All new and returning students, welcome to the spring 2025 semester!  Kick off your first week with a special week-long celebration hosted by the Temple University Ambler office of Student and Campus Life!

During Weeks of Welcome, you will have a chance to meet other students, and campus staff who can let you know about all the resources available to you at Temple Ambler — the Ambler Arboretum, Temple Ambler Field Station, Academic Advising and Student Success, and more — during Welcome Week at Temple Ambler on Monday, January 13 through Friday, January 17!

Throughout the week, students are invited to discover whooooo’s hiding on campus during the Great Campus Owl Hunt! Search all around Ambler Campus for miniature owls that have been hidden away over break. When you find one, scan the QR code on the bottom of the owl to enter to win a prize! A student will be randomly chosen (one found owl = one entry) to win a free lunch!
