Supporting Students Beyond the Classroom
During Temple Giving Days, alumni and friends are invited to support the Christopher and Julie Barnett Essential Needs Hub throughout the week. This centralized, welcoming space brings together food resources, housing support, emergency aid, counseling, wellness services and case management in one accessible location. The Hub is designed to ensure students have access to
- the expanded Barnett Irvine Cherry Pantry,
- emergency aid and case management,
- housing and community benefits navigation,
- mental health and wellness support,
- decompression and resilience spaces, and
- student resource and learning areas.
Gifts to the Essential Needs Hub help ensure that no Temple student has to choose between basic necessities and their education.
