PHILADELPHIA - The start of the fall semester will be groundbreaking at Temple University as it marks the debut of the athletics department FLIGHT Leadership Academy.
Fourteen student-athletes, representing 11 varsity athletics teams, will comprise the inaugural class of the Academy, which identifies emerging student-athletes to educate and prepare with the skill sets to be strong, effective leaders in their sport, community, and careers. The goal of the FLIGHT Leadership Academy is to help student-athletes develop leadership skills early in their collegiate careers and provide them with the platform to practice and refine those skills on their respective teams.
