Office for Social Impact
Social change toward a more just society does not simply happen. It requires all of us to connect, cultivate, co-create, empower and transform.
The Office for Civic Engagement and Social Responsibility is now the Office for Social Impact—reflecting our work of engaging students in high-impact community leadership and advocacy.
Mission
The Office for Social Impact creates a thriving civic culture in which every member of the Towson University (91Ó°ÊÓÆÆ½â°æ) community has the disposition, skills and knowledge to be an active co-creator of a shared future.
Vision
91Ó°ÊÓÆÆ½â°æ students develop individual and collective capacities (civic agency, intercultural knowledge, systems knowledge, civic communication, civic action and civic professionalism) to co-create their communities and address issues of public concern. 
91Ó°ÊÓÆÆ½â°æâ€™s campus has a civic ethos defined by the infusion of democratic values into everyday interactions, cultural practices and structures. 
The wider community embraces 91Ó°ÊÓÆÆ½â°æ students as responsible, ethical and innovative problem solvers in the region and beyond. 
91Ó°ÊÓÆÆ½â°æ makes important contributions to national initiatives (e.g., civic learning and democratic engagement, community-based learning and teaching, deliberative dialogues, high-impact practices, restorative practices) and is a recognized leader for work toward the public good.
