🐢💡UMD’s First Student Think Tank Designs Community-driven Health Solutions! The Terrapin Think Tank, founded and run by SPH students, is finding solutions to key health issues in PG County. “We want to increase the civic engagement and partnership between the university and our surrounding communities,” said Madeleine Eng ‘28, TTT's associate director of teaching and recruitment and a neuroscience and public policy double major. Started in 2021 by SPH alumni Daniel Fong '23 and Isha Yardi ‘23, the Terrapin Think Tank today includes 14 student fellows from across UMD who are now collaborating with Prince George's County Public Schools on three projects. “Our goal is to improve the quality of life and health for the PG County communities. We want all students to partake in that, so Terrapin Think Tank is open to UMD students regardless of major,” said Angela Kabiwa ‘28, TTT's associate director of communications and a public health science major.
