Acres of Diamonds Circle Legacy Recognition

Dr. Russell H. Conwell founded Temple University on a belief and a dream. His belief was simple: that there are "acres of diamonds" all around us whose brilliance is waiting to be revealed. His dream was one of opportunity; he imagined a place where talented individuals, no matter their background, could turn hard work into a better path forward.

In 1991, Temple established the Acres of Diamonds Circle, a group of Temple alumni, faculty, staff and friends who have chosen to create a lasting legacy by including Temple in their will, living trust, qualified retirement plan, life insurance policy or donor advised fund. This decision is the ultimate gesture of giving back and empowering future generations of Temple students.

If you have provided for Temple to benefit from a gift to be received in the future, you are warmly invited to become one of Dr. Russell H. Conwell's "diamonds" in the Acres of Diamonds Circle. Please contact the Office of Gift Planning by calling (215) 926-2545, or by sending an email to tyates@temple.edu.
