A native of Parkville and former Towson professor, Loeschke came to lead her alma mater in 2012 following a stint as president of Mansfield University in Pennsylvania.

“I went to school here, grew up in the neighborhood and now I get at my age to come back here and put all this together in a way that comes full circle,” Loeschke said in 2012 upon assuming the post of president. “It’s a gift to me.”
