Towson Students To Arrive This Weekend

Dear Members of the Greater Towson Community:

Towson University will welcome new and returning students to campus this weekend. Welcome to Towson New Student Orientation begins on Saturday, August 27th with freshmen campus move-in scheduled to start at 9 a.m. Returning students will be permitted to begin campus move-in on Sunday and Monday. A full schedule of all events is available on the TU website under the Life@TU link.

We expect minimal to no disruption from these campus events to the surrounding community, but please do not hesitate to contact TU Police (410-704-2133) for immediate attention to noise disruptions on campus over the weekend.

On a side note: Towson University is obviously tracking the path of Hurricane Irene, and strongly encouraged students and parents to monitor weather forecasts and use good judgment in deciding whether to move back Sunday or delay return until Monday or Tuesday.

Also occurring on campus this weekend: The Governor’s Redistricting Planning Hearing, Saturday, August 27, 2011, 2 p.m. Parking will be reserved to the Glen garage, but heavy traffic should be expected along York Road before and after the event.

Towson University will also begin its annual grant with the Baltimore County Police Department this weekend for additional off-duty police patrols in the surrounding communities and continue them every weekend until Halloween. The Student Lifeline (410-704-LIFE, studentaffairs@towson.edu) is also ready to take your non-urgent messages.

Please do not hesitate to reach me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Marina H. Cooper
