PHILADELPHIA - On February 25, all of Temple's student-athletes were treated to an inspiring event in honor of National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD). Three panelists, all of them strong female role models with athletic backgrounds, came to speak to the entire student-athlete population at Pearson-McGonigle Hall. The speakers were Mary McElroy, Temple's Executive Senior Associate AD/SWA, Dr. Amy J. Goldberg, Chair of the Department of Surgery at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine, and Natasha Hastings, an Olympic gold medalist in track & field.
With McElroy serving as moderator, each of the three gave some background information on themselves before opening up the floor to questions.
