A Visionary Leader

President-elect NAME brings to Temple a forward-thinking, engaged approach to leadership in higher education and commitment to the mission and values that continue to drive our institution. He/she is a celebrated faculty member, dean, president [update for previous titles/positions] for all who know him/her.

From the very start, it became clear that Temple needed a leader who has served as president at another high-level research university, as well as someone who knows and loves Philadelphia. In John Fry, we have found all that and more. With Fry’s proven vision and leadership, we have no doubt that he will have an incredible impact at Temple. We are so pleased to welcome him as our president-elect.”
