TUTV presents a multimedia profile of an exemplary Temple student who documented and highs and lows of what the Mens Crew team thought would be their last season.
Media and Communication student Kara Milstein didn’t know what she was getting into when she took on an assignment for The Temple News to photograph the recently cut Mens Crew team this past winter. But as soon as the then freshman started attending early morning practices, she felt there was a story to tell, one that ultimately came to embody redemption as they later became the sole cut team to be reinstated.
Watch the video below to hear Kara explain in her own words what the project meant to her and what she learned about the kind of commitment it takes to be a student athlete.

On Tap is a documentary made by Temple students that explores the rising popularity of craft beer and its impact on the American beer market, specifically in the Philadelphia region. Patrons, fans, and owners of craft breweries are interviewed to give insight into why these flavorful brews have caught on.
Prior to the craft beer trend, American beer was considered to be limited to three brands: Budweiser, Miller, and Coors. Now craft breweries are expanding the palate of American beer drinkers by producing smaller batch brews with more experimental, intense flavors.
The emergence of craft beer has also allowed beer fans to engage in other positive movements, such as supporting the local economy and their community and practicing sustainable consumer habits.
Owners of local breweries (Tom Kehoe of Yards, Scott Rudich of Round Guys Brewing Company) and pubs (Fergie Carey of Belgian Cafe, Monk’s) are highlighted through interviews in this short film.
On Tap was produced by Robert Chaz Flores, Ryan Hallas, Caitlin McHale, Lydia Peterson and Abby Zeppenfelt for Professor Kristine Trever Weatherston’s Media Studies & Production class.
The program airs Friday May 16 at 12:30 and 8:30 p.m. on Comcast channel 50, Verizon 45 and online.

Bouncing Back tackles Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in its latest episode, which airs Wednesday, April 9 at 12:30 and 8:30 p.m.
Host Lisa Bien invites student Ethan Wasserman to share how his life has been impacted since receiving a diagnosis of ADHD in kindergarten. Ethan describes how this disorder not only made it hard for him to succeed academically, but also caused him to feel mentally inferior, which in turn damaged his self-esteem.
However, he turned his life around and bounced back after coming to Temple and utilizing the Wellness Resource Center (HEART) on campus. He has since learned how to cope with ADHD and has become a peer educator and mentor at Temple. His mission now is to educate others about ADHD.
To provide clinical and general insight into this condition, Lisa Bien invited Lauren Highsmith, a Temple alumna and current Student Resources Coordinator for the University’s Disability Resources and Services department, to the set of Bouncing Back.
Hear the full story tomorrow online anywhere or on Comcast 50/Verizon 45 within Philadelphia city limits.

Franck Ouattara and Noël Zalla decided to recreate the music video at Temple, featuring easily recognizable Temple sights like the Bell Tower and Liacouras Walk. Watch the energetic and cheerful video below:
