Opening Opening I'll tell you all my ideas about Looking-glass House. 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-Glass, and What Alice Found There, Ch. 1
he alarm clock rings. You head into the bathroom to get ready for the day and look to the mirror. Just what is on the other side of the mirror? When we peer into that oking-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?
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.

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.'" Jaed Vanderzell, Editor-in-Chief

STUDENT LIFE
10 | Student Life Among the herd of people walking out of dass 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 nple University 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. okikioia Mibaiogun
Student Life | 11 /^V ampus On a typical day, one can observe a plethora of different things happening on campus.
"There is always something going on around campus. Morning, noon and evening there are campus events, information sessions, workshops and tons of other things. It is almost like this campus never goes to bed," said Aseem Malhotra. With the school day starting at 8 a.m., students roll out of bed and make the early morning stroll, or bike ride, to their first class.
"Half the battle for me is to wake up early and catch the R3 Regional Rail Line to get to campus on time before classes begin," said Soumya Rajan "The other half of the battle is staying awake during class!"
Aside from meeting up for lunch or dinner, students can regularly be seen working out together at the Independence Blue Cross Fitness Center, playing sports at the Pavilion, running around the track at the turf field and playing ping pong and billiards at the Student Activities Center.
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 be 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 and families of their own, they will undoubtedly cherish the many moments and memories they experienced on campus.

One can enjoy a night of music at the Kimmel Center, which is home to the Philadelhpia Orchestra, or stop by the Constitution Center, to see one of the -nation's most important documents. Philadelphia sports offer a major reason for students to trek into the heart of the city. Accessible via the Broad Street Line, Lincoln Financial Field, Citizen's Bank Park and the Wachovia Spectrum, are hot spots where students, along with other Philly sports fans, can cheer on their favorite team, and this year, Philadelphia sports teams gave citizen a lot to cheer about, with the Phillies entering the World Series for the second consecutive year, the Eagles rumbling into the end zone frequently and the Flyers keeping fans enthralled in close, nail-biting games.
Philadelphia is definitely the place to be! The e great places to hang out, experience culture, and e reat food! Philadelphia is home to a variety of cultur, istorical and social centers, making it the ideal city >e in during college years.
Additionally, a college student's life would not be quite complete without a wide variety of food. With restaurants like Buddakan, Penang, Copabanana and New Delhi, students are able to find food that they have always enjoyed while still being able to experiment with new dishes from different parts of the world. "I thoroughly enjoyed the Chicken Chimichanga I ordered at Copabanana during a dinner with friends," said Ken Trinh. The city of Philadelphia never fails to offer a fresh plate of new experiences and enjoyment for Students With diverse interests." Okikiola Alliballogun and Roni Devassy

Fortunately, Temple provides a variety of options for students to stay fit on campus. Students frequently use the Independence Blue Cross Fitness Center,
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 women's swimming club, we had weekly regular practices and invitationals throughout the year," said Indira Friel.
Though commitment in sports clubs is significant, students who participate find it a healthy anci fun addition to their academic workload. Students who do not feel as if they
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 TU Bailers!" Roni Devassy

Temple students take a lot of pride in their school. Fir 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 Lupe 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, Homecoming HOMECOMING KING DARRYN JARED LEE AND QUEEN CANDACE MOSES STAND remained an event that connects the Temple SIDE BY SIDE AFTER A WELL-DESERVED VICTORY AT THE HOMECOMING FOOTBALL Community.

Traditions are a main component of the many exciting :xperiences that music, theater, and dance have to fer to Temple students. 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 sporting 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.

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 get 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.

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 the 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 Lauer, 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 Allibalogun, Sarah Higgins and Becky Kerner

Walking around campus, one can see the tennist 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.

The thrill of going to college comes with the opportunity to live on one's own away from home. 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 I and play together, forming lasting friendships and equally special memories.
Temple University is also a major commuter campus, so the Temple experience would not be complete without hearing commuter's perspectives of college life. Some students also choose to drive to campus, which can be more convenient than taking public transportation. Y However, driving can result in problems finding Ma available and affordable parking spots on campus.

