Dear Faculty and Staff, 

Since returning to Temple a little over two years ago, I’ve heard from countless faculty, staff and alumni about the desire to reinstate the university magazine. So, I’m thrilled to share that after a six-year hiatus, Temple magazine is back with both a print edition and a digital presence.  

The pages are brimming with articles, photos and illustrations that bring Temple’s innovative projects, programs and research endeavors to life. But most importantly, the magazine features the people who make these initiatives possible and Temple’s role as Philadelphia’s public research university and one of the region’s most important anchors.

Working on a project like this is one of the best parts of our job in Strategic Marketing and Communications—celebrating the impact and global relevance of this university, which I am proud to say is also my alma mater. I am incredibly proud of the team of writers, designers and photographers who worked to make this publication possible. 

So, with the holiday season upon us, I invite you to settle in—perhaps in a cozy chair with your favorite warm beverage in hand—and read about how you, your colleagues, your current students and your former students are driving change and innovation in Philadelphia and around the world. Temple magazine is back, and I am glad to have you join us to share in this special Temple moment.

Sincerely, 

Angela Polec, FOX ’07, ’13 
Vice President for Strategic Marketing and Communications
