A Letter from the President Dear Owls, Each fall, we welcome thousands of new students into our Temple family, and each spring we send thousands of Temple-made graduates back into the world to make a lasting impact. In the time it takes to achieve an undergraduate or graduate degree, you gain not only new knowledge and skills, but also the memories and connections you will carry with you for the rest of your lives. I couldn’t be more proud of the diverse and driven students who make up our Class of 2019. Congratulations to all of you, to your families and to our dedicated faculty and academic advisors who had the pleasure of educating and championing you in your time at Temple. If Temple’s founder Russell Conwell were alive to see your collective abilities today, he’d be thrilled and amazed. He put an idea of higher education in motion 134 years ago that not only sustains to this day, but flourishes. Now it’s your turn to put your own ideas and dreams in motion and realize a better future for yourself and others. The pages of this yearbook tell the story of one of Temple’s most impressive years. We’ve never been larger or more academically capable, and our future has never been brighter. Thank you so much for calling Temple your academic home. While I trust you’ll all go far, you’ll always be close to the Cherry and White. We love you all. Richard M. Englert President 5
