Maryland Made: Student-Athletes Crush B1G Reading Week

The B1G Reading Week initiative is dedicated to empowering student-athletes by encouraging them to make a positive impact through reading books to youth. Through Big Impact Reading Week, the Big Ten continues to champion the importance of education, empathy, and inclusivity, creating a sense of community that extends beyond the playing field. 

“B1G Reading Week was a great way for us as athletes to give back to the community,” women’s golf’s Julia Garcia said. “Especially being at the University of Maryland, I feel it is important to not only spread our Terrapin pride but represent and support our state whenever we can. It was such a pleasure to be able to read, talk to the kids, and hopefully inspire them about our paths in college athletics!”
