Temple University has a rich history of preparing students for successful careers in sports media. Owls are everywhere in the industry, as proven by Philadelphia Eagles broadcaster Merrill Reese, KLN ’64; ESPN anchor Kevin Negandhi, KLN ’98; baseball journalist Claire Smith, KLN ’79; and USA Basketball creative director Saudia Mitchell, KLN ’03. On Oct. 8, the university advanced its commitment to preparing students for sports media careers by approving a new bachelor of arts in sports media, to be housed in the Klein College of Media and Communication.
