BTU—Partnerships for Greater Baltimore
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 throughout Maryland. However, we don’t do this work alone. We do it through partnerships. At TU, partnerships are supported by BTU (Baltimore–Towson University) — elevating the work we’re already doing with partners throughout Greater Baltimore to better address the needs of the region.
Our partnerships work because they focus on cross-campus collaboration, mutual respect, and innovative approaches to problem solving.
“ 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. ”
