Today’s lecture involved different leaders who are active in the variety of organizations Tyler students are a part of. They each gave a brief overview of their group and announced future meetings and contact information. Mary Jachetti was the first speaker. She talked about the Tyler Student Alliance, a group devoted to meet the needs and issues that Tyler students experience. Mary is the Tyler representative of Temple’s student government and she is looking for other students to help get the alliance back on its feet since Tyler’s relocation to Temple’s main campus. The next student discussed Temple’s Community Garden group, which aims to create gardens in the community surrounding Temple. Their project for 2010 consists of installing a garden at the Penrose Recreation Center. Another student from Produce exhibitions spoke about the importance of connecting with current artists in the area. Produce helps to bring artists to lectures and exhibitions in Tyler’s galleries. The last student who talked works with Hyphen – Temple’s literary and art magazine. Hyphen publishes both written and artistic work made by Temple students. The work is chosen in the fall semester and the layout is created during the spring. The lecture ended with a woman who came to discuss studying abroad at Temple, either for a year, semester, or summer, in places such as Rome (most popular for Tyler students).
