Towson University 2010

The UB/Towson MBA program will unveil a new Sustainability Specialization track in Fall 2009. Sustainable development is an emerging 21st century paradigm for suggesting action toward the problems of the contemporary world. Emphasis will be placed on value creation, assessment, and enhancement. Central to the sustainability framework is the requirement for managers to inspire innovative approaches to business reinvention, to effectively manage stakeholders, and to build coalitions for change. Under the emerging 21st century model, corporate sustainability represents a business paradigm shift from traditional approaches to management.*

This new track will join the 11 other areas of specialization that the UB/Towson MBA program currently offers: Business Security , Entrepreneurship, Finance, Health Care Management, Human Resource Management, International Business, Leadership and Organizational Learning, Management Information Systems, Marketing, Sport Management and The Customized Specialization Option.

Legislative Bills

Dear Towson University Alumni and Friends:

Last night SB402 Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) Review of Duplicative Academic Programs came to the Senate floor for a vote. Thank you for your calls and advocacy. The bill was defeated with a vote of 28 opposed and 17 in support of the legislation. Please join me in thanking our senators for their vote against SB402. Senators can be reached via the Senate switchboard at 410-841-3000 or go to http://mdelect.net to find your senator.

Program availability in higher education is a key element in keeping Maryland globally competitive. Cooperation among institutions can help in the achievement of that goal. Our higher education institutions need the flexibility to respond to the changing environment, technology and marketplace and timely program review done by the Maryland Higher Education Commission is the best way to achieve this goal. Maryland's students and employers are fortunate to have such an expansive higher education system equipped with a wide selection of offerings to meet their needs. The diversity of our two year, four year, public and private institutions are what make Maryland a leader in higher education.

Thank you for your action in support of Towson University and our students.

Sincerely,

Robert L. Caret

President
