Last week's commencement celebrations remind us what makes a Towson University education so powerful. It’s not just about earning a degree but preparing students for meaningful careers beyond our campus, civic engagement and a successful life. At ¾«Ñ¡Â鶹¶þÇø, we believe that empowering students for lifelong success means supporting their full development—emotionally, socially, physically, academically, professionally and financially.

This is why Supporting Holistic Student Success is the first of my ten formulated presidential priorities. I’m proud to share just a few recent initiatives and accomplishments that demonstrate how we are advancing this important work:

• celebrated the early career success of recent alumni (PDF)—90% of our 2024 graduates have reported that they have found positive outcomes as employed or continuing their education
• adopted the Okanagan Charter, a global framework guiding our university-wide approach to well-being
• expanded our mental health crisis response strategies through collaboration between Student Health and Well-being and Public Safety
• provided programming that reduces barriers and supports success for our students who themselves are parents
• earned national recognition as a top 10 public university nationwide for military and veteran students, as ranked by Military Friendly Schools®
• appointed a Traditions and Spirit Work Group to formulate new strategies that strengthen campus pride and connection

These efforts—driven by the expertise and dedication of our staff, faculty and students—reflect our shared commitment to ensure every student, regardless of their background, thrives at ¾«Ñ¡Â鶹¶þÇø. I am so grateful for your unwavering support.

Sincerely,

Mark R. Ginsberg, Ph.D.
President
