100 Projects for Peace

100 Projects for Peace is an initiative for all Lewis & Clark College students to design their own grassroots projects for peace that they themselves will implement anywhere in the world during the summer of 2008. This is the second year of the 100 Projects for Peace program.

A $10,000 award will be given to an individual or group that submits the winning proposal. President Thomas J. Hochstettler will contribute an additional $2,500 toward expenses.

Funding for the $10,000 award comes from Mrs. Kathryn Wasserman Davis, a lifelong internationalist and journalist, who celebrated her 100th birthday last year by donating $1 million for 100 grants stating, "I want to use my 100th birthday to help young people launch some immediate initiatives that could bring new thinking to the prospects for peace in the world." Mrs. Davis is the mother of Shelby Davis who funds the Davis United World College Scholars Program at Lewis & Clark College and at 85 selected liberal arts colleges in the US.

More information about 100 Projects for Peace and a Question/Answer website are available.

A copy of the President's letter to students is also available.

Proposals from Lewis & Clark College students are to be submitted by January 31, 2008.
