Fellow Tigers,

It has been another terrific year at Towson University. From national rankings and new facilities to athletic championships and academic achievements, there has been no shortage of celebrations on our campus.

Our university continues to rise as a national leader in academic excellence. Last fall, the Wall Street Journal named TU the No. 1 public university in Maryland and the No. 15 public university in the country. And just this spring, we achieved the prestigious Research Colleges and Universities designation from the Carnegie Commission, a testament to the highly consequential, highly impactful research happening here at TU.

Tiger Athletics has also enjoyed great success, helping to raise TU’s profile even higher. Our men’s basketball team won its first outright regular-season CAA championship title in program history, while our women’s gymnastics team continued its dominant run with its second-consecutive EAGL championship. In March, the track and field team won the ECAC Indoor Championships for the third time in school history.

As a university, we are furthering our investment in our student-athletes through the creation of the Campaign for Excellence, a $12 million fundraising effort that will provide the necessary financial support to enhance our facilities and ensure the continued success of our Division I athletic teams.

These milestones reflect the positive trajectory and momentum we are building at TU—momentum that is strengthened by the stories and contributions of our accomplished alumni. In this issue, you’ll read about many inspiring Tigers making a difference in their communities, who exemplify what it means to be #TUproud.

TU’s future has never been brighter. I look forward to all that we will continue to accomplish together in the year ahead.
