Impact TU provides an opportunity for 500 TU students to engage with community partners who are committed to fostering sustainable communities. Students learn about local efforts toward developing sustainable communities and then engage in hands-on projects focused on environmental sustainability, economic security, social well-being, and civic engagement. Project sites are on campus and in the Towson-Baltimore area.
