Senior Spotlight: Stefanie Schwab, Rowing
4/9/2020
A two-year member of the Owls, Stefanie Schwab made the team after a grueling try-out process to join the novice squad for the 2018-19 season. A quick learner, she rowed in the stroke seat in both fours and eights during her first year with the team. She won gold at the 2019 Kelly Cup and added a silver medal from the Eastern Sprints the same season. Schwab will graduate from the Fox School of Business in May, with a degree in Human Resource Management.
Owlsports.com caught up with Schwab, as she finishes her final semester at Temple.
In the book of your life, what’s the title of the Temple chapter? Greatness Doesn't Quit.
What’s the best part about being a member of the crew team at Temple/what will you miss the most? The best part about being a member of Temple Women's Rowing is gaining so much support from the people you get to see every single day.
What is your favorite memory of being a student-athlete at Temple? My favorite memory of being a student-athlete at Temple is getting to represent Temple University and wearing a T on my chest at my first race.
If you could give advice to your freshman year self, what would it be? My advice would be to try your best to list out your priorities for the week and make sure you have time for all of them so you don't have to sacrifice things you want to do.
Where do you see yourself in five years? In five years, I see myself as an HR manager working in Philadelphia.
I'd like to thank my parents for supporting me and helping me be where I am today.Stefanie Schwab, Temple Rowing Class of 2020
