Wednesday 91, yesterday 95, today 95. Breaking the record high of 94 set back in 1884 so three days in a row makes this official. This is a heat wave, the seventh heat wave so far this year.

Trenton a new record high of 95, wilmington a new record high 95, dover and Atlantic City airport soaring up to a record high of 96 degrees and this steamy air mass will remain in place tomorrow. Satellite6 along with action radar showing there are a few showers across the Lehigh Valley.

Thomas Jefferson University and Philadelphia University merged today to become one of the Largest College institutions in the city. From first glance it may seem like an odd pairing but both sides are calling it a revolution in academics. And with more on that is action News ReporterTrish Hartman who is live from east falls tonight. Trish. Reporter well, rick, officials from both schools admit they are on different ends of the educational spectrum but thats why they say this works. Theyre able to offer more well ronald mcdonaldd offerings for students and more ways to help others. On the face of it we look different but underneath in real philosophical belief about education we are absolutely in concert. Reporter you would be hardpressed to find two more different universities in the city. Thomas Jefferson University and Philadelphia University. Predominantly graduate Health Science university with a predominantly undergraduate Creative Design architecture Entrepreneurial University is exactly what needs to happen. Reporter this morning the boards of both schools enterd into a combination agreement with the intent to create one combined university with two operating campuses. The merge would make the school the fifth largest in the city with 7500 students from textiles used in the medical world to patient wear and merchandising. Philadelphia University Students hope combining with the well known medical school will mean a more diverse experience and more job opportunities. To be, you know, on the brink of innovation and collaboration really sets you apart. So if we could find a way to collaborate those two together and develop a system like that, i think that would be beneficial to the school. It would be something that not a lot of colleges have. Reporter so whats in it for Thomas Jefferson students . Officials say a chance to help patients in a different way. Were using our college within a college and the folks at Philadelphia University to help us redesign the Patient Experience and were having those students literally talk about a totally transformed Patient Experience through design. Reporter now, Officials Say the school will have a new name. A marketing study is being done to figure out what that new name will be and School Officials hope that the merge will be complete for the class incoming in the fall of 2017.
