PHILADELPHIA - A total of 70 Temple University student-athletes participated in Thursday's 123rd annual Commencement ceremonies at the Liacouras Center. The Commencement exercises celebrated the achievements of the largest graduating class in Temple history with a total of 8,215 graduates.
Among those participating were three-time men's basketball Atlantic 10 Championship team member Ryan Brooks (Narberth, Pa.), All-American fencer Kristin Howell (San Antonio, Texas), football's Steve Maneri (Bound Brook, N.J.), who signed a free agent contract with the NFL's Houston Texans last month, Brittney McRae (Bronx, N.Y.), member of Temple's first-ever Atlantic 10 Outdoor Track & Field Championship team, as well as Jackie Morrison (Stony Brook, N.Y.), second-team All-Atlantic 10 Conference volleyball player and a graduate of the University's Honors program.
“It is a day of celebration for Temple Athletics,” Director of Athletics Bill Bradshaw said. “We are most proud of our student-athletes' success in the classroom. This is a reflection of a reorganized academic support system which has helped bolster our APR scores. Our head coaches are to be congratulated for playing critical roles in this success.”
The 70 student-athletes represented all 24 of Temple's intercollegiate sports. Football had the most graduates with 11, while men's track followed with nine. The numbers include summer 2010 and fall 2009 graduates.
