Dr. Neil D. Theobald was selected by the Temple University Board of Trustees to be the university’s 10th president in August 2012. By fall 2013, Temple University had surpassed milestones in three vital areas under his leadership. The freshman class was the largest in five years and had the best SAT scores in Temple’s history; the university beat its previous fundraising record while almost doubling the amount of money raised for student scholarship; and in a year of declining national research funding, Temple experienced a double-digit increase in research awards.

Learn more about the events and celebrations associated with President Theobald’s inauguration at the inauguration website.

TUTV presents a screening of faculty film “Everything Went Down”

EverythingWentDownPromo

TUTV is excited to host the screening of Everything Went Down, a feature film by former Temple professor Dustin Morrow. The film will be shown in Annenberg Hall’s TV Studio 1 at 7 p.m., Thursday, September 19, followed by a Q&A with Morrow.

Everything Went Down is described as a “realist musical in the style of the beloved Irish film Once”–a very contemporary mix of drama, comedy and music.

It tells the story of a young college professor (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.

Learn more about the film at its website, www.everythingwentdown.com, or by watching the trailer.
