Inauguration of Temple University President, Homecoming

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.