26 | Academics he lights never go down on Temple's Main Campus, rth Philly's diamond in the ruff. 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 by.
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 life- changing 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? Becky Kerner

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 best 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 be 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 REFLECTED IN THE FOX SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, THE HOWARD GITTIS STUDENT CENTER IS A CENTRAL MEETING PLACE FOR MANY STUDENTS. "THE SAC," AS IT IS 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, I enjoy being at main campus because it is closer to the city and the rest of the schools," shares sophomore Tyler student Samantha Varian.

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.

30 Academics Temple Ambler's campus is a student's home away from home. 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, WRFT, 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.

"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. The new structure, situated on North Broad Street, is directly across from the School of Dentistry and a block away from the School of Pharmacy.
The new building houses more than just a chicly designed study lounge, an expansive library, and the latest ii medical education technology, it is also a haven for Temple's medical students. "You never run out of places tc study. You never have to leave the building," says second year medical student Gurveen Sandhu. "Before we ha< to walk to different buildings, now people can stay in one place so it's easier to stay in contact." Leah stoner

Temple Rome and Temple Tokyo are two satellite campuses in exciting parts of the world that offer a global perspective to students of all walks of life.
Just footsteps away from the Spanish Steps and Borghese Gardens, Temple Rome, located in the Villa Caproni, gives students a chance to live and study in one of the world's most ancient cities. With the shadow of the past in sync with the presence of the future, students in Rome take full advantage of all the city has to offer, immersing themselves in the cultura d'italiano.
Students at Temple's Japan campus are also in for a real culture shock. The campus is a mix of Japanese students intrigued by the west, study abroad students and foreigners from all over the globe thrown into a blender. There are few other places in Tokyo where Americans can brag of their anime knowledge in Nihongo tongue to Japanese students who rap freestyle rhymes about their street thug credentials in a country with one of the lowest crime rates in the world.

They call this the "honeymoon' phase, where in the first few weeks students typically spend most of their budget because they are overcome with excitement. Unfortunately I fell into that trap and it lasted the entire semester. My budget was not limitless; however, by surviving on baguettes and saucisson I was able to ascend to the top of Eiffel Tower and L'Arc de Triomphe, visit the Notre Dame, picnic in the Jardin du Luxembourg, window shop and even go clubbing down the Champs-Elysees, be photographed with L'ecoute at Les Halles, sail down La Seine and "smell the roses" at Monet's Gardens. Being in a centrally located country like France allowed me easy travel to London, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Munich, Marrakech, Luxembourg and Geneva. Additionally, I managed to succeed in all four of my upper business classes while meeting great friends, having nd experiencing great cu

Then, I heard about the Temple Dublin summer program, during whicl a land of lush, green rolling hills. Before I knew it, I was flying across the Atlantic 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 Di that simply engulfs your senses. A genuinely surreal experience was seeing New; the Egyptian pyramids. I loved the nights spent in Ireland; they were filled with locals who took us to phenomenal places for drinks and a great time. I felt mo tourist because of the Temple classes. To this day, every time I see a movie tha longing for my home awav from home.

PHOTO BY VY 36 | Academics LUONG This year Temple welcomed the class of 2013, a class that brought with it the best and brightest students in Temple's history, setting new records in both average GPA and SAT scores. 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 lowerdevel 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 Honors 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 Tran 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 Honors 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 LLC 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 I weren't accepted into Temple Honors, I wouldn't have come to Temple." Sarah Higgins
DINNER...WITH A SIDE OF MURDER "Your name is Gabby Guitar and you were a member of your high school band. You know that your former classmate, Sally Records had produced the victim's movie but never received any royalties. You must tell her money is not worth killing over." Every participant in The Honors Activities Board's murder mystery dinner received a card with information similar to this before the high school reunion of Murder High took place in the Howard Gittis Student Center. Participants were instructed to stay in character, wear '80s costumes, and come with an appetite. Honors participants were greeted at the door with appetizers and additional information on the murder. They were given $500 each to bribe and blackmail others for information throughout the night. The goal was to correctly identify the murderer by the evening's end. After a night filled with excitement, food and good company, even those who did not correctly identify the murderer left with plenty of fun memories. Gina swindler

Of the many things that students are not officially required to do during their college careers, studying still remains to be the most important. Yet so many students can be found taking the time out of their busy social and academic schedules to do so.
"I study to prepare for my classes. 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."
Nearly 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 Lab, 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.
Every student finds his or her own perfect place to study and learn. Finding these quiet study moments is critical in every 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. Anna Palij

&&
"I know it's Friday the 13th, but you guys are really acting like zombies!" Professor Steven Pustay quips to his 8 a.m. Death and Dying class. Pustay chooses to teach the class from a world religions perspective. He 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 energy1." 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 The 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.

