Towson University prepares its students to live, work, and lead in today's constantly changing
world. Like never before, success - locally, nationally, and globally - is related to one's ability to
lead, incorporate technology, and negotiate differences. It is becoming increasingly difficult to
remain in isolated enclaves with people who are like us. Americans are slowly recognizing that
when we continue to exclude from full participation competent, capable citizens on the basis of
their age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, social class, sexual orientation, or national
origin, we lose. Towson University, therefore, is engaged in increasing the diversity among its
students, faculty, and staff; addressing the needs and concerns of its varied populations; and
promoting multicultural learning for all students.
To that end, the Center for Student Diversity (CSD) was established to aid the institution in its
efforts to foster inclusion, collaboration, and relationship building. The center provides
academic, social, and transition support for underserved students and promotes exchange and
dialogue between individuals of diverse backgrounds and lifestyles.
CSD, housed in the Division of Student Affairs, supports the access and academic success of
historically under-represented groups through programs and services that enhance the student
experience. Currently, the CSD cluster consists of the following units:
African American Student Development
Asian Pacific Islander/Latino Student Development
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Student Development
Student Success Programs - SAGE and CEEP
Women's Resources
Campus Ministries
CSD serves the following functions:

you recognize a need we have missed, tell us about it. If you want to work with us to help
eradicate bias, discrimination, and intolerance and promote cross-cultural awareness, dialogue,
interaction, leadership, and coalition building, please contact us. We maintain a warm,
welcoming space. Stop by and see us any time. All are invited to participate in our activities!
