"The collaboration between Temple University and Elmwood Park Zoo is especially significant to me," said Cherifa Nouri-Howarth, President of Elmwood Park Zoo and former field hockey student-athlete at Temple. "As a former collegiate field hockey player at Temple and current president at Elmwood, it is important to bring my two passions together. Stella, one of Elmwood Park Zoo's leading ambassadors, has been Temple's live mascot for the last 10 years. This day is going to be truly amazing. Come see where Stella lives and why our great zoo loves to collaborate with Temple University. GO OWLS!"