PHOTO BY GINA SWINDLER In a big city like Philadelphia, internship opportunities are plentiful. Temple University makes it easy for students to take advantage of these opportunities.
Meg Frankowski is an example of a Temple student who took advantage of one of Temple's local internship opportunities. Her 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.
The 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 because she was able to become familiar with a new place without being a tourist, while simultaneously gaining invaluable work experience.

42 Organizations There are over 200 student organizations at Temple, all unique and distinct. 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 types of organizations and various groups 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. Lara Taylor Strayer

These editors apply the previous year and go through an interview process before being chosen.
The creation of the book begins with assigning writers and photographers to certain events to gather information and photographs for the pages. Then, once all the content is placed on the pages, and the layout is perfected, the editing process begins.
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. Editor-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.

All four wins were difficult and required a high level of concentration and effort," said Co-captain Anastasiia Rukavyshnykova. The team also dominated Columbia University in a 5-2 battle last year. "The fact that we have two wins against schools from one of the strongest conferences in the country shows that we can play and be successful against any team," said Rukavyshnykova.

RICARDO VELAZQUEZ PREPARES TO RETURN A SHOT DURING A Men's Tennis The Men's Tennis team is off to a great season in 2009- They came out on top in their first tournament If the season, the Navy Invitational. 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 be 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 [Kacper] has been playing," said Coach Mauro. The brothers recently lost a very close doubles match with the University of Virginia, the number 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.

Valli commented on how he has personally seen the team grow over the past season. "The character our team showed was incredible, especially by remaining competitive throughout the season despite losing our top 2 pitchers to season-ending injuries," said Valli. Three of the most memorable moments were sweeping a 3 game series with Big 5 rival LaSalle, sweeping a 3 game series with in-state rival Duquesne and winning the opening weekend tournament at Florida Gulf Coast.

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.

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 heads. The team will look to return to the top of the Big 5 down the road. Raymond Boyd SENIOR ERIC PLISKO GETTING IN A FEW PRACTICE PUTTS BEFORE HIS ROUND. enc Coming off an impressive season last year, the Temple Fencing team, under the leadership of Hall of Fame Coach Nikki Franke, entered this year looking to add to their success. 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. Raymond Boyd Women's Soccer The women's soccer team completed the 2009 season with an overall record of 7-11-1 and a conference record of 3-8-0. 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 1 carry forward," said Head Coach David Jones. I Hopefully those Owls will carry 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.

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.

Noone. The seven seniors led the Cherry and White to a 9-7- 2 overall record on the season and a 4-4-1 conference record. Although the Owls did not compete in postseason play, the team had its share of accomplishments. Senior J.T. Noone was named to the Academic All-Conference team (3.68 GPA) and the All Conference first team for the second consecutive season. The Owls finished the 2008 campaign with a 13- 6-3 record and a runner-up finish at the Atlantic 10 Tournament.

Women's Creu On November 15, 2009, the women's crew team turned in a strong performance at the Braxron Memorial Regatta on the Schuylkill River. 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 4B 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. Sarah Higgins Men's Crew 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 Ehmer, 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. Temple's crew team is coached by Dr. Gavin White, who is in his 30th season coaching the Cherry and White. 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. 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 CREW MEMBERSSCOTT HERRING, BRENDAN CUNNINGHAM, MATTHEW MEYER AND 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 TEMPLE SENIOR MANDI RUTH AND SOPHOMORE KAYLEE KEENER our program each and every day." IN THE MIDST OF A GAME. 102 Sports 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. Raymond Boyd Women's Cross Country International track star Steve Prefontaine once said, "A lot of people run a race to see who's the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts." During the 2009 cross country season, the Lady Owls flew to new heights and certainly showed guts. 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.

