With a college education becoming not only more necessary but also more expensive, debt has become commonplace for young people but no less difficult to navigate. How do you bounce back from student loan debt while also beginning a career path?
Lisa Bien speaks to Jacqueline Daller, a Strategic Communications grad who, despite working full-time while in college, still accumulated $50,000 in loans.

What begins as a casual conversation between two long-time lovers quickly becomes awkward when the terms “engaged” and “married” get thrown around. Temple student and Temple Smash producer Taylor Plunkett-Clements wrote and performs, along with co-star Matthew Clark, in this short sketch that has been playing between programs on Temple TV.
Due the popularity of the reality TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race, drag has become more prominent in mainstream culture. However, not many people are aware of what it really means to be a drag queen, leading to many misconceptions regarding the performance style. Beneath the Makeup is a Temple student-produced documentary that seeks to uncover drag queen culture by following three drag performers from Philadelphia.
The documentary stars Ian Morrison, whose performance name is Brittany Lynn, one of Philadelphia’s most beloved drag queens; Joe D’Angio (aka Pissi Myles), the winner of a Philly drag competition Drag Wars (Cycle 4); and Bryan Neel (Ariel Versace), a young queen with a lot of potential. The three relate their experiences starting out in drag and motivations for getting involved in the scene.
The documentary was produced and directed by Jen DiGiovanni, Tiffany Parker, Alexa Santy, James Lamar for a course taught by Professor Kristine Weatherston.
Beneath the Makeup airs on TUTV this Friday, February 20 at 12:30 and 8:30 p.m.
Everything Went Down, a feature film by former Temple professor Dustin Morrow, will air for the first time on Temple TV this week.
The film is described as a “realist musical in the style of the beloved Irish film Once”–a very contemporary mix of drama, comedy and music.
Set in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Everything Went Down tells the story of a young college professor (played by Noah Drew) who is still in mourning since the death of his wife two years earlier when he meets a young singer-songwriter (Kate Tucker), herself lost in a struggle to maintain faith in her music while trying to make a name for herself. The film chronicles their budding friendship as the energy and beauty of her music begins to bring him back to life, and the value of her music to this man reawakens her to its merits.
Watch the TUTV premiere Thursday, February 19 at 1 and 9 p.m. online or on channels Comcast 50/Verizon 45.
When was the last time you visited the library to borrow a book? The idea of a “free” library seems sort of quaint and old-fashioned in an era when most of us feel like we can find any information we want by typing g-o-o-g-l-e on our computers. Are libraries becoming obsolete?
On this episode of Media Inside Out host Sherri Hope Culver sits down with guests to discuss the role of libraries as information literacy hubs for the 21st century.
Sherri speaks to Joe Lucia, the Dean of Libraries at Temple University, and Joe Benford, Director of Customer Engagement at the Free Library of Philadelphia, to learn how libraries are re-inventing themselves to adapt to the new informational and technological climate.
