For almost 30 years, students who have been involved with Maryland PIRG
campus chapters have not only learned how to investigate a problem and
come up with a practical solution. We've also learned how to convince
the media and decision-makers to pay attention and take action.
In
other words, through Maryland PIRG we gain an educational experience in
democratic citizenship. In addition, we get a chance to face up to
society's big problems, take action, and win concrete changes that
improve the quality of our lives.
The student PIRGs—located on nearly 100 campuses—give students the opportunity to get informed and get active on the issues that affect their lives while training the next generation of leaders. Read more about the student PIRGs at www.studentpirgs.org.
