RISING for Our Whole Community: Six Priorities of the RISE Campaign

Student Success: Opportunity and Leadership

Student-focused support expands opportunities for academic achievement including scholarships, programs focused on student well-being, successful student transitions to college, equity and inclusion, academic success and resources to support lifelong career success.

Student Wellness  /  The well-being of students is at the core of their success. The new Office of Student Wellness includes campus recreation and the health and counseling centers and
will coordinate programming that promotes care for the minds, bodies and souls of our students.

Faculty Excellence: Teachers, Thinkers and Mentors

Faculty-focused giving opportunities include support for endowed chairs and professorships, visiting professorships, fellowships for early-career scholars and support for academic program excellence and faculty professional development.

Faculty Support  /  Endowed chairs and professorships ensure that financial resources exist in perpetuity and offer recognition for exceptional faculty who excel in research, scholarship and creative work and impact the lives and education of current and future students.

Academic Innovation: Real-World Innovation

Together, new programs, hands-on learning opportunities, student–faculty research and community-based engagement ensure rich and diverse academic experiences for all students, preparing them for lives in an increasingly diverse global society.

The NEW Academic Commons  /  Housing the Writing Center, mathematics tutoring, general tutoring services and flex space for “pop-up” career services and undergraduate research, this highly visible space in Cook Library brings student support services together and sets the tone for exciting and collaborative work.

Community Impact: TU Matters to Maryland

Community-focused programs and initiatives drive the entrepreneurial energies of our students, faculty, staff and alumni and positively impact our communities.

StarTUp Accelerator  /  This eight-week, cohort-based fellowship provides new ventures with a stipend for residency and collaboration to accelerate their growth. Selected founders take up residency at the StarTUp at the Armory—TU’s state-of-the-art, entrepreneurship space in downtown Towson.

Capital Projects: Building Excellence

TU is investing more than $700 million in our physical campus, including new academic buildings with modern, inspiring spaces to encourage collaborative problem-solving and hands-on learning in the sciences and health professions, a renovated University Union and cutting-edge practice fields and athletic facilities.

Health Professions Building  /  Rising from the heart of campus, the 240,000-square-foot facility will be the new home for the College of Health Professions. This LEED-certified building will feature flexible learning environments and offer greater opportunities for
student collaboration and research.

Annual Giving and Endowment

Consistent annual giving is vital to helping our community reach its full potential. The TU Fund makes sure your gift goes where it can make the biggest impact. The Tiger Athletic Fund supports our student-athlete experiences, and the Student Emergency & Food Insecurity Fund targets giving to ensure our students have support when they encounter unexpected hardships.
