Temple University’s new president, Ann Weaver Hart, wants Temple students to study abroad — so much so that she has offered to fork over the $97 passport-application fee for any student who applies for a passport for the first time.

In her inaugural address on Thursday, Ms. Hart stressed the value of study abroad and international internships, telling students that she and her husband, Randy, a retired lawyer, would establish an endowment through the university’s office of international programs to pay for the passports. Ms. Hart, who took office last July, is the former president of University of New Hampshire. —Paul Fain
