Dear Students and Colleagues, Whether you are joining this community for the first time this fall or returning as a student, faculty or staff member, I am delighted to welcome you to Temple University for the start of the 2025-26 academic year. This week, we will welcome more than 8,700 new undergraduate, graduate and professional students who will begin their studies here at Temple. It is an impressive group of hard workers, critical thinkers and passionate learners.
