100 Projects for Peace

Davis Projects for Peace

We are very pleased to share with you the list of the project proposals that have been selected to receive funding for the Davis Projects for Peace. We are very grateful to all the students who submitted proposals and the many faculty and staff on all those campuses across the country who played a part in evaluating and submitting the students' work. Mrs. Davis sends her congratulations to all for your creativity and commitment.

One college president wrote the following about the process: "...if the 100 Projects for Peace stimulated as much initiative across other campuses as it did here, it can be declared a success already -- it is a wonderfully conceived catalyst for public service in the best sense of the word." We hope the dialogue and inventiveness demonstrated to date will indeed lead to truly meaningful projects in the field this summer.
