�� We have an Instagram takeover today from Faith & Gabrielle at the @petalprojectumd! 🌹 Faith & Gabrielle are current sophomores, and both have participated in the Do Good Accelerator Fellows program to scale up their project. The Petal Project is a 6-week initiative aimed at addressing relationship abuse on the University of Maryland campus. Through a series of activities, events, and social media outreach, the project seeks to spread resources for victims, raise awareness about the issue, and foster positivity and community!

This past Tuesday the 2024 Do Good Challenge was nothing short of inspiring! More than $20,000 was up for grabs as six purpose-driven student teams showcased their impactful initiatives. From combating hate fueled violence to launching CPR training centers globally, these teams exemplify the Terp spirit to tackle real world problems 🌎🧠💭 We’re proud to announce that App Dev Club and the 2nd LT Richard W. Collins III Foundation received the top $5,000 awards for their outstanding impact. App Dev Club also received the $2,500 Finalist Audience Choice Award. Congratulations to each of the finalist teams on all the hard work and dedication that has led you to this point. We can’t wait to see what you do next! #DoGoodUMD 🐢❤️
