Why Tiger Pride Matters
University pride is about more than wearing school colors. It creates a sense of belonging and helps strengthen the connections that make a campus community thrive.
When Tigers show their pride, we:
- celebrate the achievements of our students, faculty, staff and alumni
- build stronger connections across campus
- foster a welcoming community where everyone feels included
- honor our university's traditions and history
- show prospective students, families and visitors what it means to be a Tiger
Tiger pride reminds us that we are part of something bigger than ourselves. It unites us around shared experiences, shared values and a shared commitment to Towson University.
The History of Tiger Tuesday
Tiger Tuesday began as a Student Government Association tradition. During Tuesday meetings, student leaders would greet one another with a simple phrase: "Happy Tiger Tuesday!"
What started as a spirited greeting quickly grew into a broader campus tradition. Now we set aside one day each week to celebrate our shared identity as Tigers and remind one another of the strength of the Towson community. BUT we hope people will proudly wear TU gear all year around – no matter the day of the week!
Today, Tiger Tuesday belongs to the entire university. It is a visible expression of school spirit that connects generations of Tigers and reinforces the pride we share in Towson University.
