The Office of the Provost and Faculty Senate Steering Committee recently hosted an awards ceremony honoring 17 Temple faculty for their service contributions to their department or college or participation in university-wide activities.

The School of Communications and Theater selected Associate Professor Karen Turner of the Department of Journalism to received the honor.

Speakers at the Oct. 20 event, which was held in Alter Hall’s MBA Commons, included Temple Provost Richard Englert and Faculty Senate President Paul LaFollette.

“This ceremony was a wonderful opportunity to bring together a distinguished group of faculty who have made such significant contributions to their departments, schools and colleges and the university,” said Englert. “Their work continues to strengthen Temple as a vibrant urban university.”

Awards were presented to one faculty member from each of Temple’s schools and colleges. Honorees were given a certificate recognizing their outstanding service efforts.
