As we prepare to honor the spring 2022 graduates, we look back on all that they have accomplished in their time at the University of Maryland. The Class of 2022 is full of bold thinkers, philanthropists, changemakers, entrepreneurs, advocators, researchers and nonprofit leaders who are passionate about doing good on campus, in their communities and throughout their careers. 

The Do Good Institute is happy to award 49 of these driven students who make up the Class of 2022 with a Do Good Medallion. Each awardee is being recognized for their extraordinary commitment to social impact and innovation and their efforts to bolster the University of Maryland's impact as the nation's first Do Good Campus. These Do Good grads are working to tackle social and environmental issues including education accessibility, mental health, climate change and so much more. 

The 2022 Do Good Medallion honorees – both undergraduate and graduate students – were selected from thousands of students across campus who competed as a semi-finalist or finalist in the annual, campus-wide Do Good Challenge; participated in our selective Do Good Accelerator Fellows program; served as a Do Good Ambassador; worked with local mission-driven organizations as an Impact Intern; completed the Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management and Leadership; and/or was employed as a Do Good student worker. These graduates represent 10 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, College of Information Studies, Philip Merrill College of Journalism, Robert H. Smith School of Business, School of Public Health and School of Public Policy, as well as living/learning programs within College Park Scholars, Honors College, Language House, and CIVICUS at UMD.
