Founded as a night school in 1884, Temple University has evolved into an international powerhouse in higher education and a top-tier research institution with roughly 40,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students. As the largest university in one of the nation’s most iconic cities, Temple educates diverse future leaders from across Philadelphia, the country and the world. The university’s motto is “Perseverance Conquers.”

Temple’s Board of Trustees unanimously confirmed Temple’s Provost Gregory Mandel on December 21, 2021. With the confirmation, Provost Mandel became the university’s chief academic officer and will oversee its broad portfolio, which includes 17 schools and colleges and various administrative offices. Mandel was a member of the Beasley School of Law faculty, including as dean. He joined me for a wide-ranging fireside chat to share reflections on his professional journey and lessons on leadership.
