Engagement & Community Partnerships
Partnerships are central to TU’s identity as a community-engaged institution. They support our mission, enhance the student learning experience, and create positive impacts in our community.
Towson University is committed to positive impacts, making a difference and transforming lives in Greater Baltimore and across Maryland. However, we don’t do this work alone. We do it through partnerships. At TU, partnerships are supported by the Office of Engagement & Community Partnerships (formerly BTU: Baltimore–Towson University).
Partnerships at Towson University work because they focus on cross-campus collaboration, mutual respect and innovative approaches to problem solving.
