Ventell Bryant shattered the receiving records by a freshman with 39 catches for 579 yards. Junior Jahad Thomas earned first team all-conference honors at running back. He was explosive as a runner (3561,646-17TDs), receiver (22-216-1TD) and kick returner (6-199-1TD). His 114 points led the team and rank second behind only Bernard Pierce (162 in 2011).

Studentathlete DEVELOPMENT NUTRITION/EDUCATION COUNSELING Through a partnership with Temple’s Student Health Services, Lori Lorditch RD, LDN, provides education on sports nutrition to Temple’s student-athletes during the academic year. Team education and one-on-one counseling are available and scheduled through Sports Medicine and Strength and Conditioning, as well as upon request from student-athletes and coaches.

ACADeMIC & ATHLeTIC SUCCeSS AT TeMPLe

Temple University's approximately 450 student-athletes compete in 19 different men's and women's varsity sports-everything from football and basketball to crew and cross country. NANCY & DONALD RESNICK ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER FOR STUDENT-ATHLETES Student-athletes at Temple face unique pressures and demanding schedules as they represent Temple in the classroom, on the field, on the court and across the country. Not only do they matriculate at an extremely diverse comprehensive learning environment, but they also compete in some of the nation's top athletic conferences. They enjoy an active lifestyle in the world-famous city of Philadelphia. And they have the enthusiastic and dedicated support of the Nancy & Donald Resnick Academic Support Center for Student-Athletes, better known as the Resnick Center. The Resnick Center falls under the guidance of Temple's Senior Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies, which oversees undergraduate academic affairs at Temple, ensuring the teaching and learning success of faculty and students. From admission through graduation, the Resnick Center provides advising, tutoring, specialized services, assistive technology and more to all Temple University student-athletes. Every step of the way, we do everything we can to help our Temple Owls be the best students-and the best athletesthey can be.

STUDENT-ATHLETE CAREER STUDENT-ATHLETE WELFARE The development of Temple’s student-athletes transcends the classroom and training facilities. Temple Athletics takes a holistic approach to student-athlete welfare. From career services to programming and services addressing mental health concerns, Temple University has demonstrated a commitment to providing exceptional resources to ensure a comprehensive student-athlete experience. MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVES Continuing to expand on an already successful program implemented last year, Temple Athletics established a relationship with Dr. Craig Cohen to further diversify the mental health resources available to student-athletes. Dr. Cohen provided regular, one-on-one counseling sessions for a number of student-athletes across nearly all teams - scheduled with practically no wait for the students. Additionally, a partnership was formed between Temple’s Psychological Services Center (PSC), managed by the College of Liberal Arts' Department of Clinical Psychology, to provide regular, on-sight behavioral health coaching for student-athletes. PSC Staff, under the leadership and supervision of Director, Dr. Catherine Panzarella, conducted an eight-week study of Temple Athletics' needs and student-athletes' perceptions of mental health resources. Considerations Regarding Improving Behavioral Health Services for Temple Student-Athletes provided valuable insight on the perceptions of coaches and student-athletes, while also offering recommendations for services that will serve as guidelines for future mental health initiatives.

SERVICES In 2015-16, staff in the Resnick Academic Support Center for Student-Athletes worked to invigorate career services for student-athletes in an attempt to expose them to resources that will assist in their assimilation into the workforce after their playing careers end. Throughout an enhanced partnership with the Career Center, Karen Demmler, Career Coach, was assigned to work directly with student-athletes and she began providing on-sight career coaching sessions in the Resnick Center. Working closely with the Career Center’s Employer Partnerships Team, Temple hosted two Career Networking Events for Student-Athletes, where employers and student-athletes connected on campus to discuss various employment possibilities. Temple’s student-athletes were also welcomed to the headquarters of Independence Blue Cross (IBX) in Center City Philadelphia for an open house event, where they learned about the organizational culture at IBX and the value they place on student-athletes as candidates for employment. Temple’s Career Center also hosted two part-time/summer employment fairs for student-athletes looking for opportunities to gain experience and earned additional income in the summer months. Recognizing that many Owls opt to continue their education after earning their undergraduate degrees, Temple Athletics partnered with KAPLAN, the leader in graduate test preparation resources, to allow student-athletes to apply for test prep courses at no cost. Sixteen student-athletes participated in GRE, GMAT, MCAT or LSAT prep courses throughout the spring semester, when the program was unveiled. Working to establish a departmental- and campus-wide culture of celebrating the professional lives of student-ath-

to return to full participation in not only the sports world but also the classroom.

