Winter Break

Maryland Today is (mostly) in hibernation until Jan. 26. We’re not sending daily emails, but are occasionally updating the website with timely articles and other information. Good luck on finals, and have a safe, fun winter break!

Students, Recent Alums Invited to Apply for Do Good Challenge

The Do Good Challenge application is now open to Terps who are advocating, fundraising, volunteering and/or developing solutions for pressing social issues.

The 2021 event will be held as a series of virtual events throughout “Do Good Month” in April, when six finalist teams will showcase their social impact projects and ventures for a chance to win a share of more than $20,000.

All Terps and supporters will be invited to watch video pitches, explore virtual Q&As and get insider looks at student teams’ work, all culminating in the Do Good Challenge Awards Premiere, where viewers can tune in, vote for their favorite teams, and enjoy a night of fun and celebration to see which teams take home the top prizes.

Current students and recent alums must apply by 11:59 p.m. Jan. 8 for a chance to make it to the Challenge's virtual stage. The Do Good Institute is hosting virtual Q&A sessions about what makes a great application at 7 p.m. Dec. 17 and 2 p.m. Jan. 5. Sign up to join one of these sessions.