Rounding out the top runners were juniors Eddie Penetar, who came in second place, and Mike May, who finished third, sophomore Travis Mahoney, who came in sixth, and senior Adin Mickle, who finished in twenty-fifth place. The team previously finished in ninth place overall at the NCAA Regional Championships. Coach Eric Mobley told owlsports.com, "The results of today's meet were huge for our program. This caps off a really great season for both of our [men's and women's] teams." The Atlantic-10 Championships in St. Louis also proved to be a huge success for Temple, as they finished fifth. Junior Mike May quickly became the first All-Conference honoree in program history, finishing in eighth place. Another achievement for the Owls this season came when the team earned an 11th place ranking from the U.S. Track and Field Cross Country Coaches Association Mid-Atlantic Region, the best ranking in school history. Sarah Higgins Sports 105 Although still in progress when the book went to print, the 2009-2010 season for the women's basketball team is looking promising. Their overall record thus far is 19-6, and 8-2 for conference games. At this point, the team is very close to earning their seventh consecutive NCAA tournament berth. The team is proud of their big win against Rutgers in early December because of Rutgers' reputation of greatness. "Winning at the RAC [The Louis Brown Athletic Center] says a lot about our team," says Marli Bennett. She also mentions the team's win in their season opener against Illinois, saying, "We were down 18 towards the end of the game and we banned together as a team, determined that a loss would not start our season, and came up with a win." The Owls also played close games against Duke and Florida State, both top-10 teams, earlier in the season. Sophomore co- captain Kristen McCarthy has been a high scorer this season and has helped lead the way for Temple. Senior co-captain LaKeisha Eaddy became the 17th player in the history of Temple's program to score 1,000 career points.

One of the team's most notable wins came at the end of the season at the nail-biting game against George Washington. Temple won 3-2. "I think that [this win] was huge because it went to five games and put us into the semifinals of our conference championship," said senior Jacklyn Morrison. The Owls' season ended at their next match against the A-10 regular season champion, Dayton, where the Owls lost 1-3. Pierre gives the team credit for putting up a good fight against Dayton, noting how well they competed against them as well as St. Louis, both of which are top teams in their conference.

The Owls soared to a convincing 10-point lead at the final buzzer, concluding their first game and win against a top five team. The win launched Temple into a top 20 national ranking. Sophomore Juan Fernandez from Rio Tecero, Argentina, a key player for the Owls, has been a difference-maker in many close games. Other big wins in the 2010 season came at home against the Penn State Nittany Lions, with a score of 45-43, and Big 5 rival Saint Joesph's Hawks, with a score of 73-46. However, a few tough losses plagued the Owls in I their road games. Losses to the University of North Carolina Charlotte (64-74) and the University of Richmond (54-71) have left the Temple Owls in question regarding a back-to-back win of the Atlantic-10 conference and an automatic birth into March Madness.

The season ended with the Owls' first bowl appearance when they took on the UCLA Bruins in the EagleBank Bowl in Washington, DC. The 2009 team was led by fourth year head coach Al Golden. As well as leading the Owls through a great season, Golden was also named the 2009 Maxwell Club Tri State Coach of the year. Freshman RB Bernard Pierce, who boasted a fantastic first season for the Owls, was named to the Honorable Mention All-College Football Insiders Team along with teammate Colin Madison, a junior OL. Pierce was also an honorable mention All-American. Football Madison, one of the members of the offensive line, was a first team All-Mac honoree and was the team's Co-offensive MVP starting all 13 games at RG. TE Steve Maneri and DB Dominique Harris, both of whom Coach Golden regarded as exceptional leaders, were selected to the MAC'S All- Academic team. The accolades, the record and the bowl appearance speak for themselves. Temple had a fantastic season and the team is seeking bigger and better things for the future. 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.

