TU in the Community

Towson University has a new and innovative outreach web site to help faculty and students collaborate with each other and develop partnerships with the community. Faculty are able to use the site's Community Projects Database to search for existing university-community partnerships as well as upload information about their own work, including service-learning projects. The database is available to community organizations, students, and faculty and is a great resource to help facilitate service-learning relationships.