MISSIOn STATeMenT

As a highly motivated team of professionals, we strive to provide an excellent standard of care to all our Temple student-athletes, who compete at the highest level of intercollegiate athletic competition, and in doing so aid in developing outstanding leadership experiences for our Temple Owls. Through sound medical and rehabilitative principles, excellent care, and proper consideration given to both the personal and team goals of each student-athlete, this goal can be achieved.

letes, the Resnick Center worked closely with Temple Athletics’ Creative Services team introduced an innovative and exciting “Pro Owls” campaign. This unique social media initiative used a graphic for each student-athlete who reported an internship, graduate school acceptance or full time employment, which was subsequently posted on various social media outlets. Culminating the academic year and following a number of programs, 63 student-athletes traveled to New York City in April for an exciting event hosted by Douglas Maine (’71) of Brown Brothers Harriman called "Owls on Wall Street.” This unique opportunity gave student-athletes a chance to learn from leaders of various industries (law enforcement, media and entertainment, sports, real estate, finance, physical therapy), network with alumni and be exposed to a taste of professional life at one of Wall Street’s most prestigious firms. NEW STUDENT-ATHLETE ORIENTATION As new students are welcomed to the “nest", Temple Athletics’ Office of Compliance & Student-Athlete Affairs and the Resnick Academic Support Center for Student-Athletes are prepared to focus on their successful transition to university life. Prior to the beginning of the fall semester, all new student-athletes meet for a day of programming and special events. The 2015-16 year featured guest presentations from Athletics Director, Dr. Patrick Kraft, Dr. Scott Gratson from the School of Media & Communications, Faculty Athletics Representative, Dr. Jeremy Jordan, and Justin Miller, Senior Director of the Resnick Center for StudentAthletes. Orientation is concluded with a campus scavenger hunt and followed by the department’s all student-athlete Welcome Back. ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is dedicated to promoting and maintaining student-athlete wellbeing, academic excellence, personal development and community involvement. EVENTS Each year the SAAC works to involve student-athletes in numerous events to help not only the community, but their own student-athlete morale. Previous events have included “Special Olympics,” a SAAC talent show, and the group’s marquis annual event, “Celebration of Champions.” In addition to these special events, the student-athletes regularly give back to the community and are leaders of Temple’s campus. SPORTS MEDICINE

VISIOn STATeMenT

All student-athletes are entitled to the state-of-the-art care that can be provided while here at Temple University. The Sports Medicine Team and the Team Physician collaborate in order to coordinate, provide and deliver the appropriate preventative services, rehabilitative services, and treatment options to each student-athlete in a professional setting. The NCAA, affiliated conferences and the University have specific guidelines that must be followed by the Athletics Department, team physicians, athletic trainers, coaches, and student-athletes. It is the goal of the Sports Medicine Team to keep each student-athlete safe, healthy, and injury-free. In the event of an injury or illness, the Sports Medicine Team will provide quality medical care that enables the student-athlete

MISSIOn STATeMenT

To provide a combination of Strength & Speed disciplines in a safe manner that will enable Temple University to possess the strongest, fastest, and most explosive college athletes in the nation - PERIOD.

MeTHODOLOGY

Temple University Strength & Conditioning Department’s goal is to enhance athletic performance through 6 components: strength training, power and explosion development, flexibility, speed & agility training, core training, and nutrition; combined with injury prevention, increased confidence and a positive self image. Our purpose is to train athletes for their maximal performance in athletic competition. The role of this department is to put to action the highest level of education and resources needed to maintain the optimal level of competition for each individual athlete. The foundation of Owl Strength & Conditioning is based on the tenets of Accountability, Consistency, Organization, Competition, Education, and Atttitude. We utilize Team-Based Training because having teams lift together provides another opportunity to develop chemistry, teamwork, leadership skills, and a competitive environment that will carry over to the field of play. We want to cultivate an atmosphere where the athlete is constantly provided feedback and can evaluate him/herself for weaknesses and able to put in the extra work to correct or modify any deficiencies in order to develop better athleticism for their particular sport.

AVENUE OF TREATS (WITH THE BEECH COMPLEX) On Halloween evening, Temple student-athletes from a number of teams participated in the 9th Annual Avenue of Treats, an event that provides a fun and safe atmosphere for trick-or-treating. The student-athletes were located along Broad Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue, handing out candy to local children in costumes. The annual event is hosted by Beech Community Services, who engages Temple and other local businesses to join their efforts and provide candy to the children who live in and around the community. SPECIAL OLYMPICS Over 150 student-athletes from 15 of Temple's varsity sports teams volunteered at the Fall Festival hosted by Villanova, the largest annual student-run Special Olympics event in the world. The Owls had a record number of volunteers participate at the event from Nov. 7-8. The Fall Festival hosts over 1,000 Special Olympics athletes, 400 coaches, and 2,000 volunteers from the Villanova Student Body, surrounding community, and corporations. The athletes who participate in the Fall Festival compete in a total of six Olympic-type sports including bocce, long distance running, power-lifting, roller skating, soccer and volleyball. However, sporting events are just a small component of the overall weekend. Villanova's campus is transformed into an athlete's wonderland, incorporating Opening Ceremonies; a parade; Healthy Athlete screenings; an Olympic Town offering face painting, food and fun; a Victory Dance; and Closing Ceremonies.

