The Temple Health & Bioscience District board met Thursday in part to decide on a new vision statement: To foster a thriving health science community.

âThatâs the best thing about working at Temple College . I really feel like Iâm part of a family,â Clawson, a biology professor, told the Telegram. âPeople use that (saying) a lot, but I truly felt like everybody was there to help one another. Anybody I asked a question to, they helped me ⦠and they still continue to do that.â
This year, Clawson â who has been instrumental in the success of the Texas Bioscience Institute Middle College program at Temple Col- lege â was selected for the institutionâs 33rd Claudia and W.T. Barnhart Teacher of the Year Award.
The board of the Temple Health and Bioscience District approved an $11,250 grant to support Amy’s House, the Temple facility for transplant patients and their caregivers.
