Do Good Month

United in Purpose to Do Good

Do Good is the university-wide commitment to create a campus that empowers individuals to change our world for good. Your Alumni Association is committed to continuing this Maryland tradition by nurturing a culture of philanthropy, volunteerism and advocacy across our global network of alums.

During the month of April, Terps come together to Do Good in their communities, in addition to celebrating the impact alums have had over the past year. We challenge you to take action and join us in one or more ways to give back.
