Albright Walk Dedication
Friday, September 23, Noon, Bright Hall Lounge (PLEASE NOTE LOCATION CHANGE DUE TO EXPECTED INCLEMENT WEATHER)
Phil and Barbara Albright have been dedicated supporters of the Ambler Campus and Ambler Arboretum for decades. It is only appropriate that their dedication to the campus be remembered for decades to come. On Friday, September 23, the Ambler Campus student walkway, located near the Ambler Greenhouse, will be officially dedicated as the “Albright Walk” to honor the many years of service the Albrights have given to the campus and its gardens. Phil Albright, a graduate of Temple’s Landscape Design program in 1986, and his wife Barbara donated the Ericaceous Collection in 1995, which is now part of the Native Plant Garden. Phil Albright is a founding member of the President’s Advisory Council, former Chairman of the Ambler/SED Board of Visitors, and currently serves as the Chair of the Ambler Arboretum Advisory Committee. The Albrights are community leaders and philanthropists who inspire others by example. On September 23, Ambler Campus Executive Director William Parshall, School of Environmental Design Dean Teresa Soufas, and Ambler Arboretum of Temple University Director Jenny Rose Carey will honor the many facets of the Albrights’ support to the campus. An informal reception will follow. Information: Linda Lowe at llowe@temple.edu. About the Albright Walk Dedication.

Ambler Campus Anniversary: Hilda Justice Artifacts Collection Dedication
Sunday, November 6, 1 to 3 p.m., Temple University Ambler, Bright Hall Lounge and the Hilda Justice Building, 580 Meetinghouse Road
Donations supporting the Ambler Arboretum of Temple University will be graciously accepted
The Hilda Justice Building has been an important part of the Temple University Ambler campus for 60 years. Established as the Hilda Justice Memorial Library of the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women in 1951, it was built to house a collection of 16th Century herbal volumes that then director Louise Carter Bush-Brown had donated to the school. It is fitting that 60 years later, the Hilda Justice Building will once again become a repository of history. Capping off Temple University Ambler’s year-long celebration of 100 years of academic excellence, the campus community and the public is invited to formally dedicate the “Hilda Justice Artifacts Collection,” a rich overview of the campus’ early history displayed through yearbooks, photos, tools, diaries, documents, and much more. The event will include a welcome by Temple University Ambler Executive Director William Parshall in Bright Hall Lounge. Ambler Arboretum Director Jenny Rose Carey will also provide some insight into Ambler’s place in history before the event moves to the Hilda Justice Building for a formal ribbon cutting. Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women founder Jane Bowne Haines will also be “present” for the event in the form of an historical re-enactor. Following the ribbon cutting, participants are invited to return to Bright Hall Lounge for a special tea provided by the Ambler Keystone Chapter of the Woman’s National Farm and Garden Association. Information or to register: 267-468-8001 or judy.shatz@temple.edu. About the Hilda Justice Artifacts Dedication.
