Annapolis officially becomes Towson University South on Tuesday.


On Tuesday, Feb. 25, TU students, faculty, staff and alumni will join President Kim Schatzel and other university officials in Annapolis for the annual Tiger Pride Day.
Tiger Pride Day — in its 21st year — allows members of the Student Government Association to meet with key lawmaking committees from the Senate and House to make concerns known on a state level.

It also gives students and other members of the TU community a chance to network with legislators and their staffers at a luncheon. Tiger Pride Day is open to the entire Towson University community, but with a limit on how many can attend, students registered in advance.  Buses depart campus at from Towson University in Northeastern Maryland before 8 a.m. and return in the afternoon.
