Here's a look at what's been happening on campus this semester.

This semester presented us with challenges never seen before. But, as Owls, we persevered— overcoming obstacles and adapting to new ways of living and learning while following necessary health and safety precautions.

Although the majority of classes this semester were moved online, some courses deemed essential continued to allow students to meet in person to rehearse music and dance together, paint in studio spaces, perform science research in labs, and engage in real-world learning—while wearing face masks and practicing physical distancing. As well, with the number of COVID-19 cases among our community remaining low, students living on and near campus were able to take advantage of many opportunities to use Temple’s array of world-class resources and facilities.
