Graduates in Action

With four graduated classes of Davis UWC Scholars now making their unique marks throughout the world, we’re gratified, although not surprised, to see that the dominant theme among them is “giving back.” Of course, that is one of the tenets of our program, but we are always amazed at how wonderfully creative and courageous the Davis UWC Scholars are in their real-world endeavors.

What follows in the next few pages only hints at the scope of international possibilities for our commencing scholars and for those looking forward to that next transition. The work of these few former students gives us confidence that this program is launching thoughtful leaders into a world filled with a critical need for them.
