Through BTU: Partnerships at Work for Greater Baltimore, Towson University (TU) has been working since 2016 to create a framework to capture, support, strengthen, and align the collaborative work that is taking place between TU and its community partners. An important aspect of this work is recognizing exemplary collaborations, partnerships, and projects that impact TU and the Greater Baltimore community. This lightening session will provide participants with the opportunity to learn how Towson University developed and implemented the BTU Partnership Awards to elevate this impactful work, explore the importance of recognizing all partners involved (internal and external), and discuss growth opportunities going forward.
