By the Numbers: BSOS Giving Day 2022 Success

On Wednesday, March 9, 383 alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents and friends helped the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences raise $257,250 in just 24 hours during the University of Maryland’s annual Giving Day!

Many of these donations—167% more this year than in 2021—were directed to the BSOS Diversity Fund, which supports numerous diversity initiatives and programs within the college, including the Anti-Black Racism Initiative, Summer Research Initiative (SRI), Promoting Achievement and Diversity in Economics (PADE), The Psychology Research Empowerment Program (PREP) and The Justice Thurgood Marshall Center. Other funds featured on Giving Day generated much-needed support for student internships and scholarships, clinical services in the departments of Psychology and Hearing and Speech Sciences, climate change research and tools in the Department of Geographical Sciences, and more.

For more information on the impacts of Giving Day donations, follow developments on the BSOS website, as well as our Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts.
