First Female Dean of Temple University’s Law School Talks of New Plans

by Ibram Rogers , April 21, 2008

Diverse: You will become the first female dean of Temple’s Law School and one of a few female African-American deans at major law schools in the United States. When you reflect on that, what comes to mind?

         

JE: I think about all that brought me here. All the people whose contributions and sacrifices both to me individually and to people like me have made this possible. I am ever, ever mindful. I am just sort of a connection to the past and a bridge to the future. I see myself as a vehicle of service, not of achievement or prominence. I am aware of my responsibilities as a role model, but I don’t think I am anything special. I just feel like I have opened one more door that I hope will make it easier for women and people of color and all people to come behind me.
