April is Do Good Month
As the nation's first Do Good Campus, the University of Maryland is redefining what it means to educate for impact and innovation, serving as a national model for how higher education can serve the public good. In April, Terps come together to accelerate impact in our communities.
Do Good Events All Month Long
Students from across campus spend the year advocating, fundraising, volunteering and developing solutions for pressing social issues. The challenge culminates in a finals event where six teams pitch their project or venture and the impact they’ve made for the chance to win a cash prize.
