CARE Team
Towson University is committed to supporting a safe and healthy community. At times, members of our community find themselves or others in need of additional support and assistance in order to thrive on campus.
The university’s CARE Team coordinates support resources that assist students in being
successful academically and in promoting their health and well-being.
