UNITING THE WORLD Davis UWC Scholars

The 2012 Report of the Davis United World College Scholars Program “I’m trying to stimulate leaders of the future to make a difference through the grounding in education that I’m helping to give them. When I started my business career, I took my own history lesson from Princeton: I learned how leaders make a difference, in their countries, in their centuries. So I invested in leaders, and that investment helped me to be successful. …I’m looking to invest again in leaders of the future.”

SHELBY M.C. DAVIS Co-founder and Philanthropist UNITING THE WORLD

“We strive to build critical masses of globally minded young men and women on American campuses, to foster highly personal relationships between outstanding Americans and non-Americans, and to seed global networks. These networks can serve a higher calling of international understanding and common purpose among future leaders in all walks of life in our world.”

16 Uniting the World Davis United World College Scholars Program 17 Making Philanthropy Come Alive “Very Good for the Soul”

by Shelby M.C. Davis

From the co-founder of the Davis United World College Program, whose generosity makes the program possible, this message is adapted from a talk Shelby Davis gave to his 1958 Princeton classmates in 2011 .

hey say philanthropy, like chicken soup, is good for the soul. But can it T also keep you young at heart? Through my involvement with the Davis UWC Scholars Program, I have discovered that the answer is a very real “yes.” The story of our work together began back in 1997. I was about 60 then, and was retiring from a career in the investment field. Years before, Transformational philanthropists Gale and Shelby Davis my parents had instilled in me the idea that the first third of our lives should be devoted to learning, the second to earning, and the final third to returning. I wanted to devote my “return” phase to a form of philanthropy that would be really meaningful — that might truly make a difference. In the spirit of entrepreneurship, I wanted to find a need and fill it. All I needed was that big idea! In my business career, searching for the best companies to invest in, I had focused on finding the most promising leaders. That was key to our success. Now I was seeking a new focus, but I retained these same guiding values. Doing my research, I saw that the globalization of our world was a major trend, a lasting one that would hugely impact our educational needs. I learned that only three percent of undergraduates at U.S. colleges and universities were international, while 30-45 percent of students at our graduate schools had come from other nations. I thought about the motto of Princeton, my alma mater: “In the nation’s service and in the service of all nations.” As we approached the new millennium, I knew colleges across the U.S. would be pressed to change — to become more international, more globally oriented. I was seeing a need. But how to fill it? Philanthropists Shelby and Gale Davis engage with their scholars on campuses throughout the U.S. and around the world.

About this same time, luck stepped in. I visited a school in New Mexico When UWC students apply to our member colleges, those U.S. called the United World College of the USA. As the guest of its excellent institutions retain full control of their admission and financial-aid then-president, Dr. Philip O. Geier, I learned that UWC-USA belonged process. They, too, invest in our scholars. Our program only meets up to a family of similar two-year schools around the world — that its to 40 percent of each Davis UWC Scholar’s financial need, with the host Shelby and Gale Davis with Colorado College International Baccalaureate program of study was intense and electric, Davis UWC Scholars. college or university responsible for meeting the rest. its students were international, and its program united cultures, religions, I myself see no applications, conduct no interviews. My job is to Shelby and Gale Davis, flanked by fellow Davis and races in respect for difference and zeal for engagement. write checks, with no limit on the number of students in the program. UWC Scholar philanthropists Eleanor and Bert Schweigaard-Olsen, at a Ringling College of I was blown away by the idealism, energy, and motivation I found at the UWC. I learned My one requirement remains the same — that each Davis UWC Art & Design cultural event. about the history of the UWC movement, which began in the chilliest years of the Cold War. I Scholar be a UWC graduate who earns admission to a member college read a letter from one student’s mother, who spoke of a holiday break where “the students all on his or her own merit. gathered around my kitchen table: a girl from Palestine, a boy from Israel, a boy from Yemen.” I saw that this school was building leaders: young people with global vision, and with a passion for “The World Needs Dreamers Who Do” building bridges. So what do I get out of all this? I get enormous personal satisfaction and reward. I spoke about what I had learned with other leaders in international business, and at Princeton On my visits to our member colleges and universities, I hear again and again that Davis UWC — and then I had a breakthrough idea. I would fund scholarships for any UWC graduate who Scholars are enriching and internationalizing the learning and teaching experience — not just for could win admission, on his or her own merit, to one of five American colleges and universities. themselves, but for their entire college communities. I’m proud to learn that Davis UWC Scholars In 2000, when Dr. Geier and I co-created the Davis United World College Scholars Program, are winning academic honors and service awards, including, as this publication details, Rhodes we had 43 DUWC Scholars from 31 countries. Today we have 2,451 scholars from 146 nations, Scholarships and recognition by the Clinton Global Initiative. and we’re working with 94 partner colleges and universities across the United States.
