Temple University Ambler has an active, diverse community
of alumni and friends. As a member of that community, we encourage you to take part in Ambler events, to keep us informed of where you are, what you are doing, and how we can best serve your interests.
The mission of the Office of Development and Alumni
Affairs is to create an always-open bridge between the campus and our alumni and friends.
Over 1,500 of our alums are graduates from the School of Environmental Design [formerly Ambler College] (the home of horticulture, landscape architecture, and planning degree programs).
More than 12,000 campus alums are graduates from other Temple degree programs who
have taken 50% or more of their courses at the Ambler campus.
Whether you are an SED or Ambler Campus alum, this is
your online resource for news, alumni updates, and campus events.
