It's 9:20 in the morning, you slept through your alarm, your first class started at 8:40, and you have a quiz today. The only reason you 're awake is because your friend text messaged you to see what time you wanted to eat lunch. You throw on some clothes and sprint to class, hoping by some miracle your professor hasn 't given the quiz yet. Such is the life of college students. With the waning of semesters, it's hard to recall the enthusiasm that you began the year with, when your classes still sounded exciting and fresh. Temple students are much like the typical

Learning is the essence of one's college experience. Temple recognizes that in an era of "global citizenship," its Owls need to graduate with a well- rounded education. While you may be a journalism major, your General Education Core requires you to take some math and science courses. And while you may be a Pre-Med student, you still have to fulfill your liberal arts requirements. Taking this idea of a comprehensive education to a new level, Temple has developed a highly successful Intellectual Heritage program where students learn the foundations of Western thought. Discussing

antiquity, religion, politics, morality, and the development of each into the cultural mindset we have today may possibly be one of the most eye-opening experiences a student can have here at Temple. One only has to be aware of current events to know that we are not operating in a world focused on local and regional awareness. Temple provides its students with understanding of other peoples, nations, cultures, and opinions to begin activating ourselves now as citizens of the world.

n the increasingly competitive modern job market internships are considered a foot through the door by many future members of Ithe nation's workforce. Temple students are no exception. Both on and off campus, Temple interns are developing valuable skills and contributing to our community. An urban location offers a plethora of opportunities for students. Philadelphia, being one of the largest cities in the world, is a perfect place to intern, whether you're pursuing a career in business, politics, communications, education or the arts.

Students who are looking to intern here at Temple or within the city should take advantage of the requests Temple offices send to professors and deans of their respective colleges. Temple personnel are always looking for capable, enterprising students to fill their staff positions. Owls, such as senior Tourism and Hotel Management major Candace Amayo, appreciate the opportunities made available to them through the internship programs. According to Amayo, working at the Office of Special Events, "is especially interesting because the university setting calls for additional concerns that may not be addressed otherwise."

While the practical aspects of interning are undeniable, what really draws students to intern are the new and exciting people and experiences you have every day. Senior Sean Fitzpatrick is an intern with America Votes . He said that even

though "it was definitely a challenge to juggle an internship, a part-time job, and being a full time student... I got to meet tons of people from all over the country and see how motivated some people really are about being active members of our democracy."

An invaluable component to the years one spends in college is branching out from one's comfort zone, trying new things, and experiencing what your surroundings have to offer. Those who participate in the internship programs are undoubtedly taking advantage of the chance to explore previously uncharted territory in their lives. The lasting connections made from their experiences will never be forgotten. - By Maiy E. Coyle

Laura Stahl, a junior majoring in Finance and International Business, studied in France in the fall of 2006. Though she is not technically studying through Temple's study abroad program, she says the international studies office was crucial in helping her set up her exchange program. She believes the Temple Study Abroad program is vitally important to enable people from all over the world to understand each other. "It encourages more students to study in other cultures," Stahl said. "These students come back with a new outlook on life. It is really all about learning tolerance - tolerance for another culture and that stays with a person. It is something that you carry with you for the rest of your life and by having a more tolerant worldly viewpoint essentially spreads that tolerance to others. It is such a positive chain reaction," - By Elizabeth Parks

They laid strong ground­ work for the future, and an indi­ vidual honor was awarded. The most memorable moment of the season for Coach David Jones was the win against Penn. He commends his team on how well they played and that they beat such a strong team They scored an early goal against Penn. then held off the Quakers un­ til late in the game where they scored again, winning 2-0 This season the team was filled with young players, mostly freshmen and sophomores Therefore, Jones focused on strengthen­ ing the team through workouts and preparing them for future seasons.

For this season, the team had shirts made with this saying and wore them to warm up. The team had so much pride in their accomplishments for very good reason. Under coach Fred Turoff and assistant coach Theo Mayes, the Owls had very ex­ perienced coaches to assist them in their season. Turoff entered his 3 I st season and Mayes entered his first on the staff He was a Temple gymnast under Turoff.

The- team had two returning conference champions, Luke Vexler as the floor exercise conference champion and Sterling Kramer as the all-around conference champion. Vexler is following in the footsteps of his older brother, Aaron, who competed for Turoff from I QQ4 to I QQS. The team also consisted of many other experienced gymnasts from Temple's junior and sophomore dasses who brought different things to the team. Temple is hosting the conference1 championships this season and has taken the conference title I 4 times under Turoff. The last "Three times Temple has hosted The champion­ ships, Temple has taken the title and had high hopes to do the same this season. At the time Templar went to press, the Owls had competed in six meets and won all of them. Left in season were five more meets and then the championships.

Head Coach Ken Anderson was replaced by Aaron Murphy, a former Temple gym­ nast Anderson had a program- best 236 victories and coached the team for 2 I years at the helm of the program

After a 6- I 9 performance last year, Murphy started the training season with a new philosophy. He wanted to advance skills and freshen routines, starting ear­ lier so that the team would feel comfortable when competitions rolled around Murphy did let tradition stay, though, when he allowed the traditional picking of the captains by the team. Seniors Jill Kornett and Sarah Liebowitz we're picked because of their leadership on and off "The mat Going into the season, the team was blessed to have a strong group of varying skills. Each woman brought something to the team And as a whole, they created an amazing dynamic. At the time Templar went to press, the Lady Owls had competed five times with a record of 2-3. They reached a season high score at the Penn tri-meet They had f'w/e more ccnnpetitions and then championships for the rest of their season.

