Aelon Porat
Major: Information Systems and Risk Management
Hometown: Jerusalem, Israel
Nickname:
“Turkish Coffee” (because I drink a lot of it.)
Name of High School and its Mascot:
Jerusalem Sieff and Marks
What I wanted to be when I grew up:
Definitely a firefighter until I was 8. Then a drummer. To this day I wish I could drum.
Best thing about being in college:
The freedom to dream.
Why I chose Temple:
The great atmosphere: a lot of people from all over, friendly professors and a very good business school.
Favorite campus hangout:
On the grass next to the Bell Tower, in front of Paley Library.
Favorite food on campus:
The Chinese truck next to Ritter Hall. Check out their Lemon Chicken, it's a bit spicy but tastes great.
What are your future plans?
Good question. Probably stay in the U.S.A, although it's not such an easy decision to make. I would like to get involved in an innovative technology field, combining my two majors — Information Systems and Risk Management.
