Weeks of Welcome is a deliberate effort to present a unified welcome to new students and is an opportunity for all of Temple University’s departments and student organizations to inform students about their programs, services, and students connect with one another, showcase the many resources available to students, and introduce students to urban living and the wider Philadelphia community.

Homecoming and Family Weekend is a university-wide event made possible by the intentional cross-campus collaboration that celebrates current students, alumni, and Temple family members. Events are offered throughout the week to build community, celebrate Temple pride, and welcome alumni and family members back to campus. Signature events for family members include sightseeing tours of Philadelphia, Family Bingo, and Family Brunch with student performances.

Mid-Term and Finals Breaks is programming that occurs during peak exam time to allow students to destress and focus on their health and well-being.

Night Owl Events are a series of free late-night programs that provides students with engaging social events that occur during evening hours on Weekend (Thursday-Saturday) evenings. These events are alcohol-free programs that provide students with unique opportunities to connect with one another. From First Friday Bingo and various themed nights, Night Owl Events provides fun, and quality entertainment!

Leadership and Engagement Awards serve as an opportunity to recognize outstanding student leaders and organizations for their achievements and tremendous contributions to Temple University and the Philadelphia community. We plan to celebrate the accomplishments virtually this year and invite you to attend. Awards are presented to individuals, advisors, and student organizations recognizing leadership, programming, innovation, and creativity. The call for nominations usually begins early in the spring semester for a late April ceremony.
