CELEBRATING IMPACTFUL PARTNERSHIPS

Partnerships are central to TU’s identity as an anchor institution. They enhance student learning, address community needs, and create positive impacts throughout Greater Baltimore and across Maryland. These impactful partnerships between our campus and our communities are elevated and sustained through BTU (Baltimore–Towson University).

Last week, TU celebrated three exemplary partnerships that embody the spirit of TU and benefit the communities we serve.
