Philadelphia capital campaigns

Wingard began examining university leadership at Temple before he was even offered the job, he said. There were too many direct reports to his office, so he sought to cut the number of directors and consolidate leadership. Most of his cabinet now comprises people who were already at Temple. The university this week announced the hiring of Arthur Johnson from the University of Texas as its new athletic director , and Temple is working with Korn Ferry to recruit its university secretary in addition to its institutional advancement head.

Of the university's on-again, off-again efforts to build a football stadium on campus, Wingard said there are currently no plans on the books. The Covid pandemic called a number of considerations for capital projects into question. He wants to invest more money per student to keep Temple affordable, develop the campus, hire faculty and improve career development. And we are going to be leaders in that regard. Arts and cultural institutions nationwide and in Philadelphia are facing funding issues , particularly in individual income and contributed income.

Financial troubles are causing institutions to think outside of the box. Many are making investments in technology, including The Barnes, which in launched a groundbreaking collection website. It was the first in the museum field designed to search holdings with a deep focus on visual properties — like light, line, color and space — in addition to more traditional searches by artist name, media or historical movement.

The project was funded from the dollars remaining from the original Parkway construction campaign, and other public and private funds. Kabnick and John H.

This will allow for an expansion of the Museum and creation of the new Library Gallery. The expansion will create new exhibit space, including a two-story Grand Gallery. The new galleries will connect the existing Museum galleries with both Thompson Gallery and the new Library exhibition space to create a fully interactive environment.

This will dramatically improve Museum circulation for visitors. The renovation will create the first-ever permanent Library exhibit space and connect the Library to the Museum. It will include an interactive Rare Book display, new public and private research areas, and activity space. Naming opportunities include the Library Galleries, exhibition cases, stairs on the new Grand Staircase, endowed chairs, and endowed programs.

The public is invited to support this campaign and may donate at copop.
