Co-founded in 2000 by philanthropist Shelby Davis and veteran international educator Phil Geier, the Davis UWC Scholars Program has grown to become the world’s largest international scholarship program for undergraduates. Its strategic objective is to advance international understanding through education.

With 33 Davis UWC Scholars entering Brown this academic year, the university became one of just two institutions, along with Colby College, to have won the Davis Cup three or more times in the program’s 14-year history. “At Brown, we seek to train the leaders of tomorrow, and that means Executive Director Phil Geier presents the Davis preparing students for truly global citizenship,” President Paxson said.

16 Uniting the World Davis United World College Scholars Program 17 The Davis Vision Investing in Hope
by Shelby M.C. Davis
am often asked what I hope to accomplish with the Davis UWC Scholars IProgram. I must say, my ambitions have grown alongside the program! I am now trying to plant seeds of hope for the world by helping to educate 2,500 students each year who can make a difference. Because of their unique UWC school experience, these students are ideal messengers. They are energetic and driven, and they have “winning habits” — their optimism and can-do attitude is contagious. They spread cultural understanding, empathy for others, tolerance, and hope to those Transformational philanthropists Gale and Shelby Davis they meet. Increasingly, Davis UWC Scholars are becoming role models for others to follow. Nelson Mandela, Honorary President of UWC International, recently put it this way: “The striking thing about UWC students is that they embrace the entire world across all divides of race, history, culture, wealth, religion, economic status, and political belief: they are unique and they are conscious of their responsibilities.” My mother, who is now 106, still influences me greatly as to what is truly important for our world. Fifteen years ago, Mikhail Gorbachev spoke at her 90th birthday party. To this day, she and he share a passion for peace on earth. In a recent message to the UWC movement, Gorbachev wrote: “During the years of its existence, your movement has been able to considerably influence several generations of students from many countries in a spirit of mutual respect, peace, and sustainable development. Today this mission is as important as ever. “...Our collective security can no longer focus primarily on the security of states: it must focus on the security of people,” Gorbachev declared. “Wars and militarism cannot achieve real human security. ... I applaud your commitment to achieving change through peaceful and moral means. The world needs your enthusiasm. Let us join our efforts in a common quest for peace, justice, and a sustainable future.” Philanthropists Shelby and Gale Davis engage with their scholars on campuses throughout the U.S. and around the world.

In the process they Kathryn W. Davis promoted trust and collaboration, which had been discouraged by people’s experience of war. Details of their project appears on page 22. “Peace is when people come together, lay down their prejudices, and just work together,” Prince reflected. “That’s a development.”And this was just one of 123 Projects for Peace carried out around the world last summer, 37 of them led or President Ronald O.
