It was hot outside, but that didn't stop Towson University from providing a cool time for members of its faculty and staff. The Annual Towson University Faculty & Staff Appreciation event took place on Wed., June 26 in both the University Union and Burdick Hall. The 80s/90s throwback celebration was full of food, games and prizes and even a visit from a Michael Jackson impersonator.

The Faculty & Staff Appreciation Celebration recognizes the hard work and dedication of TU employees. The event would not be possible without the dedicated planning committee comprised of employees across the university.