“IT’S ON US” CAMPAIGN In 2014-15, Temple University and Temple Athletics proudly joined the White House, universities and companies around the country in furthering the effort to end sexual assault on college campuses. The "It's On Us" initiative is a cultural movement aimed at fundamentally shifting the way we think, talk about and act around the issue of sexual assault. The initiative asks everyone – men and women – to make a personal commitment to holding themselves and each other accountable and realize that the solution begins with us. In 2015-16, Temple University’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee was named the winner of the NCAA Division I SAAC It’s On Us video contest Temple’s video debuted on arena big screens in Houston and Indianapolis before the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Final Four semifinal games, respectively. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY OF SERVICE Student-athletes spent Martin Luther King, Jr. Day volunteering their time to help the local Philadelphia community. Groups of Owls participated in a variety of service projects at Berean Presbyterian Church, Alliance for Progress Charter School, and the National Temple Baptist Church. NATIONAL GIRLS AND WOMEN IN SPORTS DAY The Athletics Department hosted an event on Wednesday, April 6, celebrating the 30th Annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD). Local students in grades eight and below from the Philadelphia area came to Temple's Pavilion and tennis courts where they participated in clinics with student-athletes from many of Temple's sports programs. ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16

It was fourth straight year in which Temple Athletics has hosted such an event. Many of the local girls at this year's event came from nearby Duckrey Elementary School at 15th and Diamond Streets. Other students also came from William McKinley School and William H. Hunter School. WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES Over 100 male Temple student-athletes tried their hand at walking in heels, particpating in the "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" event on campus. Every year, college students around the country participate in the walk to raise awareness for sexual and gender violence. Members of the Temple football, men's cross country, men's basketball, and men's soccer team participated, along with over 150 other Temple students at the annual event. In addition to the support of the male student-athletes who participated in the walk, members of the Temple lacrosse, field hockey, volleyball, rowing, gymnastics, fencing, and Diamond Gems also volunteered at the event.

FACILITIES/CAPITAL PROJECTS Temple Athletics is committed to providing first-class facilities for all nineteen varsity sports. In an era when colleges and universities are striving to recruit elite student-athletes and coaches to provide the most competitive programs in the country, facilities have become a critical component of success. Building and maintaining outstanding facilities is integral to attracting and retaining top-tier talent. Facility improvements within Temple Athletics have been substantial over the last few years as evidenced by the expansion of Edberg-Olson Hall, completion of the Pearson-McGonigle basketball practice facility, renovated locker rooms for all varsity sports, renovated Olympic sport weight room, field turf replacement at Chodoff Field, and expansion of the Donald and Nancy Resnick Academic Support Center. Projects currently underway include the renovation of rowing facilities at the East Park Canoe Club, the completion of Temple Owls Sports Complex and continuing improvements throughout our athletic facilities. The Athletics Department is constantly assessing Temple’s facilities in order to provide the best venues for our students to train and compete. Private giving through the Temple Owl Club will be pivotal for the success of all future projects.

ENDOWMENTS Endowments are gifts that keep on giving. Endowments are permanently invested by Temple University and generate earnings and interest for the purpose you choose to support; scholarships, coaches, facility maintenance, sport-specific program support, and much more. A gift to the endowment program is invested into a pool of funds managed by the University. A portion of the earnings from the investment provides annual support to the designated area. The remaining earnings are reinvested to grow the endowment to provide support in perpetuity. To learn more about establishing an Endowment Fund or supporting an existing fund, please contact the Temple Owl Club at 215-204-CLUB (2582).

Remembering Temple Athletics in a will or living trust is an accessible and easy way to express your support. Special arrangements may enable you to plan a gift that will reduce taxes on your estate, provide capital support, or establish an endowment in your name or in memory of a loved one. Whichever option you choose, a bequest costs nothing now and yet gives the immediate satisfaction of achieving your philanthropic goals, while providing critical financial support to Temple Athletics. If you have included Temple Athletics in your estate plans or to learn more about leaving a legacy, please contact the Temple Owl Club at 215-204-CLUB (2582).

T-CLUB MISSION

The mission of the T-Club is to provide members with the opportunity to foster and maintain long-term relationships with coaches, teammates, and the university’s athletic department. The T-Club strives to strengthen the bond between Temple Letterwinners, to enhance the history and traditions of Temple University, and to create a culture where members can return and support athletic programs.
