Ambler became my second home while completing both my undergrad and graduate degree. It was most appropriate that on my last day at the Ambler campus I walked the long walk to the parking lot, degree in hand.

If the students want to graduate at Ambler, give them something to smile about on graduation day and let them!

Thank you everyone for all your support! Leaders from the Ambler student organizations are going to meet with the Associate Dean of Tyler to present the petition and voice our concerns. We will ask them to review your comments as well. The meeting will take place in a few weeks. We will keep you posted! Your voices are instrumental in this effort.

Hello! I feel that if Temple-Ambler students wish to keep their graduation on the Ambler campus, then they should be allowed to do so. The campus itself is beautiful! And a much nicer location for a graduation ceremony.

As a senior student who has spent years on Ambler campus I would be very let down by a main campus graduation. Ambler campus is a beautiful place that I want my friends and family to experience at graduation!

Please leave graduation at Ambler campus! This a historic site and it is disgraceful that students are losing it.

We are the Australian parents of a landscape student who is graduating this May. We have had the honor and privilege of visiting Temple Ambler Campus and of meeting some of our daughter's professors. It was clear to us that the value placed by the students on the physical surroundings of the Campus is extremely high.
We are coming to the graduation ceremony and would like to add our voices to the request that the ceremony be retained on Temple Ambler.

Ambler Campus is a very special place and I feel the students should be able to graduate on campus! Please respect the students and they have so much pride in the grounds and it's beauty!
I had my graduation in the city and it was very inpersonal. Class of 1980
Thank you and Happy Spring!

Our school, our classes, our history has very little to do with main campus. And as a setting for a lovely event, the Ambler Campus Formal Garden has great meaning and beauty for our majors!

The landscape of the Ambler campus plays an instrumental part in the education of LA/Hort students. Please don't break the long standing tradition of allowing these students to graduate in these beautiful and historic gardens.

Please keep the LA Hort graduation on the Ambler Campus. It was such a meaningful experience to be standing amongst that gorgeous garden as I prepared to walk commencement. I thought of all the ladies that had walked before me throughout history in that dame spot & it meant so much to be on that sacred ground. The setting was perfect for the gathering afterward. There is no better photographic backdrop for this group of graduates. The garden in bloom with a variety of colors is such a wonderful metaphor for personal growth amongst a group of people who express their beauty in the world in unique ways. Its also a way for graduation guests to get to experience the arboretum, which could lead to further visitors, donors and enrollment of students. Please, don't move graduation to main campus. It would mean alot to keep it at Ambler.

My entire academic experience at Temple University revolves solely around Ambler and the surrounding Arboretum. Removing a graduation ceremony from Ambler removes any meaning or personal connection that I have to the University.
