison for the women's studies program as well as president of the Queer Student Union. My involvement with women’s studies gave me a sense that I was at home with the academic work that I do. The wisdom I've gathered from exploring my own and other people s lives is with me all the time. I never leave it at the door.

Being uncomfortable in an unfamiliar place or with unfamiliar people is one of the most beneficial experiences. If you're surrounded by like-minded people who rarely challenge you. it can be hazardous to your intellectual, emotional, and spiritual grov th. At Temple. I've learned so much about my abilities and potential from situations that were initially uncomfortable. I excelled in classes I never thought I would succeed in. I stretched my boundaries. Four years ago, could you have guessed you would be doing what you are now? be completely honest, it was my childhood and teenage dream to go to Temple University. In fact. I only applied to Temple, so one can imagine the thrill of my acceptance letter four years ago. I always envisioned myself as a Temple graduate and I've accomplished that goal. Now I'm off to bigger things. Reflecting on your years at Temple, what is one thing you did not expect to learn? II expected to be tested in the classroom, but I was just as challenged outside of it. I’ve met people from all over America and the world that have contrasting cultures and values. Gaining a better understanding of other's beliefs has helped me challenge my own. and in the end. only strengthened my own identity.

I learned that no matter where you go to college, across the board we are all learning the same things When I reconnected with friends from home who were at Ivy League colleges. I realized we were learning the same concepts and information in our respective classes. I learned that no matter where you end up at college, if you work hard to leam the material and you build good relationships with your professors, you are just as smart and competitive as the next college student. You make your college experience what it is. The most important thing I’ve learned is that I can truly do whatever I put my mind to. I picked a biology major knowing it would be very challenging and I would have to work hard at it if I wanted to succeed. There were times when I did not believe in myself or did not think I could get an A in a class or get into a competitive summer program. But time and again. I proved myselt wrong. I've learned that the best feeling comes when you succeed at something you didn't think you could do. What has been your most memorable experience? The most memorable expenence was my induction into Phi Beta Kappa honor society at the end of my junior year. I was so excited to receive soch an honor. It was a true recognition of the hard work and effort that I put into excelling at college. It was so special because Phi Beta Kappa represents the same sentiments that I have had about education-that the love of learning is the guide of life.

That big tree outside Shusterman and Sullivan HalL.I am going to miss that tree, it had great lumbar support. In Philly, it would be Naked Chocolate cafe; that stuff is delicious. 164 Seniors No way. I could never have guessed that have imagined. would have had this much fun. I have had way more excitement in my life at Temple than I could Winning Homecoming King might be the most memorable, but I think the times I will take with me have been just hanging out with friends, learning people's life stories and taking in the moments. How did your leadership positions at Temple help shape your life? I have been a Resident Assistant for three years and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life so far. It has given me the tools to help others and has certainly helped me to see how much of a difference I could make in people’s lives. Being Vice President of the Honors Activities Board was also a great experience in that I got the opportunity to lead as well as follow, and learning how to follow was a very important lesson in learning how to lead.

I was sure that I would be a classic college student, walking around in pajamas and eating Ramon noodles. Instead. I get dressed every morning and eat Charleston Market and sweet tea from Epp s. In addition, I never would have guessed that I would have found such amazing friends, had so many expenences and been blessed so often. I didn’t expect to learn so much about myself as a person nor the depth of my academic passion. To go to class and actually want to read beforehand, it still amazes me. Bushkill, PA Political Science, African American Studies What has been your most memorable experience during your time at Temple University? Any experience on SEPTA from a woman having a baby, coming back from my friend’s birthday at Ms. Tootsies and this woman telling my friends and I the many reasons Philadelphia was better than Orlando. San Diego and New York combined, having someone perform poetry, play the sax. sell books, oils. Sixers' season tickets and etc. What is the most important lesson that you have learned about yourself? The most Important lesson I have learned about myself and life in general is that nothing is as pressing and stressing as you think it is. Take your time, ’it will get done, when it gets done. Where was your favorite place to go on campus or around Philly? My favorite place to go on campus is definitely the Tech Center (aka Club Tech). It’s great to see people, especially when you are all working on similar projects, going to the Starbucks and even the Help Desk. Regarding a job, what are you going to be doing after you graduate? I will be working in Washington DC at a non-profit organization catering to the needs of state and local governments or state and state-related universities. Where do you see yourself five years from now? Five years from now, I see myself completing my dissertation and receiving my PhD in Sociology and African American Studies. % P Seniors 168 | Patrons I Now.

We've seen our share of ups and downs. Taking the King’s advice from Lewis Carroll’s Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, “Begin at the beginning, and go on till you come to the end: then stop.” We have made an incredible journey from when we entered our first classroom all those years ago. Now, that journey has seen its completion. 212 | Closing From tiiis day on, we will embark on a new adventure; one with excitement, risks and, yes, even work. We will no longer be staring through the looking-glass at our reflection, but crafting our likeness into who we want to become. The new journey that we will be taking is life in the Teal world'. We have learned to handle the challenges and struggles that meet us by bringing together our education and life lessons that have comprised our college experience. We have gathered knowledge and skills from our professors, mentors, and advisors to prepare us for the road ahead. Their guidance has taught us to not only reach for our hopes and dreams, but that we can achieve the unimaginable. The whole world is out there, waiting for us to make that difference. Continued on page 214 Closing | 213 The time has come, the Walrus said, 'To talk of many things: Of shoes — and ships -- and sealing-wax — of cabbages — and kings — and why the sea is boiling hot -- and whether pigs have wings. • Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking GUiss and Wbat Mice Found There, Ch. 4 f Continued from page 213 In the previous pages, we have seen how academics, sports, organizations and people have impacted our lives. Not only that, but realized how they have become part of our reflection, discovering who we are and learning to live our lives to the fullest. The Templar Staff and myself have worked very hard to put together this anthology. I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed this collection of memories that comprised Temple University 2009-2010. My wish is that when you reflect back on these times through the looking-glass, you will find cherished memories, stimulating education, invigorating friends and an overall wonderful adventure that was your college experience. 1 want to leave you with these words one last time from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found there, “'Be what you would seem to be'-or if you'd like it put more simply-'Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be.'
