Young Alumni Roundtable: Who Takes Responsibility for Philadelphia's Future?
Thursday, Sept. 30, 12:30-1:30 PM
Temple University Center City, room 208, 1515 Market St., Philadelphia, PA (You will need a photo ID to enter the building.)

Some urban historians have dubbed Philadelphia "the private city," referring to its longstanding tendency to address social problems through private action. Professor Carolyn Adams, PhD, Geography and Urban Studies Department, will discuss how a growing number of young Philadelphians are committed to moving the city forward by rebuilding neighborhoods, promoting the city's cultural scene, making healthy foods available to all families and pursuing green solutions to energy challenges. Private groups and individuals are increasingly taking responsibility for our city's future. Is this a good thing? Where should we draw the line between private and public responsibility for our city?

Please bring your lunch and join us for a young alumni discussion with Professor Adams. Refreshments and soft pretzels will be provided. For extra credit, bring your business or contact card to win a $25 Amazon.com gift certificate!

Admission is FREE.

Questions? Contact Celia Proulx at cproulx@temple.edu or 215-204-9556.
