For the past nine years, Towson University’s Division of Innovation and Applied Research has partnered with Academic Affairs to host the Towson University Showcase. This event brings together faculty and staff with the greater community to discuss ways in which we can partner to solve challenges facing our region.
I like to say that this event is where partnerships start, because this is the best time to meet faculty and staff who are doing fantastic work on our campus and in our communities. I also see this as an event where partnerships grow. Hundreds of area professionals from the business, education, government, and non-profit sectors who are already partnering with us attend to catch up and grow their networks.
Towson University Showcase Keynote Speaker
Dr. Kim Schatzel, Towson University president

Dr. Schatzel has a diverse background in entrepreneurship, business, product innovation, and education. She will share her vision for Towson University as a committed partner for Greater Baltimore. With over 167 active initiatives and partnerships in the works she is committed to deepening the impact of our collective work. She will share how partnerships can help drive economic activity in the region.
