After Temple officials recently cancelled the school’s long-running Spring Fling tradition due to excessive amounts of student drinking, administrators have announced they will begin to plan alternatives this fall.
Director of Student Activities Chris Carey said that in the next few weeks, Student Activities will be partnering with other organizations to brainstorm new spring programs.
“It is important to note that we are not looking for one program to replace Spring Fling, but rather programs that will achieve goals of creating school sprit and a sense of engagement among the campus community,” Carey said.
Student Body President Darin Bartholomew said he will also be a driving force in the effort.
“In the coming weeks we will be having a TSG general assembly meeting that focuses on campus life and the discussion topic that week will be ideas for a spring event that allows us to show off the great things that happen on campus and all the opportunities Temple has to offer,” Bartholomew said.
