Introducing Town & Gown Tidbit
"Town and Gown" refers to the relationship between a university (the "gown") and the surrounding community (the "town"). This connection is vital, as universities often shape local economies, culture and identity, while communities provide students and faculty with real-world engagement and support. A strong Town and Gown relationship fosters mutual respect, collaboration and sustainable growth, ensuring that both institutions and residents thrive together.
