International Walkway
To celebrate the rich diversity of the Towson community, encourage study abroad opportunities and enhance campus beautification, President Emerita Maravene Loeschke '69/'71 created the International Walkway in 2012. The walkway features illuminated flagpoles flying international flags that represent the home countries of Towson University’s international students. The site for the International Walkway is located between the College of Liberal Arts and the Psychology Building.
