The Annual Report is a celebration of the accomplishments of this division and each of its staff. As the university experiences changes and transformations, we are prepared to meet the challenges ahead with the same core values and beliefs that molded this institution into the university that it is today -- beliefs in the significance of service and innovation, the constant pursuit of excellence, and the enduring emphasis of efficiency and effectiveness.
In conformance with Towson’s University Relations Department policy, the Division of Administration and Finance follows Associated Press (AP) style for all publications. This guide is an abbreviated version of the AP stylebook focusing on the tenets most pertinent to writing in the university setting. The guide is broken into two sections — one on style and one on punctuation — that contain information on spelling, capitalization, abbreviation, grammar and punctuation. It is organized alphabetically to serve as a quick reference for your benefit.
If you are an expectant mother, or nursing mother, attending school or working at Towson University, you’ll be glad to know that there are now several on-site Nursing Mothers’ Rooms. All Nursing Mothers’ Rooms provide a private, secure, clean space for breastfeeding mothers; these rooms are available to all Towson University students, faculty, staff and their spouses/domestic partners to provide a comfortable, convenient place on campus for breastfeeding or breast milk pumping. While some women prefer to nurse their babies in a private, quiet, distraction-free environment, it is important to stress that this is a choice, not a requirement. The nursing stations are located in five buildings on campus.
