Partners represent a wide range of missions and sectors, including schools, nonprofits, community organizations, research institutions and government agencies.
The Office of Engagement & Community Partnerships works to strengthen and elevate the meaningful relationships TU has built throughout Greater Baltimore. By supporting collaboration and shared goals, we help create opportunities for positive community impact while honoring the unique strengths, needs and contributions of each partnership.
At TU, an engagement describes the activity taking place between the TU and an external partner. One partner can have multiple engagements with faculty and staff across campus, and many engagements involve more than one community partner. Five impact areas serve as a basis for how the efforts, resources and recognition of university-community partnerships are organized. Engagements may fall under more than one area:
- Vibrant Arts and Cultural Community
- Strong Neighborhoods and Sustainable Communities
- Thriving and Competitive Economy
- High-Quality and Equitable Education
- Lifelong Health and Well-being