After graduating with a Risk Management and Insur­ ance major, she plans to head to Aon Risk Services in Chicago to start her career as a relationship specialist. While excited about her new life ahead, the Temple experi­ ence was very fulfilling for Hanitz. She chose the school because she was originally lived in Philadelphia before moving to Allentown with her family. Hanitz says she is in love with the city and needs to have a lot going on around her. Temple was the per­ fect choice for this city girl because she could still be close to her family, who mean the world to her. Hanitz found it almost impossible to name a favorite experience here at Temple. There have been many good ones that will stay with her as she travels forward in life. The few that topped the list were being a Phi Sigma Sigma sister, being named the first ever "Greek Woman of the Year" for 2005-2006, being in Gamma Iota Sigma (her major's student organization), and participating in Greek Week. "Phi Sig made me realize that I can do anything I put my mind to, and I will take the lessons I learned here at Temple and carry them with me forever," Hanitz said.

fieniot (ftofile.: Matthew Jones

For someone who lives 20 miles north of New York City and loves the city, Phila­ delphia seemed like the perfect place to go to school. Due to its large city-school atmosphere and impressive education program, Temple seemed right for senior Mat­ thew Jones. For someone as fun, outgoing and laid back as Jones, there were many memorable experiences to be made. "Going to the basketball games, many late-night walks to 7-11, lots of long nights with cans of Red Bull and starting my own aca- pella group, the Broad Street Line, will always stay in my mind and make me think of Temple," Jones said. Along with all the memories, Jones said he learned a great deal from Temple. In his time here, he learned how to live on his own. His mom wasn't there to wake him up, to tell him when to go to bed, and to make sure everything was getting done. According to Jones, Temple also taught him everything he needed to know for his future. He plans on staying in Philly to teach for three years. After making tenure, he plans to move where the money is. "It was fun while it lasted," Jones said. By Beth Davis

fienio* (ftofile.: Danielle Perry Coming from a small town in Northeastern Pennsylvania, Danielle Perry thought Bloomsburg University would be the perfect place for her. After a semester she learned she was wrong and transferred home to a community college. It was there she decided that Temple would be the best place for her because it would give her more opportunities with the major she had. Once here, Perry changed her major to STOC with a Public Relations concentration and felt it was the best decision of her life. "I have never once doubted that PR is what I was meant to do," Perry said. As a junior here at Temple, Perry decided to pledge a sorority and joined Phi Sigma Sigma. She felt this was an excellent choice, as she has gained plenty of volunteer ex­ perience since. After an amazing internship at Center City Proprietors Association her junior year, Perry had the opportunity to intern at 160over90 as a senior. The intern­ ship allowed her to gain experience that she will need in the field of public relations. In the future, Perry plans to stay in Philadelphia, working for an agency or non-profit organization. "I like the non-profit sector because it helps people. My mom was diag­ nosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1993, so I am very involved with the National Mul­ tiple Sclerosis Society," she said. According to Perry, choosing Temple was the best thing she could have done to improve her future. #,, getj^ £)av/5

fieniot (ptoflle: Russell Zimberlin Temple has taught many students many things, but to senior Russell Zimberlin, it gave him a first-class education that will help him in all his future endeavors. Zimberlin said he would not have made it this far with­ out the help of all of his professors and Dean Montague along the way, and that made his Temple experience worth so much more. Zimberlin chose Temple because it's a great institution. He liked the city atmosphere and enjoyed being a small distance from home. The last deciding factor was all of the opportunities that would be available after graduation. Zimberlin's fondest memory here was winning the Intramural championship three years in a row. Coincidently, at the time Templar went to press, his future plans were to win the Intramural softball cham­ pionship for the fourth year in a row. After graduation, Zimberlin also looks forward to a job in the sports industry.

Our awesome responsibility to ourselves, to our children and to the future - is to create ourselves in the image of goodness, because the future depends on the nobility of our imaginings. The world we live in depends on the responsible contributions each of us makes. And this world is just as good as are the many talents we commit ourselves to developing and offering. None of us is without obligation to offer our best to our family, friends, or strangers, if our hope is to live in a good world. The world can only be as good as each of us makes it... Individually and collectively, our power to mold the outer circumstances of our lives is profound! Our personal responses to one another and our reactions to events that touch us, combined with the actions of others to create a changed environment that affects us. No action, no thought, goes un-noticed, unfelt, in this interdependent system of humanity. We share the universe. We are the force behind all that the universe offers. Whether we acknowledge the depth of our contribution is irrelevant. It is still profound and making and impact every moment and eternally. To live is not merely to breathe, but it is to act, it is to make use of our organs, senses, faculties. All of these parts of our­ selves give us the feeling of existence. We are gifted with talents that need encouragement in order to blossom. Few of us fully appreciate our talents. Many of us fail to utilize them, and yet they are waiting for the invitation to present themselves. We have been blessed with particular talents because the world we live in needs our individual involvement. Each of us is charged with a responsibility to Contribute to the lives around us. Our shared talents make the road smooth, when each of us has acted as the need arose. We are called to participate by our talents. The help define who we are. They affirm that we count, that we are needed. No one is without capability, a characteristic that lends just the right flavor to a situation involving others. Whether it is a sense of humor, the ability to write or paint or a talent for settling disputes, we each have a calling card and we are asked daily to make our contribution.

Christopher, the Lives of your Family and Friends are enriched by your Talents and Contributions. The world is a better place having you in it. We are so very proud of you & your accomplishments. We can not wait to see where this New Path along the journey of life take you... CONGRATULATIONS!!! MOM 143

The tPJU of another school year..

The 2006 - 2007 school year was full of chang­

es and new adjustments. A new president,

new coaches, new teachers, new students and

plenty of new experiences made it an unforget­

table year of GROWTH. As the 2007 gradu­

ates move on to take on the world, they will

always remember how Temple touched their

lives and set them on the path to greatness. Congratulations, class of 2007!
