How do you overcome the loss of a loved one?

Two people embracing one another

Professor Lisa Bien again tackles a difficult subject in a new episode of Bouncing Back, this time perhaps the hardest of all: mourning the death of a loved one.

Losing a loved one is hard enough, but coping with the aftermath can also be tough. Temple student Audrey Allen recounts her experience losing a friend and neighbor, who died at the age of 16 due to complications caused by leukemia. She explains how she only dealt with this loss many years later. 

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.

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.

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.

Watch a video profile of student photographer Kara Milstein

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.

A documentary for beer lovers airs Friday

On Tap title cardOn 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.
