Welcome to the Division of Student Affairs! As the Division of Student Affairs provides a holistic approach to engaging and empowering our Temple students, likewise, our divisional colleagues have many opportunities to serve the Temple Community at large. Take a look at how we might help you: We keep families informed and confident that their students are in good hands. We welcome our alumni to visit and enjoy our growth, not to mention share how their Temple educations formed their unique places in the world. We like to work with faculty and hope they take advantage of our diversity when they draw up syllabi, notice a student in need, or want to encourage career plans. We serve our campus colleagues in all departments and look forward to collaborating on our students’ holistic development. We value the local community and hope to serve the citizens we surround with respect, opportunity, and lots of cool things to do.

Congrats to Our '23 Student Commencement Speaker!
Melanie Smith
Melanie Smith is an exemplar of the university's motto, Perseverance Conquers, as she has consistently challenged herself to achieve more as a student and member of the Temple community. She completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from Boyer College of Music and Dance and challenged herself to also successfully pursue a minor in Political Science from the College of Liberal Arts. She has participated in many organizations and activities around campus and in Philadelphia. Most notably, perhaps, she has been a standout Owl Ambassador since 2021 - welcoming countless new students and families and positively impacting the trajectory of their Temple careers. During her time at Temple University, she has continuously made both academic and artistic strides toward obtaining her long-term goals while always keeping service to the university community front of mind.
