The University of Maryland class of 2018 is full of bold thinkers, philanthropists, change makers, entrepreneurs, advocators, researchers and social innovators. From climate change to public health, from cybersecurity to access to education, from hunger to human rights, Terps across campus are committed to doing good on campus, in their communities, state and world. 

The Do Good Institute is honored to announce 31 students received the first-ever Do Good Medallion for their extraordinary commitment to social impact and innovation and their efforts to transform the University of Maryland into the nation's first Do Good Campus. These 32 students were selected from nearly 1,000 for their participation - and placement as a semi-finalist or finalist - in the annual Do Good Challenge.  

“We are proud of the passion and commitment that University of Maryland students have shown to make meaningful changes and profound impact for some of our world’s most pressing social issues,” said Bob Grimm, director of the Do Good Institute. “With the Do Good Campus, we’re working to engage every student with experiences from orientation to graduation to inspire every Terp to make an impact for a cause they care about during their time at Maryland.” 

These graduates represent seven colleges and schools at University of Maryland, including A. James Clark School of Engineering, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, College of Arts and Humanities, College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, College of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences, Robert H.
