Whether it is your first or last semester at Towson University, I urge you to embrace the many opportunities on campus for intellectual and personal development. Your college years are a time to explore the many different ways and fields of learning that can shape and enrich your future careers and life choices. Towson University faculty and staffare here to help unlock the potential ofevery student whojoins the university community. During your time here, participate in different learning activities. Talk with your professors outside the classroom, engage in conversations with people ofdifferent backgrounds, attend fine arts perfomiances, athletic events and lectures by visiting scholars, andjoin at least one student organization. Retain a sharp focus on your academic subjects, but also remember that learning occurs beyond the classroom and computer screen. I once saw this quote in a classroom: "Grasp even one small idea for the first time, and you have found a whole new world." Keep this in mind as you navigate your way through the learning challenges and opportunities that await you in 2002-2003. Make the most ofwhat we have to offer at Towson University and you will be able to offeryour best to the world. Sincerely, ; Dan L. Jones Interim President ^'m '^'•i.
