University Relations would like to publicize little known but compelling stories about TU students graduating on May 24, 25 or 26.
We are seeking undergraduate or graduate students with highly unusual backgrounds, students who struggled with debilitating health problems or those who pressed on despite personal tragedy or hardship.
We also welcome tips about spouses or family members planning to graduate together. (Large or multigenerational groups are of special interest.) If you know a graduate who’s much older–or younger–than usual, we’d like to hear from you.
Newsworthiness is the overriding consideration; above-average grades and other academic achievements are desirable but by no means essential.
Students must be planning to participate in next month’s commencement exercises and be willing, if asked, to share their stories with University Relations staff and the news media.
Please send names and other pertinent information to Jan Lucas, {jlucas@towson.edu}, before May 10.
