Building new partnerships and fostering existing relationships between Towson University and the communities we serve.
The Office of Partnerships & Outreach is made up of a team of community engagement professionals, communications specialists, and event planners that focuses on matching the expertise and resources of the university with external partners throughout Greater Baltimore.
