Check out CARAS Grantee Owen Barbagallo's feature in Temple Now at the link in the bio!
Owen (Geography and Urban Studies, '28) spent last summer conducting archival research on the history of the NYC public transit system for his CARAS grant. He also collected 186 station-based facts designed to make the everyday history of transit spaces more visible. From March 5–11, two of the subway facts were featured on LinkNYC kiosks (free public Wi-Fi kiosks) near their corresponding stations. The placements generated over 8,000 impressions during that week!
Congrats Owen, we hope you continue championing our public transit systems!
On Thursday, March 26th the Temple community gathered for the 33rd annual Symposium for Undergraduate Research and Creativity! Hearty congratulations to all the presenters on your accomplishments! And thank you to everyone who supported and attended the event (close to 400 people by our count)! 🎉 👏 🔥 #tusymposium2026
The Symposium is a unique opportunity for a large and diverse community like Temple to come together across disciplines to celebrate undergraduate achievements, ingenuity, and intellectual curiosity. Student presenters hailed from 10 different schools, colleges and divisions. In the audience, we spotted friends, alumni, faculty, staff, entire classes, and multiple generations of family.
To all Owls: Keep up the good work and see you at the Symposium next year!
A huge shoutout to our amazing interns who presented at the Symposium for Undergraduate Research and Creativity on main campus this past Thursday!
