CST graduation ceremony on May 12 features accomplished graduates and speakers
The College of Science and Technology will hold its graduation ceremony on Thursday, May 12 beginning at 12:30 PM in the Temple University Student Pavilion on Main Campus. CST’s Class of 2011—one of its largest and most accomplished—includes 26 advanced-degree candidates and more than 300 bachelor’s degree candidates in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, computer and information sciences, earth and environmental sciences, mathematics and physics.
This year’s class also includes the first graduates of TUteach, a collaboration of CST and Temple’s College of Education. TUteach is designed to help correct the nation’s increasingly serious science and math education deficiency. TUteach students graduate with a bachelor of science in their chosen math or science field as well as with the academic and experiential qualifications necessary to earn a middle or high school teaching certificate.
The ceremony will feature remarks by Temple Board member and CST graduate, Lewis Katz. After earning his bachelor’s degree in biology at Temple, he went on to The Dickinson School of Law and to open Katz, Ettin & Levine in New Jersey. In 1998, Katz and a partner became the principal owners of the NBA’s New Jersey Nets. The next year, that partnership purchased 50 percent of the New York Yankees. In addition, Katz led the campaign to build a new Boys & Girls Club in Camden, N.J. He also established the Whittaker Student Leadership Award at Temple, given to a student who demonstrates innovative leadership in furthering student activities. In 2004, Temple honored Katz with its Alumni Distinguished Service Award.
The ceremony’s student speaker will be Jenna Leigh Fox, who will earn a bachelor’s degree in biology as well as a certificate in Spanish for the Health and Human Services Professions. She participated in the university’s Honors Program, earning recognition on the Honors Director’s List as well as on the CST Dean’s List. She is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society. She also was selected to present her research at Temple’s recent Undergraduate Research Day in Harrisburg, Pa. She has been accepted at six medical schools and also plans to pursue a master’s degree in public health.
