Since 1884, Temple University alumni have overcome poverty, hardship and disappointment to achieve greatness. Daniel Aaron, a refugee from Nazi Germany, grew up in foster care and went on to co-found Comcast Cable, the largest cable television provider in the United States. Theo-Ben Guriab was born in apartheid Namibia and became president of the United Nations General Assembly. Edith Windsor, a daughter of immigrants, brought a case before the Supreme Court at the age of seventy-seven ensuring that all gay people in the United States receive equal protection under the law. Author Ronnyjane Goldsmith, who received her BA, MA and PhD from Temple, presents thirty inspiring profiles of what it means to be Temple Made. The author' s proceeds from the book are dedicated to the Temple University Alumni Scholarship Fund established by the author to assist future alumni.
After spending the better part of my professional life on this campus, I thought I understood Temple' s tremendous contributions over more than a century. But the breadth of achievements chronicled in this book truly deepened my appreciation for our shared legacy. Many of the figures profiled in this well-researched collection came to Temple with modest means, but a determination to succeed. Others found their passion on our campus. Their accomplishments in the arts, sciences, politics and medicine should be a source of immense pride to every member of the Temple community. -Carolyn Adams, Professor in the Department of Geography and Urban Planning at Temple University
Public Servant. Entrepreneur. Philanthropist. Ronnyjane Goldsmith adds Author to her moniker with the publication of Temple Made: Profiles in Grit. Goldsmith, like the alumni profiled in this work, began life at the bottom and found success through luck, determination and, most importantly, grit.
