On September 16, 2022, the Presidential inauguration of Temple University President Dr. Jason Wingard took place at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia PA. This was a historic event in that Dr. Wingard is just the twelfth president of Temple University and the first African-American president in the institution’s 137-year history.
The auspicious inauguration celebration took place during Temple University’s homecoming weekend and included: A-list guests like emcee Tamron Hall, Temple University Trustee & Emmy Award-winning TV talk show host (and Temple University alum); keynote speaker Cory Booker, U.S. Senator (a Stanford University schoolmate and best friend of Dr. Wingard); and Grammy nominee Ledisi, an American R&B and jazz recording artist, songwriter, music producer, author, and actress. Ledisi was the headline performer for a VIP gala fundraising dinner that evening.
