Can you discuss the outcome of the Career Center's recent Dress for Success suit donation drive?


The Career Center initiated its first ever Dress for Success Closet Business Suit Drive this spring in an effort to assist Towson University students in making the best possible first impression with employers. Thanks to the generous donations of TU alumni, faculty and staff, community members, and corporate sponsors, more than 250 students received business suits free of charge! Participating students expressed their sincere thanks to those who made their polished and professional images possible and voiced a newfound confidence to market themselves to employers at job fairs, interviews, and networking events.

TU Black Student Union

Since it was founded 41 years ago, TU's Black Student Union (BSU) has helped the academic and personal growth of many students in the TU community. The BSU functions as a family of talented individuals who work together and help each other achieve outstanding goals.
The organization is comprised of different subgroups to give students the opportunity to develop leadership skills in their own areas of personal interest. The Soul Dance Team and Rhythm Step Team each take the dedication from creative students to choreograph routines to be preformed for the entire TU community. In addition, the BSU has established the first modeling team on campus: it provides students with experience in modeling, fashion design, and event coordination. Black Voices, the BSU's literary magazine, is written and designed completely by students and showcases editorials, poetry, short stories, and artwork.
The Black Student Union continues the tradition it established over four decades ago: providing support and services to the minority students while encouraging students to grow and become active in TU's entire campus community.

 

The Baltimore Sun: Towson University will be allowed to construct and operate a new branch on the campus of Harford Community College, under a decision released Friday afternoon by the state's interim secretary of higher education. The $25 million project will proceed despite previously expressed reservations from Morgan State University leaders, who questioned the fairness of allowing Towson to stake a foothold in Harford County, a growing suburb with a rich base of military jobs and no four-year universities.
