Just a little over one year ago, I took office as Temple University’s 15th president. It was one of the most distinct privileges of my career, as I have always had a deep appreciation for the key role that Temple plays as Philadelphia’s public research university, public health system and one of the region’s most important economic anchors.
Over the last year, that sentiment has only been further affirmed. I have come to find that the Temple community is unified around Temple’s mission and a shared sense of purpose. It is something that we all hold dear, and I know it will be one of our biggest strengths moving forward.
It also speaks to the new Temple brand campaign, which you will read about here within the pages of the returning Temple magazine. This brand campaign distills what all of us already know into something tangible for the whole world to see: Real Success is Temple Made.
This issue of Temple magazine, the first since 2019, tells numerous stories of Temple Made success. And, for evidence, look no further than Christopher Barnett, CLA ’10.
