How to get involved at TU

Whether students are interested in sports, fashion, community service, singing, pre-professional networking, video games or just about any hobby or personal development interest, Towson University has a club or organization for them.

TU’s vibrant campus life revolves around its student organizations, and with more than 250 groups, students have plenty of options to explore new interests, meet people, join the campus community and have fun.

“Student organizations are the building blocks of community here at TU,” says Chris Rindosh, coordinator of student organizations. “These organizations make a huge impact on what students experience both here on campus and in the local community.”

Meet three students who found (or founded) a special club or organization at TU that enhanced their college experience.

Adjoyi, a business analytics and business systems and processes major, helped create Money & Minorities, a financial literacy group geared toward helping students with all things money.

The group works to prepare students with the fundamentals of financial literacy in a peer-to-peer setting so they don’t feel overwhelmed financially—both in college and beyond.

“Money & Minorities has been extremely beneficial to my TU experience in many ways,” Adjoyi says. “I’ve been able to share information that was passed down to me by my grandfather, and I get to watch people gain knowledge about topics that are extremely important in life.

“On numerous occasions I’ve been the person others go to with financial questions, and it gives me pride and joy to guide them in the right direction. On top of that, I’ve grown close with the people who were part of it last year and look forward to doing the same this year.”

Founded nationally on Dec. 11, 1935, by Mary McLeod Bethune and chartered at Towson University on May 11, 2011, the National Council of Negro Women is a service-based organization that leads, advocates and empowers women of African descent as they support their families and communities.

Since Betanga, a public health major, joined NCNW, she has collaborated with women from across the region and the United States, all while expressing herself in a safe space on campus.

“NCNW has helped me grow into a stronger, more confident woman while connecting me with amazing women who share my passions,” Betanga says. “It’s given me a platform to showcase my leadership skills—and it’s been so much fun along the way!”

Fleet, a psychology major, has a passion for a cappella. So when she found Off Track, TU’s all-gender a cappella group, she knew she had found her place on campus.

Since joining, Fleet has helped Off Track host concerts on campus and advance to the finals of the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella. The group not only sang on a Broadway stage but also performed in front members of Grammy-Award-winning a cappella group Pentatonix.

“Being part of Off Track has given me a space to relieve academic stress by singing with my best friends,” Fleet says. “If you’re thinking about joining any club—do it! It will be one of the best experiences, and you’ll make lasting memories with lifelong friends.”

The 2025 Fall Involvement Fair

For students interested in exploring TU’s clubs and organizations, the Office of Student Activities will host the 2025 Fall Involvement Fair at 4 p.m., Wed., Sept. 3, on the third floor of the University Union.

The fair is the largest involvement opportunity on campus, giving students the best chance to meet organizations face-to-face.

“Getting involved is easy because our student organizations are always recruiting,” Rindosh says. “You’re going to see more than 200 student organizations at the Involvement Fair because they want YOU to join.”

When asked for advice for students considering a club, Rindosh says to keep an open mind.

“I recommend going to several clubs’ meetings and getting a feel for what being part of that club might be like,” he says. “If it’s not your vibe, you don’t have to go back.”
