APRIL IS DO GOOD MONTH

In April, Terps come together to accelerate impact in our communities.

Public research universities are uniquely positioned to make a positive difference in the lives of our citizens and across the globe, because universities have a combination of values, assets and problem-solving approaches that simply doesn’t exist elsewhere.
