This afternoon Dean Boardman of the School of Media and Communication sent an email to all SMC students of Bob Saget’s visit to the Klein College Naming Ceremony at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, March 29 at the Temple Performing Arts Center. This ceremony will be honoring Lew Klein, the broadcasting icon who has taught at Temple University for many decades and mentored hundreds of television professionals.
