Temple said Fry will start in his new role after new leadership has been named at Drexel.
In a statement, Fry said he was 'deeply humbled' by the appointment.
"Temple stands as a cornerstone of our region's vitality - a vibrant and accessible anchor institution that provides transformative opportunities and positively impacts countless lives through its mission," Fry said.
