A big highlight of this year was the establishing of a CPCA Endowed Deanship, made possible through a generous gift from Joslyn G. Ewart ('80)! This is the first academic deanship for a non-professional school at Temple, and we are incredibly grateful for her generosity.

"I’m honored to help continue expanding the quality of education and advancing the arts at Temple for generations to come.” 🎓 Thank you, Joslyn!

Tomorrow: We're heading back to the Lemonade Stand for their second Fresh Squeezed reading, AHOY HOY! Written by our own playwriting professor Jenny Stafford, directed by recent MFA grad Dylan Cole ('25), and featuring Owls Liam Rogan and Rafi Mills, come see this laugh-out-loud comedy about That Relatable Feeling When Someone Else Invents the Telephone Three Hours Before You Do.

Inventor Elisha Gray is working on his next big invention: the telephone. After many failed attempts, Elisha and Cornelius (his eager assistant) only have the transmitter and are at a dead end. The two get a tip from Wilbur at the Patent Office that another inventor is working on the telephone. That man is Elisha’s mortal rival, Alexander Graham Bell. Will Elisha Gray invent the telephone? Will Cornelius one day become a famous inventor? Will you find out what “ahoy hoy” even means?

Tickets are Pay What You Can! See you tomorrow at the Proscenium Theater at the Drake to see AHOY HOY before it's gone!
