Faculty

The Honors College has talented professors who love to inspire students. Outstanding teachers, prominent researchers, authors and scholars offer insights in their fields of study. Honors faculty represent a range of academic disciplines and are among the most innovative at Towson University.

In the Classroom

Each term Honors College students have the opportunity to take over 40 Honors courses with excited and inventive Towson University faculty members. With course enrollments limited to 20 students and a focus on the seminar-style discussion format, students have the opportunity to build connections with faculty from day one on campus. The Honors College believes that the undergraduate experience is enhanced by a collaborative learning philosophy which encourages students and faculty to work side-by-side in the classroom.

Honors College seminars are proposed by faculty members with the specific intention of enabling students and faculty to examine areas that are not usually part of regular departmental offerings. Honors seminars provide a robust and collegial discussion environment that is intellectually demanding, and encourage undergraduate research, interdisciplinary perspectives, critical thinking, and global awareness. Honors seminars often deal with topics that are at the forefront of a faculty member's academic inquiry, and which have direct relevance to world in which we live.

“ Honors students strive to leave each class meeting with more in their 'academic cups' than they entered with, to the point that those cups will begin to spill over and thereby inspire excellence in those around them. ”

Professor John Sivey, Department of Chemistry

Faculty-Led Research

 Honors students work one-on-one with TU faculty in the pursuit of Honors electives like internships, independent studies, and thesis writing. Faculty supervision allows Honors students the opportunity to gain valuable experience engaging in work which will prepare them for graduate study or the workforce. 

In the Admissions Process

Honors College faculty who spend their time teaching Honors students are the best equipped to assess a prospective student's readiness for success in the Honors classroom. Each year over 40 TU faculty and staff assist in the Honors College application review process by reading incoming freshman and transfer student applications. This effort allows the Honors College to take a holistic approach to assessing applications and ensure that all applicant-submitted material is considered by one or more reviewers.

“ Honors College students are creative, hard-working young people who are truly concerned about building their futures.  They seize opportunities and become discerning thinkers.  I enjoy working with Honors students because they are dedicated to developing their talents, exploring new interests, and contributing to their communities. ”

Alison McCartney, Honors Faculty Director and Professor in the Department of Political Science

Honors College Professor of the Year

Each year, graduating Honors students are invited to nominate a TU faculty member for Honors College Professor of the Year.

The Class of 2022 selected Cindy Ghent as the Honors College Professor of the Year.

Cindy Ghent is an associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Towson University, where she has worked since 2008. Prior to joining TU on the tenure track, Prof. Ghent earned her Ph.D. in science education at the University of Maryland, College Park while working as an adjunct instructor and then lecturer at TU. She also earned a master’s and bachelor’s degrees at TU, graduating with departmental Honors during the latter. Prof. Ghent has served as Director of the STEM Education Center, mentored and prepared new faculty during their first year through the TU Fisher College New Faculty Program, and mentored TU Faculty in pedagogical research design and publication through the Fisher College SoTL Program, in addition to leading dozens of workshops and presentation on quality science education.

She has written several publications in journals such as Applied Enviornmental Education and Communication and the Journal of College Science Teaching, and has written a report with colleagues at other institutions across the state about how to diversify faculty in the sciences. She has received grants for work totalling over $600,000, including one to establish the Hill-Lopes Scholars Program at TU to support the advancement and retention of diverse individuals, especially women, in the science and mathematics disciplines through scholarships and programmatic support.

In the Honors College, Prof. Ghent is a beloved and respected teacher and mentor. She developed and teaches two Honors seminars, “Dystopian Fiction” and “Infectious Diseases,” which she designed in collaboration with Honors students as co-creators, co-investigators, and co-developers in the process of designing and running the actual courses. Prof. Ghent exemplifies what the Towson Honors College seeks to provide – engaging, intellectually stimulating, interdisciplinary courses on important topics and mentoring opportunities that help Honors students to learn, grow, and find their paths.
