We’re excited to celebrate and honor nearly 80 students with a Do Good medallion for their commitment to creating a better world and future for those around them through their commitment to social impact. Leading with purpose and compassion, these students have brought the ideals of a Do Good Campus to life.
Each student awardee has either, pitched a social or environmental impact project at the Do Good Challenge, transformed their ideas into impact as an Accelerator Fellow, explored ways to ‘do good’ in our immersive program, Changemaker Pathways, interned with local nonprofits as a Impact Intern, served as a Lead Applicant for a Do Good Mini-Grant project, earned their Certificate in Nonprofit Management and Leadership and an incredible amount of additional accomplishments during their time and UMD.
To our “Do Good” class of 2025, we’re infinitely proud of the work you’ve done and know you’ll continue to make a difference beyond our campus.
