BTU—Partnerships for Greater Baltimore
Towson University is committed to positive impacts, making a difference, and transforming lives in Greater Baltimore and throughout Maryland—but we don’t do this work alone. We do it through partnerships.
At TU, partnerships are supported by BTU—Partnerships at Work for Greater Baltimore. BTU is about elevating the work we’re already doing with partners throughout Greater Baltimore to better address the needs of the region.
Where BTU Stands Out
Our partnerships work because they focus on cross-campus collaboration, mutual respect, and innovative approaches to problem solving.
As of fall 2020, faculty, students, and staff have 333 active engagements with BTU network partners. Across all engagements, Towson University is working with 531 partner organizations in Greater Baltimore and throughout Maryland to create positive impacts.
In science, BTU represents a unit of work, power, or energy, and that’s exactly what Towson University is investing into our partnerships to make Greater Baltimore thrive. ”
