On October 10, Temple University had two exciting unveilings – the school opened the doors to the new Paley Hall and it announced a $55 million gift from ABA Centers’ Founder, Christopher Barnett.
This gift is the largest in the university’s history and it reflects the Barnett family’s belief that education is the most powerful force for progress and that, by strengthening the public health workforce, we can help shape a healthier, more equitable future for all.
In honor of the generous donation, Temple’s college of public health will now be named the “Christopher M. Barnett College of Public Health” and a significant portion of the gift will support the ABA Centers Autism Lab.
