News and Updates

New Temple Website: As of December 13, prospective students, parents, alumni and the broader community now have easier access to the information they are seeking about Temple with the launch of a newly redesigned website at temple.edu. Congratulations to Ron Vitale, Monica Buonincontri, Carissa DuPuy, Erin Mulrooney and Angela Showell! Read more.

Facilities Update: One of the positive outcomes of our expanding staff is we need to rethink our office space and structure in TASB. To this end, Institutional Advancement has implemented a moving plan. Click here for more information on the new IA seating arrangement.

Prospect Research and Gift Accounting: Many of you work closely with your deans to cultivate and solicit key donors for departmental support. If you would like to provide them with access to Self Service Banner (SSB) for the most current information and contact history for prospects, please contact Joan Steiner at 7-4655 or jsteiner@temple.edu. She will notify you when they can begin to use SSB and follow up with training, if necessary. Click Here for more important mailing and lockbox information.
