JoAnne Epps, Temple University's acting president, died on Tuesday, the university confirmed to CBS News Philadelphia.
Temple University officials, including Board of Trustees Chair Mitchell L. Morgan, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Ken Kaiser and Senior Vice President and Provost Gregory N. Mandel, released a statement about Epps passing: It is with deep heartbreak that we write to inform you that Temple University Acting President JoAnne A. Epps suddenly passed away this afternoon.
There are no words that can describe the gravity and sadness of this loss. President Epps was a devoted servant and friend who represented the best parts of Temple. She spent nearly 40 years of her life serving this university, and it goes without saying her loss will reverberate through the community for years to come.
