Before Temple’s 8-0 loss to Connecticut Friday afternoon, the Owls took the time to recognize their professors.
Players on the team acknowledged several professors, giving them badges that read “MVP: Most Valuable Professor.” Each professor stayed to watch the game, including David Smith, which was a new experience for the first-year teacher in the College of Education.
“This is my first athletics contest,” Smith said. “I love Temple. I think it is a great place to be. I’m really enjoying it.”
After attending Friday’s game, Debra Casey, a third-year professor in the Fox School of Business, will strive to attend more games.
