UMD Raising India Socially and Economically

RISE was founded at the University of Maryland. UMD RISE is the undergraduate chapter at the College Park campus. This student group works to encourage philanthropy and awareness of social and economic issues in India. We are restructuring from the past organization AID. We hope to organized campus wide fundraisers to promote our mission including 40 Yards for Education, Masquerade Ball, and Lassi Luau. RISE encourages discussion related to injustice in India among students by hosting general body meetings where students can come together in an open forum to express their opinions, their concerns, and their hopes for the future of India.
