President’s Letter
Fellow Tigers,
As I celebrate my first anniversary as TU’s president, I am reminded of the many accomplishments I am so very proud our community has achieved together.
From student success stories and national rankings to new facilities and community gatherings, there has been no shortage of reasons for pride at Towson University.
Earlier this semester, we officially opened our beautiful new Health Professions Building, the latest state-of-the-art academic facility on our campus. I believe it is among the best facilities of its kind in the nation, and I am confident that it will change lives—for both our students who aspire to make a difference in the world and for the patients who will one day receive their care.
It is this standard of excellence that makes TU the No. 1 public university in Maryland and No. 15 in the nation, as recently recognized by the Wall Street Journal. This ranking stands out because it assesses institutions on what matters most to students and families: student success outcomes. All these rankings affirm what Tigers have known for quite some time: TU is among the very best—not just in our state but in the nation.
While I take immense pride in these recognitions, I am even prouder of the transformational impact our university has on Maryland and on every student who enrolls at TU and joins our campus community.
TU’s impact is enhanced by the contributions of our amazing alumni. In this issue you’ll read about some of their incredible work, like that of Eric Hanks ’79, one of the leading representatives of Black artists in the country. Or Bob Wittman ’80, regarded as one of the FBI's top investigators during his 20 years with the bureau.
I'm so proud to be part of our remarkable community, and I know with your continued engagement, together we will raise TU’s trajectory for success and positively impact the Tigers of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Mark Ginsberg, Ph.D.
Towson University President
