Temple University's president will relocate home near campus
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Temple University president Jason Wingard and his family are relocating to North Philadelphia to be a lot closer to the school's campus. The university made the official announcement Tuesday.
In the spring, the Wingards will move from Chestnut Hill into a Temple-owned property on North Carlisle Street.

Wingard will be the school's first president to live on or near main campus in recent history.
