Giving to the College

 

Our Vision

As technology becomes increasingly important as a driving force for economic development and social evolution, strong science and technology programs are vital for any world-class university. The College of Science and Technology at Temple University is working towards dramatic progress over the next five years. From recruiting the world’s most renowned faculty to offering state-of-the-art research equipment and facilities, the College looks towards advancing a reputation for excellence in education and research. We need your help to fulfill our goals and ensure the success of the College in helping to bolster science and technology education and research in the United States.

College Priorities

Students - Scholarships and Fellowships

The College seeks to honor the many talented students who have demonstrated outstanding achievements in academics, research and leadership. To do this, scholarships and cash awards provide the College with the opportunity to attract competitive students, advance the tradition of academic excellence and assist students that may be affected by the financial burden of tuition. The generosity of our alumni and friends is crucial to this priority.

Faculty -Teaching Awards, Research Start-Up Funds, Endowed Chairs

Teaching Awards
 CST teaching awards enhance the portfolio of our faculty, ultimately making them more competitive for University and national awards. These awards are presented to faculty members who have demonstrated steadfast commitment to science education, excellence in research and dedication to the advancement of the College.

Providing research start-up funds
Research in science and technology today is a highly competitive enterprise. Most of the nation’s top-tier universities offer a sizable fund for starting assistant professors to set up their laboratories. The new research results form a basis for competing federal funding for continuing the research.

Establishing Chair Professorships
Chair Professorships are prestigious incentives that are necessary to attract the most qualified faculty members.

Research

Research - Named lectureships
Named lectureships will focus attention on the University and draw scientists from across Temple and throughout the region. The lectureships will arise from partnerships with local and regional industry, and will serve to promote Temple University and the College as a leader in interdisciplinary scientific endeavors.

Research - Instrumentation facilities
CST will aggressively seek funding opportunities to establish first-class research facilities, providing interdepartmental and interschool researchers with access to the tools needed for excellence.

Facilities

Improving the quality and amount of available research space is critical to the success of faculty development. Additionally, providing state-of-the art classrooms and lab space is crucial to attracting and retaining the nation’s most talented students.

Community

Content preparation of science teachers in middle schools
The new CST leadership has a proven national record in improving the teaching of science by reforming the infrastructure in school districts through in-service education to teachers. The proposed program would offer a content-intensive Masters program to middle school science teachers which would establish measurable and dramatic improvements for students across the country. Scholarships for teachers are an important way to attract them to this program and provide support for their efforts.

Community - High school student summer programs
CST currently participates in the Temple Summer Academy for high school students by offering a successful program in molecular life sciences. This program allows high school students to engage in active research projects and earn college credit. One of the goals of the program is to attract top students to Temple and into science research and professions.
