The Wardrobe – Professional Attire Resource
We know that recruiting, interviewing, and networking can be stressful, but we hope deciding what to wear is not. To ensure that every Temple student has access to stylish attire that inspires confidence for interviews and at all other professional interactions, Temple University Career Center partners with The Wardrobe to offer everyone free professional attire. Through the Wardrobe, you will meet with a professional shopper (either in person or virtually) who will help you find the attire you need. For more details on this program, please contact briache.pinder@temple.edu.
Fall 2020 Saturday Exam Request – Part-Time Students Only
The law school is offering Upper Level Evening Students the option to move exams to either Saturday, December 12 or December 19. Interested students should complete the form at this link: https://forms.gle/BDQukR95oU4DToh49 Understand that though Dean Bretschneider and Associate Director Walden will be proctoring the exams, there will not be a member of the Technology Staff present and so any technology issues will be handled by members of the Student Affairs team. Please also note that, consistent with Law School rules, you will not be permitted to take an exam early. You can only move an exam that was originally scheduled for administration on a date that is prior to the selected Saturday.

Take a look at the Spring 2021 School Designed Practicum Courses if you have not done so already. A Practicum combines an experiential learning project with supervision and evaluation by a member of the full time faculty. Please see each individual description to learn what material to submit, to whom you should submit the material, and the respective deadline. Questions? Contact Mai Le at mai.le@temple.edu. We look forward to seeing your applications!
