As Jason Malkofsky-Berger, Elana Sichel and Jonathan Taylor graduate this week from Robert H. Smith School of Business, they’ll celebrate another prestigious accomplishment as well – being honored with a 2021 Do Good Medallion. They are among the 40 Class of 2021 graduates to receive the medallion from the University of Maryland’s Do Good Institute.

As the first “Do Good” campus in the United States, the University of Maryland encourages its students and alumni to work to make a lasting, positive impact wherever they go. Few alumni “do good” better than L. Seth Statler, MBA ’87, who has dedicated a 30-year career to honoring fallen firefighters and helping their families.

Maryland Smith students are helping to make the world a better place one project at a time. During the 2021 Do Good Challenge hosted in April by the University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy, two teams featuring students from the Robert H. Smith School of Business showcased how they are making a difference through their work and an opportunity for a share of the $20,000 prize pool.