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-Head 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 Kerner Sports 117 Diamond Band 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. 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. The pride of the Cherry and White has become a tradition whose end is nowhere in sight. With new members joining every year, the spirit of Temple University is sure to be displayed in its fullest potential by the Diamond Band. Emily Briggs 118 Sports Sports i 119 120 I Faculty What would peanut butter be without jelly? Romeo without Juliet? TU without its outstanding faculty? 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 be 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 "I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it fo half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've b as many as six impossible things before brJ through the Lookmg-Glass, an What Alice Found There, Cn. Faculty | 121 1 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 because 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 Lake City in my case, where I earned my bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees while raising our four daughters with my husband Randy, I would not be where I am today. I 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 be a leader among national urban research universities. How does it feel to be the first female president? I am keenly aware that in the news release announcing my appointment as Temple's new president back in 2006 and in every news story that followed, and almost every time someone introduces me at an event, I am referred to as "the first female president" of Temple University. I certainly did not set out to be the "first female" to do anything. I 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 I admire, both 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? I 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 before them. I invite them to continue to be as involved and committed to Temple as alumni, and I look forward to working with them for many years to come. 122 Do you plan on making any improvements? As we look 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 began 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 beyond their graduation when they become 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 non- conference rivals. We can be very proud of all the young men and women who represent Temple in athletic competition in the many sports programs we support. It takes a great deal of talent and even more commitment to practice to compete in intercollegiate athletics, especially while balancing a demanding academic schedule. 3iMmmamiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii| N SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATIONS AND THEATER. INTERIM DEAN MWHi#MI SOUFAS SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENTAL 126 J Seniors The anticipation of graduation in May, the itching notion to finish classes, the thrill of being wise upperclassmen, and the finale of a college career all weigh heavily on the minds of any departing senior. Temple University's class of 2010 will undoubtedly face challenges as they plow through the world that awaits them, yet with an unmistakable set of learned skills, these students are well prepared for every test thrown their way. This class featured 6,700 of the most competitive students ever to enter the university. Some of this year's most popular majors included biology, psychology and accounting, reflecting jobs that will thrive in the economy. The Fox School of Business was proud to teach students such as Katharine Harned, a human resources major, who will enter the corporate realm as an executive with Target thanks to a unique partnership between the store and the school. Others, such as Claire Fuller, a communications major, impressed the judges on American Idol and earned the coveted golden ticket. Still others, like men's basketball starter Ryan Brooks, became the 45th member of the 1000-pt. club. As seniors, these students will take with them countless lessons and memories, building their ives upon the foundation that the university has provided them.

My most memorable experience at Temple has been teaching yoga at the IBC. It's a lot of fun leading yoga sessions and it feels good knowing I've helped people meet their fitness goals. I've learned what a capable person I am at balancing a heavy course load, teaching at the IBC, and working part time as well. And I've learned how to best utilize my time on the regional rail! Reflecting on your years at Temple, what is one thing you did not expect to learn? i't expect to become so comfortable with the city of Philadelphia. I'm a self-professed country girl and cities used to give me anxiety. It feels empowering and freeing to be so familiar and knowledgeable of Philly now. Job-wise, what are you going to do after you graduate? I'm still figuring that out. I need to get an internship going on and start concentrating on networking more. I'm open to any and all career possibilities, but I'm especially drawn to management positions that include media and traveling! Where do you see yourself five years from now?

