Temple University had yet another successful homecoming week here on campus. Owls spread the spirit of cherry and white all across the city of Philadelphia.
The week’s festivities included different daily activities offered to students.
Monday, October 15: Festivities kicked off with Temple’s benefitting “Pack it up TU” event. Students got together at the Liacouras Center to break a Guinness Book Record that involved donating and packing as many backpacks with school supplies within an hour. From there all these backpacks would be donated to local schools and organizations in the Philadelphia area. The record was more than doubled from the year prior with 6026 bags. Temple Update was there to pitch in, too!
Tuesday, October 16: Students got nostalgically groovy with the Disco Revival event at the Howard Gittis Student Center. Many gathered for this 70’s themed dance class, with the opportunity to throw it back and dress up for the event. The main goal of the class was to reduce stress and anxiety from to midterms.
Wednesday, October 17: What better than a night of laughs? Students had the opportunity to purchase tickets to go see the famous actor and comedian Adam Devine perform for a live Comedy Night at the Student Center. Originally scheduled guest comedian Pete Davidson canceled due to personal reasons.
