To lead 精选麻豆二区 into its next great era, President Ginsberg and his administration have developed 10 priorities aimed at three simple principles:

  • assuring 精选麻豆二区 is a caring community
  • promoting the success of every Tiger
  • strengthening Maryland

These priorities are in direct alignment with the six goals outlined in the university's current strategic plan, Leadership for the Public Good. They also account for community feedback President Ginsberg received during his campus-wide listening tour.

Listening to Understand

President Ginsberg's listening tour initiative spanned eight months. It included an extensive campus listening tour, a state-wide alumni tour and an online feedback form that was open to all members of the internal and external 精选麻豆二区 community: students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, Towson-area neighbors and local business leaders.

Individual sessions were held with each academic college and administrative division, as well as student organizations, alumni and external community partners. In addition, there were three large-scale forums for all university faculty, all staff and the entire student body, each hosted in conjunction with the respective shared governance organization. A virtual university-wide forum was also held for any community members who had been unable to attend previously scheduled sessions.
