The center is a partnership with former U.S. Senator Ben Cardin and his wife, Towson alumna Myrna Cardin. The initiative aims to create opportunities for constructive dialogue across different viewpoints.
"We need to talk today. Need to bring this nation together. We're so divided, and here at Towson they're committed to listening to people of different views to find common solutions to our problems," Cardin said. "So we hope that the center will be a magnet for those types of discussions."
Cardin will lead the center and is joining the university as its second presidential scholar, bringing his decades of political experience to the academic setting.