I've learned that I have to always look forward and never dwell on things that I have no control over, cannot change the past, but I can act in the present to change the future. What has been your most memorable experience here at Temple? The fall of 2008 was by far my most memorable semester at Temple. Walking to City Hall when the Phillies won the World Series and when Obama was elected president were two of the most unique experiences of my life. What were your leadership positions and how did they shape your life at Temple? I was the Treasurer in the 1300 Senate during my freshman year, Director of Outreach in the Residence Hall Association during my sophomore year, Co-chair of the International Health & Health Policy Committee for the American Medical Student Association during my junior year, and Secretary of the American Medical Student Association during my senior year. Each of these leadership positions exposed me to great deal of people with diverse cultures and opinions. Through my involvement at Temple, I was able to build relationships with students, sors, and administrators that helped me to grow and mature into who I am today. Job wise, what are you going to do after you graduate? I will be headed to Medical School in the fall of 2010. am unsure as to what type of doctor I would like to be, but am open-minded in order o find my niche during my medical studies. 140 Seniors Ann Gibson Jacquetta Gifford Lauren Gill Malcolm Gill Ryan Gipson Marina Girshevich Jamie Glacken John Gleason Nicola Gleason David Glinski Kevin Gold Jessica Goldey Daniel Goldstein Christel Golson Dalyvette Gonzalez Grisell Gonzalez Andrew Good Maximillian Good Julie Goodchild Maryana Gordin Daniel Gordon Lauren Gordon Robyn Govberg Mary Gowdy Rebecca Gowdy Abhishek Goyal Lee Grabois Glenn Graeber Sydni Grant Andrew Grasso Elizabeth Graves Kelli Green Monique Green Kelly Greene Tiara Greene Ashley Greenwood Courtney Gregory Christine Griffith Lauren Griffith Steven Grillo Brienne Grimaldi Antoinette Grimes Louisa Grosh Desiree Guastella Kristin Guidotti Justin Guiliano Kamille Guinn Edward Guinto John Gurcsik Joseph Gurreri Lucian Gutica Jeffrey Gutkin Roy Gutshall Christopher Haagen Jovana Hackman Josephine Hallowanger Danielle Hamblin Hassan Hameen Salman Hamid Marvelyn Hamilton Thomas Haney Elizabeth Hanson Sara Hanson Kamrun Haque Kevin Harden Tylisha Harden Kristen Harding Brittany Hardy Christopher Hare Jason Harmon Katharine Harned Alesha Harris Lauren Harris Joann Harrison Talisah Harrison Thomas Harrison Tiffany Harrison Amanda Harvin Ahmed Hasan Teresa Hatch Patrick Haviland Andrew Hazel Michelle Hebb Sierra Helberg Matthew Held Eric Hendrickson Ramy Heness Kyle Henrick Johanna Hernandez Joseph Heston Madasia Hicks Pamela Hiddemen Daniel Higgins Kevin Higgins Jessica Hill Keisha Hill •;;:=•:• 3 Kimberlyn Hill Sean Hill Vivian Hill Deanna Hines Daijessa Hinton Tram Hoang Janet Hockman Brittani Hodges Brittney Hoffman Kelly Hogeland Neil Hollander Colleen Hollawell Nicholas Hollenstein Latia Holley Tyrone Holt Jr. Michael Honeycutt Ying Hong Eric Hontz Jaclyne Hopkins Chris Hopper Sara Horatius Sherri Hospedales Nai-Wei Hou Hillary Houser Ebony Howard Steven Howell Mircha Hrizhynku Yu-Tung Vivien Hsueh Erick Huang Kevin Hubbard Michael Hudak Mable Hudgins Portia Hudson Melissa Hughes Kieyetta Human William Hummel Gian Hunjan Chonte Hunt Jenny Hwang Anna Hyclak Fareeha Hydari Janelle Ince Ryan Irving Le'ron Irwin Jason Isles Jamal Ismael Laura Iuliano Preye Iziken Cecilia Jacinto Jamie Jackson Kenneth Jackson Krystal Jackson Roslyn Jackson Tiffany Jackson Lovely Jacob Brittany Jacobs Nicole Jacobs Stephen Jaffe Darlene James Tracey James Bechara Jaoudeh Jennifer Jarosz Eneye Jatto Brenda Jean-Baptiste Karl-Lydie Jean-Baptiste Jessica Jean-Pierre Danielle Jeffkin Dashe Jeffries George Jenkins Shardai Jenkins Hui Jiang Jaclyn Jimenez Xue Jin Maria Jinselli Jainy John Sajan John Shadina John Brandon Johnson Deborah Johnson Gregory Johnson Jennifer Johnson Jessica Johnson Ross Johnson Rowena Johnson Thelma Johnson Walter Johnson Carmen Jones Catherine Jones Danica Jones Ladisasha Jones Loniese Jones Marcus Jones Mawuli Jones Tara Jones Litty Joy Hun Jung 144 Seniors Hyun Joo Jung Ekaterina Kalinina Danielle Kane Maggie Kane David Kangas mmttik Peter Karam Katarzyna Karaszewski Devon Karcher Sulaiman Kargbo Natalia Karkacheva Jessica Karpovich Tiffany Kasunich Gabriel Katz Laura Kaufman Calla Kavulich Steven Kearns Nicholas Keiner Rodney Kellam Audubon, PA Risk Management CM i mm fi Insurance, Marketing What's one thing you didn't expect to learn at Temple? 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 working 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? The e 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 thos a that took place on the streets of Philadelphia those nights. Another great one was the International Management Conference my student prof sssional organization, Gamma lota Sigma, hosted here at Temple. It was a weekend in October of 2009 and it was incredible to meet peo >le 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 J10 and the snow fights with my roommates that ensued were definitely memorable. I think I was more excited for those two snow days I had ever been for one in high school! re was your favorite place to go on campus or around Philly? Hilly, 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 d 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 »ol 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 et 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.

