Towson has a ton of activities and events for students to get involved in. Whether you’re into sports, arts, or community service, there’s something for everyone here. I would recommend getting active on campus. It really makes your college experience memorable and its a great way to meet people.

Office of Student Activities
Campus Activities Board (CAB)
A student-led organization that plans and organizes a wide range of events and activities for the student body. Its mission is to create a vibrant campus community by providing opportunities for students to engage in social experiences. CAB is also in charge of planning tigerfest.
This year I worked for the Campus Activities Board, and I would recommend going to our events. We put on several events every week focused solely on providing free and fun opportunities for Towson students. We are constantly giving out free food and items, ranging from small items to big prizes like PS5’s and iPads.
Student Government Association (SGA)
A student-led organization that serves as the official voice of the student body. Its main goal is to represent the needs and concerns of students to the university administration and advocate for student rights and interests. The SGA also plans and organizes events and programs on campus
