TU Serves the Community

Towson University offers students many opportunities for volunteerism, community service, and civic engagement. Whether or not you are in one of TU’s 200+ clubs and organizations, your choices for service abound.

The TU Service Fair is a perfect example. The Division of Student Affairs hosts this event to partners students with local agencies that need help.

“The university is committed to the development of well-rounded students prepared to be leaders and active citizens at TU as well as in their communities upon graduation,” says Deb Moriarty, Vice President for Student Affairs.

If you can’t attend the fair, here are contacts for TU groups that serve the community or promote inter-organizational cooperation:
