Mix a great education with the power of motivation and great things can happen. This quest for success is how three Sport and Recreation Administration (STHM) graduates Beth Porreca, Janine DiSalvatore and Mike Favre took part in the 2008 Beijing Olympics as United States Olympic Committee (USOC) organizers for the US Olympic team in Beijing.

On Sept. 23, 2008, Mr. Jonathan Tisch, Chairman and CEO of Loews Hotels, visited Temple University’s School of Tourism and Hospitality (STHM) as an Executive-in-Residence.

On September 13, 2008 atop The Phoenix on the Rooftop Terrace in center city Philadelphia, Temple’s School of Tourism and Hospitality Management (STHM) celebrated its 10th anniversary party. Industry partners joined STHM faculty, staff, and alumni as we gathered to enjoy food, drink, and exceptional music, as well as to participate in a silent auction and to donate items for the 2008 STHM time capsule.

One of STHM’s many accomplishments includes building its tremendous reputation, not only in Philadelphia, but nationwide, as a prominent school and research environment in the tourism and hospitality and sport and recreation management industries.
