Welcome, Alumni and Friends of the Tyler School of Art!
As Interim Dean of the Tyler School and Vice Provost for the Arts at Temple University, I enjoy interacting with our innovative faculty and students as they embark on their individual artistic journeys.
I invite you to be a part of the Tyler community – artists at all stages of their careers, learning from and supporting one another. If you are an alumnus/a, please visit alumni.temple.edu to update your email address and contact information so that you can keep apprised of upcoming events.
There are numerous ways to support our students, faculty and the future of meaningful art. For example:
