Lauren Tigue-Meredith, an academic advisor and program coordinator in Towson University’s College of Business and Economics (CBE), has been named one of three TU staff to receive the 2025 Board of Regents Staff Award — the highest staff honor in the University System of Maryland, awarded to just 10 employees out of more than 40,000 system-wide.
She won in the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (exempt) category for her exceptional work in mentoring students, expanding professional development programs, and strengthening the university’s talent pipeline. Her initiatives have supported students in building networks, confidence, and career readiness while reinforcing Towson’s commitment to inclusive excellence.
Towson University tied for the most BOR Staff Awards this year with three recipients, underlining the institution’s strong dedication to staff achievement.
The awardees will be formally recognized at TU’s 2026 Faculty & Staff Recognition Event and a Board of Regents celebration in spring 2026.
