Six university-student teams pitched their philanthropic ventures and projects to a panel of judges yesterday night, in an effort to win the university’s Do Good Challenge.

The annual competition sponsored by Morgan Stanley — a financial services corporation — inspires university students to come up with an idea to make a difference for a cause they’re passionate about within an eight-week period, said Robert Grimm Jr., public policy professor and creator of the Do Good Challenge.

“We want to make philanthropy a pillar of the university experience,” Grimm said.
