At the University of Maryland, we're inspiring chance-takers and difference-makers to apply their passion and ideas toward positive impact, now. Powered by the Do Good Institute, we're building a Do Good Generation across every sector and field of study.
Our interactive campus exhibits celebrate the many ways our university is united in purpose to Do Good. Explore them to hear from Terps about what inspires them, the questions that sparked their ideas, and the impact they've created. Walk through the "Rings," snap a pic with the Do Good Sign, or step inside our Students Change the World Digital Exhibit.
Learn more about the Do Good Plaza or explore our digital brochure.