Studying abroad was an amazing experience in which I got to meet an amazing group of people from Temple, from across the country and across the world. I got to live in, and become a part of, another culture, which was truly a life-changing experience. I got to visit cities all across Spain and see and experience amazing things. It inspired my love for travel and I absolutely cannot wait to get back to Europe and have more fantastic experiences! What is the most important lesson you have learned about yourself? The most important lesson I have learned about myself is what is important to me. I have come to see over the course of my college education howruch7vaLe beta close to my friends and family, as well as how important it is to make my goals and aspirations a pnonty. I love learnt and Ihave cTme to see that despite all the hard work that comes along with it, it is something I truly enjoy and ,t bnngs me closer to where I want to be in my future. Where was your favorite place to go on campus or in Philadelphia? One of my favorite things to do when it is nice out is bike over to Rittenhouse with some of my friends and just relax, enjoy the sights; and take in the• ntee weather. Afterwards I can't help but take a little pit stop over to More Than Just Ice Cream for a delicious, albeit unhealthy, end to the day. On campus, I love to do my work outside if it's nice enough, especially on Beury Beach.

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 growth. 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? completely honest, it was my childhood and teenage dream to go to Temple University. In fact, I only applied to Temple, so one can , 3',ne «f " my accePtance letter four years ago. I always envisioned myself as a Temple graduate and I've accomplished that qoal ww I m off to bigger things. K a " Reflecting on your years at Temple, what is one thing you did not expect to learn? I 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 onlv strengthened my own identity. y Where do you see yourself five years from now? Working on television somewhere on the East Coast. My eventual goal is to be on a morning show somewhere in America or with ESPN. 156 Seniors Amy Pospiech Danny Povlich Sean Prentiss Matthew Price Nicholas Priestley Andrew Prince Katherine Prioli Oksana Protas Michelle Provencher Kendra Prussien Keith Purnell Stephanie Pyle Husam Qasem Kathleen Quinn Jennifer Quintana Suresh Rabess Selina Radlin Kathleen Rafferty Patrick Ragan Kevin Ragbasingh Jennifer Rahilly Lillian Raja Salma Rajayki Mary Ramseur Taj a Ramsue Cici Rao Tiffany Rapine Joshua Ratz Nasreen Razzaq Chelsey Reams Jennifer Reardon Grace Reed Olivia Refile Ying Ren Monshell Reyes Stephanie Reyes Lacey Reynolds Shannon Reynolds Steven Rhen Joanna Rhodes Andrew Ricchezza David Richards Monica Richards Reenee Richards Nicole Richardson Robert Richardson Michelle Ricketts David Ricks Rosa Riley Tiffany Riley Aileen Rimando Daniel Ritzheimer Alicia Rizzo Corinne Robbins Jessica Roberts Victoria Robertson Asia Robinson Rhonda Robinson Tammy Robinson Tracy Robinson Erica Rodriguez Elizabeth Rogiani April Roldan Eric Rolon Matthew Rong Victor Rong Julian Root Ariela Rose Lakendra Rose Sherron Rosenlund Chelsea Rosiek Geoffrey Ross Amanda Rossi Mackenzie Rowan Megan Ruff Danielle Ruffin Angelica Rugege Anastasiia Rukavyshnykova Neil Rushi Morgan Russell Keanna Ryals Renee Ryan Asmaa Sabour Danielle Sacco Jonathan Saccoccio Humaira Safdar Chaitanya Sakhalkar Sarah Salem Danielle Saletta Winnett Salmon Harry Salmond Anthony Salzano Micah Sammons Denzel Samuel Jennifer Sanchez Jenny Sanchez 158 Seniors «W| Yvette Sanchez-Barreto Mark Sandor Janiah Sanford Varun Sanghwan Karen Sankowski Marissa Santoro