TU in the Community
Towson University has a new webpage to help faculty and students collaborate with each other, and reach out into our community.  Through its Community Projects Database, faculty are encouraged to upload information about current service-learning courses.  The database may be searched by community organizations, students, and faculty looking to be involved in service-learning and therefore can help to facilitate relationships. 

Service-learning books and publications may also be found at Albert S. Cook Library on the 4th floor at LC 220. The Reference Desk staff on the entrance floor can help if you have any questions.
