Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I am proud to bring you holiday wishes on behalf of your College of Liberal Arts Alumni Association. Temple’s first global day of service was a wonderful way to kick off the season of giving back and I was glad to see many CLA alumni participating earlier this month. You can take a look at photos from the day of service here.

On campus, it’s starting to get chilly and students are gearing up for the final few weeks of the semester. Meanwhile, the CLA Alumni Association is busy planning events for 2014. Keep an eye out for email invitations to join us at our annual basketball outing and spring cultural event.

Go Owls!
