A Commitment to Equity

When immediate needs are fulfilled, the Towson University community is better equipped to provide and receive a quality education.

The Hub, with its commitment to equity, empowers the TU community to develop life skills and self-reliance, promoting students' perseverance to reach graduation. Towson University is committed to creating a more just and equitable campus, where socioeconomic status and basic needs insecurity do not determine student success.
