“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.”

“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.”

Fifteen Years of the Davis United
World College Scholars Program
By Philip O. Geier, PhD, Executive Director
T he 21st century has brought a changed and ever-changing global
landscape. Greater challenges, threats, and uncertainties haunt
humanity. There are no clear or easy solutions. The pace is quickening.
Information is abundant and readily accessible, yet knowledge and true
wisdom seem elusive. It is in this context that the Davis United World
College (UWC) Scholars Program invests extensively and with confidence
in the promise and future possibilities of selected scholars from around the
world and their education at partner colleges and universities across the
United States.
The founders visited several of the United World College

for undergraduates. Its strategic objective is to advance international
understanding through education. The program is built on two assumptions: one, that promising
future leaders from a broad range of cultures should be afforded greater educational opportunities
and serve to accelerate global networking; two, that these educational opportunities take place at
leading U.S. colleges and universities, in the belief that these American schools will become more
effective learning communities for all their students by becoming more internationally diverse and
globally engaged.
