An Ambler Campus Snapshot

Haines House, pictured here circa 1912, which dates back to 1760, was the original farmhouse on the campus property. It was remodeled to serve the needs of the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women.

Welcome Alumni!

Our Mission

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), while 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.

Dr. James W. Hilty
Topic: "Temple University: 125 Years of Service"
Wednesday, November 18, 7 p.m., Learning Center Auditorium

Temple University's alumni number over a quarter million, and include entertainment legend Bill Cosby and Shirley Tilghman, the first woman president of Princeton University. One of every eight college graduates in the Philadelphia area received their degrees at Temple. Temple Owls are everywhere! Temple University: 125 Years of Service to Philadelphia, the Nation, and the World, by noted historian and Temple professor and Ambler campus Dean Dr. James W. Hilty, written with Temple history instructor Matthew Hanson, offers the first full history of Temple University. It presents a rich chronicle from founder Russell Conwell’s vision to democratize, diversify, and broaden the reach of higher education to Temple's present day status as the twenty-eighth largest university and the fifth largest provider of professional education in the United States. The book captures Temple’s long record of service to its North Philadelphia neighbors, its global reach to Rome, Tokyo, and beyond, and its development from a row house campus into a lively 11,000- resident urban village at its main campus—all the while assuring "Access to Excellence." Along the way, we learn how Temple reacted to and helped shape major developments in the history of American higher education. Learn more here.
