Go inside the International Space Station with TUTV!

Posted August 12, 2014

TUTV expands upon its initial broadcast of Space Station Live to bring you The Journey Continues, which builds on the original interview with NASA astronauts living in space to give you a more in-depth look at life in space.

The original interview with Koichi Wakata, Rick Mastracchio, and Michael Hopkins that aired live from outer space on February 27, 2014 is included, but that’s not all! Commander Suni Williams gives us an inside look into the living center of the ISS and gets into the nitty gritty of how they manage to sleep, brush their teeth, use the bathroom, prepare food, and more, all in zero gravity. Later, Temple student Nick Lucier talks to Professor John Helferty–without whom this program may never have happened–about his life-long love of space.

Check out this special program to get real insight into what it’s like to live in space. The show premieres Thursday, August 18 at 1 p.m. and re-airs at 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Watch online.

Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Lady Vanishes” comes to TUTV

Posted July 25, 2014

TUTV’s Classic Movie Saturdays continues August 2 with Hitchcock’s witty and compelling comic thriller from 1938.

The Lady Vanishes concerns a young English tourist traveling by train in Europe (played by Margaret Lockwood) who discovers that her elderly traveling companion (Dame May Whitty) seems to have disappeared from the train. After her fellow passengers deny ever having seen the elderly lady, the young woman is helped by a musicologist (a young Michael Redgrave), and the two proceed to search the train for clues to the old woman’s disappearance, which results in many plot twists and unexpected developments.

The film will play Saturday, August 2 at 12:30 and 8:30 p.m.

How do you overcome the loss of a loved one?

Also on set is a therapist at Tuttleman Counseling Services who specializes in working with grief and loss. She gives insight into the process of grieving and how that can take different forms for different individuals.

H. F. “Gerry” Lenfest lecture on success to air Thursday

Posted July 9, 2014

TUTV will air the first in the new Provost Lecture Series designed by Provost Dr. Hai-Lung Dai. The series was inaugurated by the entrepreneur, philanthropist and community leader, H. F. “Gerry” Lenfest, whose speech, entitled “From Media Mogul to Philanthropist,” explained to students how he made a fortune in the cable business—and why he has worked so hard to give it away.

Lenfest, who was appointed to the Temple University Board of Trustees last year, has donated millions of dollars to local and national causes, including education, the arts and disadvantaged youth. He has supported scholarships for rural students and has served on the boards of the Curtis Institute of Music and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

At Temple, Lenfest’s support made possible the Joe First Media Center in the School of Media and Communication. He also provided for the renovation of Lew Klein Hall in the Performing Arts Center, where Lenfest delivered his remarks.

The Provost Lecture Series aims to connect students’ education to the real world by bringing in experts and successful alumni to campus to discuss contemporary issues.

The lecture will air Thursday, July 10 at 1 p.m and re-air at 9 p.m.

Watch a video profile of student photographer Kara Milstein

Posted June 16, 2014

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.
