"100 Projects for Peace" Info Session

Event Detail
Date: Tuesday, November 10
Time: 7:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.
Description:

Interested in making the world a more peaceful place? The “100 Projects for Peace” program, an initiative of the Davis UWC Foundation, provides funding for undergraduates to create and implement their own grassroots projects for building peace in the 21st-century world. Amherst College is among a selected group of U.S. colleges and universities invited to nominate one or two student project proposals for consideration. Through a competitive process, the Davis Foundation will then select 100 projects for funding of $10,000 each during the Summer of 2010. Overall, the 100 projects will be worldwide in scope and impact; individual projects may be undertaken anywhere, including the U.S. A proposal may be submitted by an individual student or by a group of Amherst students. Students from all class years (including graduating seniors) are eligible. Preliminary information, including questions and answers and last year’s selected projects, is available at www.davisprojectsforpeace.org. Interested students should not contact the Davis UWC Foundation directly. Instead, questions should be directed to Dean Frances Tuleja, the Amherst College program liaison, in the Dean of Students' Office, at 413-542-2529 or fetuleja@amherst.edu. An information session for interested students will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. in the Career Center.
