Towson University is closely monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. As the situation continues to change, our top priority is the health and safety of our community. Learn more about Towson University's response to the coronavirus.

All TU Career Center events and gatherings scheduled through April 5 have been cancelled. This includes the Spring Mega Job & Internship Fair originally scheduled for March 27. Refunds for employers who had paid for the fair are in process.

Employers can continue to post positions to Handshake, as employer requests and position postings will continue to be reviewed and approved during this time. Learn more about Handshake at our Handshake Employer FAQ page.

Employers can also participate in Virtual On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) by requesting interview schedules via Handshake for virtual interviews from March 30 through May 7.

Finally, we encourage employers to get creative and consider experimenting with a virtual event,  information session, hosting a virtual tour of your offices, or perhaps a panel session featuring alumni who work at your organization. We are happy to help you think things through; do not hesitate to contact us as careercenter AT_TOWSON. If you decide to try something, you can submit the event in Handshake for approval and once approved, you are off and running!

As of March 13, TU students are encouraged to continue their existing/planned work and internship arrangements, as long as the student is healthy and the employer site is deemed safe.

Please note that with the closure of the residence halls through this period of online instruction, students may no longer have a local presence; your understanding of these unique circumstances is appreciated.

Additionally, the development of remote work options for students is encouraged. Please be aware that this guidance may change as the situation evolves.

You are encouraged to email the Career Center at careercenter AT_TOWSON. This email will be actively monitored and your message will be sorted and responded to in a timely manner.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in this rapidly evolving situation.
