Business Deal

The Fox School of Business has announced a new 5 percent scholarship, now offered to alumni of Temple’s undergraduate programs who will begin earning MBA degrees in fall 2010.

Lifelong learning for senior scholars

Registration is open for Senior Scholars spring courses, and classes are filling up fast! Through the Senior Scholars program, alumni and their spouses/partners age 50 and up can audit courses taught by Temple’s renowned professors alongside current undergraduate students. At $100 per course, it’s an opportunity not to be missed.

Some perennial favorites and new additions include:

• Philadelphia Arts & Culture
• Shakespeare in Movies
• Sustainable Environments
• Superpower America
• Fundamentals of Horticulture

Visit myowlspace.com/seniorscholars to view the spring course offerings and to register for the upcoming semester. Registration closes on Monday, Jan 4.

Temple supports LGBT students and alumni

Earlier this month, the Queer Student Union — Temple’s largest student organization for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersexual and allied students — hosted a National Coming Out Week resource fair and rally at the Bell Tower. Hundreds of students and employees, as well as representatives from more than a dozen student and community organizations showed their support of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersexual and allied students.  Read the Temple Newsroom story.

When students graduate, the Temple  network for LGBTQIA continues …  Temple LGBT Alumni is an active affinity group that hosts happy hours, reunions, and most recently, a very cool project co-sponsored by Temple Theaters and the soon-to-open Baptist Temple: “The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later” in Tomlinson Theater.

I want to be a senior scholar, too.

Senior Scholar registrations are flowing in for the fall semester, making me want to head back to the classroom too. As I’m seeing the classes that alumni are signing up for, I too want to cultivate my green thumb in Fundamentals of Horticulture, find my inner Kate Chopin in The Short Story or figure out why some people are so strange in The Workings of the Mind.

Classes are filling up quickly, so register today (or at least before August 14 when registration closes down.) Check out myowlspace.com/seniorscholars for more information.
