The Student Training and Rewards System (STARS) is a voluntary program designed to motivate Temple University student organization leaders, through incentivized challenges and programs. Completion of the challenges and programs does not assess the quality of an organization, but does provide the opportunity to gain tools for organizational success. Rewards for participation in the STARS initiative include development of leadership skills, additional promotion by Student Activities, and perks or discounts for Student Activities' events.
