Class of 2023, History and Spanish
“My biggest pieces of advice for new students would be to make their college experience their own because no two Owls are the same. Also, ask for help when you need it! Temple has so many resources but it's up to you to take the first step.”

Kat Naessens
Class of 2022, Communication Studies
“I would encourage all incoming and current Temple students to take advantage of all of the wonderful resources that are right at your fingertips. Everything that Temple provides is for all of us, from day one and beyond! From campus partners, to people, and all other services offered, Temple has something that can benefit all of us in the long run if we seek it out.”
