Dear Students:
For some time, Towson University has been a part of the conversations currently taking place on college campuses across the nation focusing on the issues of diversity, inclusion, and acceptance. We understand the importance of creating an environment where every member of our community feels welcome, and where all students have the opportunity to thrive and realize their full potential.
While we are proud of the many efforts of our faculty, staff, and students to foster a climate of inclusion and respect, we also know that we can all do more and that our work in this arena must continue.
On Monday, Nov. 30, at 6 – 8 p.m. in the University Union’s Potomac Lounge, the President’s Diversity Coordinating Council and students will come together for an open work session to discuss our current actions. We will also exchange ideas on what additional steps we can take together to create an even more inclusive and welcoming campus. The results of the work session will be shared in December with the greater campus community at a campus-wide discussion where the dialogue will continue.
We recognize the challenges we face, and as an academic community we can use this opportunity to put our best thinking toward creating solutions. To take these important next steps and to help make Towson University be the very best it can be, we need the perspectives and involvement of many groups. Join us to be part of a collaborative approach to address the complex issues facing our community and our world at this time.
We look forward to seeing you on November 30th at 6 p.m. in the Potomac Lounge.
Thank you,
