A brief description of the institution’s participation in an external network of anchor institutions:
Temple University is a member of the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities (CUMU)'s Anchor Learning Network.
The Anchor Learning Network (ALN) is a learning community designed to facilitate a rapid and effective advancement of the anchor mission. By leveraging a peer learning framework, ALN members systematically transform higher education to fully serve its public mission and advance the long-term social, economic, and physical well-being of our campuses and communities.
ALN members continue to make significant progress to institutionalize the anchor mission on their campuses and are recognized as leaders in transforming the national perception of higher education. Participating CUMU member institutions collaboratively work to identify resources, identify opportunities, work through challenges, and develop new tools for implementing, deepening, and evaluating anchor mission practices.
Locally, in Philadelphia, Temple University and Temple Health are Anchor Partners for the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia's Philadelphia Anchors for Growth & Equity (PAGE), a regional anchor collaborative, a partnership between the Economy League, the City of Philadelphia, and more than a dozen regional institutions committed to localizing and diversifying their supply chains. Through intentionality and mutual accountability, we are working to grow local diverse firms, strengthen the local economy, and close equity and wealth gaps.
