Student Organizations
Make the most of your Scholars experience by getting involved in the community! College Park Scholars has a rich history of supporting student organizations. We also run a number of our own student organizations, making it easy to gain leadership experience right from the start of your college career. (Many of these groups were, in fact, founded by Scholars students who saw a need within the community and worked with Scholars faculty and staff to fill it.)

But it turns out the flu may be even more contagious through the air than we had thought.University of Maryland Professor Don Milton and several other researchers just released new findings that the flu may actually be spread just by breathing. For students of College Park Scholars, the discovery underscores the unique opportunity they have to be involved in groundbreaking public health research.
