Conwell Society
"The first essential to progress in any department of human experience is to have something worth living for and to have something of value to give to the world."
Russell H. Conwell, Founder of Temple University
Russell H. Conwell, an orator, writer, educator, and Baptist minister, founded Temple with the mission of providing quality education to all who endeavor to learn, regardless of economic status. The Conwell Society is named in honor of the university's founder and first president, and functions on the principles that were the driving force behind his mission.
Contributors to the Conwell Society take quiet pride in the circumstances that permit their association with Temple University. For those who are able, there is no higher calling than the work of philanthropy. For those who participate, there is no finer way to render thanks and service to their university.
Benefits of Membership
Members are invited to attend all Conwell Society and alumni events, as well as all cultural and sporting events associated with the university. These occasions give members the opportunity to renew old friendships, as well as make connections with top benefactors. Conwell Society events provide members with firsthand information on activities and programs within the university, as well as give them the opportunity to informally consult with administrators on upcoming projects.
Finally, all Temple benefactors share one important reward for their gifts: the personal satisfaction of making an investment in human potential. Every gift made strengthens the university, as it helps carry out Temple's mission of superior teaching and research. In turn, your gift also strengthens the community as a whole, as Temple programs, facilities and graduates are better able to serve their community's needs.
