The Do Good Campus Strategic Leadership Council, in collaboration with Provost Rice and the Do Good Institute, awarded more than $415,000 in grants to faculty, staff and student groups driving meaningful change across campus in spring 2025.

Among them, three BSOS-led projects were selected as recipients. 

Expanding Access to Amputee Healthcare through Human Subject Research ($5,000)

Led by: Jesse Martin, SOCY '26

This student-led project addresses the need to develop more affordable healthcare options for the amputee community. They aim to develop a prosthetic prototype by conducting trials with amputees and refining the design for future production. The funds will be used to enhance the open-source prosthetics design, buy 3D printing materials and assemble prosthetics for those in need.

The Unlocked Project ($5,000)

Led by: Anna Tovchigrechko, PSYC & CCJS '26

This student-led project supports their peers affected by parental incarceration, helping them cope with shame, isolation, stigma and mental health challenges. With this funding, the project will scale its impact by providing students with care packages, book scholarships and access to mental health resources and support.

Saturday Freedom School Project ($30,000)

Led by: Marshal Washington, AAAS Assistant Program Director

This project will offer university students practicum or experiential learning credit as they help to develop curricula for a course on the history of Freedom Schools. Funds will be used for civic engagement, mentorship training and curriculum development.
