‘Caucasia’ author to visit Main Campus

At Temple, however, project organizers have broadened that concept by folding their book selection, Caucasia by Danzy Senna, into a “Color and Character” theme for first-year students during the fall 2004 semester. The project peaks on Sept. 14 when Senna visits Main Campus. She will give a Universitywide address, sign books and discuss the creative writing process during a lecture sponsored by the English department. [more]

		This Week in Temple History September 1, 1994 The University cleared the last obstacle in the way of its plans to build Temple Children’s Medical Center, receiving City Council’s approval for zoning changes at the site on North Broad Street between Venango and Tioga streets. Temple broke ground in October 1994, and the $39 million facility opened in 1998 with 60 beds, since increased to 74. The hospital also brought the Shriners Hospital for Children, a longtime Temple partner, into its fold. The Shriners Hospital had sought to move from its home on Roosevelt Boulevard.