Varun Sanyal Melanie Sapiandante Maricel Saroca Deborah Sausman Genevia Sawyer Justin Schaeffer Jessica Scherff Jordan Schindler Katherine Schmelz Robert Schnell Lauren Schott Dawn Schpak Douglas Schultz Emmery Schulz Alexander Schwartz Juliann schwegler Stephanie Scott Jessica Searight Kathryn Searles Danielle Seastrum Reuben Segal Kristopher Seiberlich Nicholas Seifrit Jared Seitz Monica Sellecchia Kierstin Seminack Mollie Serdikoff Earleena Sewell Chelsea Sexauer Joshua Seyler Tyesha Shaddi Amruta Shah Eric Shamis Cynthia Shank Julian Shanks Sabrina Shapiro Capri Sharper Taisha Shaw Zekita Shaw Tiffany Sheffield Jessica Shefsky Richard Sheppard 159 Lakeeya Shields-Cooper Laura Shinn Kyle Shinsky Lee Shlamowitz Matthew Shoaf David Sholl Joseph Shriver Danielle Shtraus Kartik Shukla Miranda Shull Sarah Sibel Sopheavy Siek Lauren Siliani Lauren Silver Ashley Simon Paige Sims Catherine Sincovich Monica Sirotovitz Sarah Sivilich Suzanne Slemmer Michelle-Ann Small Allesha Smith Danielle Smith Kevin Smith Rebecca Smith Sasha Smith Steven Smith Candace Smoot Brett Snell Timothy Snyder Katelyn Soban Rebecca Sokol Carly Sokoloff Sara Sokolow Dimple Solanki Linna Som Ashley Somers Trevor Sonnenberg Matthew Sophy Shakita Speaks Christopher Speece Tiffany Spence Jade Spillane Shannon Spillman Clarence Sproul III Shalonda Spruill Shamira Squirrel Marjorie Stackhouse 160 Seniors Ashley Standeven Katie Stango Laura Stansbury Mary Stanz Joseph Staples Belinda Stapleton Joseph-Vincent Starecky Keith Stauffer Korah Steed Alexandra Stefanatos Christopher Stepps Candice Stevens Torre Steward Nicole Stilianos Gaja Stirbys Shaniece Stonewall Ian Storch Nicole Storniolo GoJIepn Wynnewood, PA ,lv?:"elll H. .11 SSI 1! ;|| 111 jlF ifE Biology Cognitive Neuroscience What is one thing you did not expect to learn at Temple? I learned that no matter where you go to college, across the board we are all learning the same thinqs 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 learn the material and you build good relationships with your professors, you are just as smart and competitive as the next college student. You make vour colleae experience what it is. e most important thing Ive learned is that I can truly do whatever I put my mind to. I picked a biology major knowing it would be very allenging 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 thinkIcou d -t an A in a class or get into a competitive summer program. But time and again, I proved myself wrong.

It was apparent from the start that you had a tenacious personality. You were fearless, strong-willed, determined. Invariably a risk-taker, you always had to climb higher, jump farther and run faster, often scaring the living daylights out of us. We held our breath during the teenage years, and prayed our risk-taker wouldn't take any serious risks. They were some tough years, but you (we) made it through with more triumphs than tragedies. May, 2010 You are graduating. We couldn't be any prouder! That tenacity, fearlessness and determination has served you well. From baseball and snowboarding, to California and Kansas City, you focused on something and you followed through. We admire that. Remember your sense of humor when you hit the bumps along life's path, and most important, know we always love you, no matter what. Congratulations, Kev!

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 this 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 'real world1. 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 Glass and What Mice Found There, Ch. 4 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. I 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 been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them tO be.'"
