100 Projects for Peace returns!

Sponsored by the Davis United World College Scholars Program,100 Projects for Peace is an invitation to all undergraduates enrolled as of fall 2007 to design grassroots projects that they will implement during the summer of 2008. The 100 projects judged to be the most promising and do-able will be funded at $10,000 each. The objective is to encourage and support today’s motivated youth to create and tryout their own ideas for building peace in the 21st century. One SAIC student is guaranteed to realize his or her project.

Students will submit 2-page proposals and 1-page budgets for their projects, which can be collaborative and need not be art-based. To support this process, Michael Ryan, and Nancy Gildart will present a workshop on proposal development, Tuesday, November 13 from 4:15 to 6 p.m. in 1240 Sullivan. The SAIC deadline is January 15, 2007. 3 finalists will be chosen by a faculty committee and submitted to the Davis UWC Scholars office. You can contact Nancy Gildart at ngildart@saic.edu.
