We want to keep you informed about our community outreach efforts, upcoming events, meetings, resources and reports. Many in the Towson family work with you in the surrounding neighborhoods. We would like to invite you to join us at campus events, take a class, cheer on the Tigers, volunteer, and explore the many ways you can get involved with TU.
Community Relations NewsTU Named to Good-Neighbor Honor Roll The American Council on Education and nationally recognized expert Dr. Evan Dobell placed Towson University on the honor roll of the “Saviors of Our Cities: Survey of Best College and University Civic Partnerships,” in October 2009. Colleges and universities cited in the honor roll were found to “figure prominently in lengthy cooperative efforts with community leaders to rehabilitate the cities around them using their money and expertise to further the projects.” The survey focused on the economic, social and cultural impact that institutions of higher education have on their surrounding cities. Rankings were based on survey responses from the institutions, as well as the results of on-site interviews with the presidents, directors of civic engagement, or their designees at each college and university. The survey was supported by the American Council on Education and sponsored by Dr. Evan Dobelle, president of Westfield State College in Massachusetts. Dobelle is a nationally-recognized expert in promoting economic development through the active partnership of cities and the colleges and universities that reside in them.
