Beatrix Farrand, the designer of the Formal Garden, was the first female landscape architect. It is an honor to graduate within one of her designs!

Temple already deprives students at the ambler campus of adequate food choices and activities. The least they could do is let us have our ceremony at Ambler.

This historic campus should remain the site for graduation for students who take classes and complete their degrees there.

As many landscape architecture students would attest, the Ambler campus is a very special place. We've studied here, we've worked here, we've made friends close enough to consider family here, many of us have lived here, and alumni have enjoyed beautiful graduation ceremonies here. Temple University has already closed our campus dormitories (breaking a commitment made to students who were told we could live on the Ambler campus for four years), and I find it sad and troubling to learn that Temple University is taking further steps to eliminate the uniqueness of our program and of our campus; a uniqueness that drew many of us to Temple in the first place. I stand strongly against eliminating the Ambler campus graduation ceremony and hope that this ill-conceived decision is reversed. -Patrick Whealton, BSLA Class of 2012

Graduation at Ambler was beautiful and fitting for the landscape architecture and horticulture students.

The graduation ceremony was so lovely at Ambler. I strongly advocate for it to stay on the Ambler campus.

I have looked forward to graduating at the Ambler campus from the time I started this program. Temple Ambler is my home, and I want to graduate there.

The history of this campus should remain! The students study, work, and help to maintain this beautiful campus, they deserve to have their graduation held here!
