Dear Student:
Welcome to another year of learning and discovery, both in the classroom and
beyond. Whether it is your first or last term at Towson University, I urge you to
embrace the many opportunities on and off campus for intellectual and personal
development.
Your college years are a time to explore the many different ways of learning that
can shape and enrich your life and career. Towson University faculty and staff are
here to help every student who joins the university community expand their
choices.
During your time here, seize every opportunity to learn and to grow. Talk with
your professors outside the classroom; engage in conversations with people of
different backgrounds; attend arts performances, athletic events, and lectures by
visiting scholars; and become active in at least one student organization. Retain a
sharp focus on your academic subjects, but also remember that an important part
of education and learning occurs beyond the classroom and computer screen. You
should become part of the broader communities both on- and off-campus.
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 your college years. Make the most of what we have
to offer at Towson University and you will be able to offer your best to the world.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Caret
President
