Young Alumni in New York
More than 5,400 recent Temple graduates live in metro New York City! The club is excited to introduce the formation of our new Young Alumni Committee for members of the classes of 1998 through 2009. Spearheaded by former Temple cheerleader Andrea Wytish, SCT ’97, the committee will begin to hold regular meetings this summer to plan new and exciting social events, educational programs and networking opportunities to stablish a young alumni affinity community in the Big Apple. On April 25, the committee held the first Young Alumni event, a happy hour at Slate Bar, with “Temple-tinis” and guest bartender Bridget McMullen, TYL '08. Look for other events soon!

Temple faculty, staff
and students make headlines
every day. Read a sampling
of Temple's recent
media hits.
From The Wall Street Journal:
WSJ's "Law Blog" reported on an unusual debate that has emerged about Supreme Court nominees. The subject: the Socratic method. The opening salvo was fired by Professor David Hoffman of Temple's Beasley School of Law, who blamed the Socratic method for creating a warped standard for measuring the quality of lawyers and judges. "We don’t want the smartest justice. We want the wisest. Or at least someone who understands that smartness correlates with wisdom about as well as law does to justice," wrote Hoffman. More.
From USA Today:
From late-night television quips to designer surgical masks, some reactions to
the H1N1 influenza outbreak, better known as swine flu, have been silly.
For those who fell ill or lost loved ones, it was no laughing matter, says
Temple psychologist Frank Farley. But for many, humor has been a coping tool, he says. "It's a survival mechanism in a sense," Farley said. "Without it, we might get overwhelmed with our fear." More.
From Philly.com:
Temple student Shannon McDonald, a senior journalism major, has endured plenty of harshly critical e-mails in the aftermath of a piece she wrote for a class assignment that reported on racial slurs used by a police officer. Yet she remains convinced that she did the right thing in reporting her experiences. "The journalist's job is to be objective and to tell the story, but the community might not like it," McDonald said. More. |
