Want to connect with current Honors students? Interested in giving a talk on campus about the industry you work in or your cool job? We need alumni like you to enrich the Honors experience for our current students.

If you have been looking for a way to give back, we would love to host you on campus for a day (virtually or in person!) We can set up a casual lunch with a few Honors students, put together a panel or create an evening program so students can find out what life after Temple is all about. Email honors@temple.edu with your ideas and we’ll help you get started!
