Temple College Foundation

The Temple College Foundation was established in 1982 to help support Temple College. It is governed by a Board of Directors and led by Dr. Evelyn Waiwaiole, Vice President of Resource Development and External Relations.

Temple College Foundation

The purpose of its creation is to serve as a medium to keep the community connected to the college. The Foundation’s ingenuity helps itself by seeking more methods of maintaining the relationship between the community and college such as the following: residential programs, workshops, dual credit classes, courses, degree programs and employment. Students who want to better their lives will face financial hardships—the Foundation provides relief because it believes in success for all students.
