The university recently released a 10-year growth plan; Towson University also just released a master plan for 2030.
This past fall, the university broke ground on a $100 million health and human services building and officially opened an $88 million student services building.
In 2020, Morgan got the largest donation in its history - $40 million from major philanthropist and author Mackenzie Scott.
