University ServicesTemple University Alumni AssociationSuite 100, Sullivan Hall Main Campus Your degree from Temple comes with an automatic lifetime membership in the Temple University Alumni Association (TUAA). TUAA will serve as your link to Temple whether you have just graduated or been away from the university for years. Founded in 1927, TUAA represents Temple University's 245,000 living alumni and is the umbrella organization for the 17 school and college alumni associations, the Young Alumni, and all other constituent alumni groups and regional clubs. The TUAA Board is composed of a representative from each school and college alumni association, directors-at-large, national directors, and faculty and student representatives. TUAA represents the alumni voice in university affairs. Board members serve on key university committees and on the Board of Trustees. The organization also contributes to projects that improve student life on campus and spearheads programs that allow alumni volunteers to assist current students and the surrounding community. Located on the first floor of Sullivan Hall within the Office of Institutional Advancement, the administrative offices of TUAA and the university's Office of Alumni Relations are open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The staff coordinates a variety of events and programs such as Alumni Weekend and Founder's Celebration, reunions for classes and shared interest groups, Senior Scholars, Temple on the Road, young alumni activities, student alumni association activities, and the regional clubs program. Numerous benefits such as discounted auto/homeowners' insurance, a travel program, access to campus recreation, and technical and library facilities are available to alumni through the TUAA. After graduation, be sure to keep the university informed of changes in your address or occupation by calling 215-204-7521 or e-mailing alumrel@temple.edu.

Each store stocks all required books and supplies for the campus it serves.

Academic regalia are available in the months preceding graduation.
