What is the context
Founded in 1982 the United World CollegeUSA is one of 18 United World College (UWC) campuses worldwide and the only campus in the United States. The UWC movement seeks to make education a force to unite people nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. As such UWCUSA values and promotes all manner of inclusion diversity equity and access as part of our fundamental mission to bring people together across differences in service of a more peaceful and sustainable world. Our students are selected through national committees in more than 150 countries and nearly 85 of our students are on scholarship ensuring unparalleled national and socioeconomic diversity in our student body. With expeditionary placebased and experiential learning at the center of our academic program and a strong residential curriculum in our multinational/multicultural boarding environment UWCUSA stretches its students faculty and staff to learn and grow in a multiperspectival community dedicated to democratic processes as reflective of our country location and traditions.
What do we want our education to prepare young people for
UWCs mission began in response to the international tensions of the Cold War. Its mission to bring young people together before their prejudices are solidified in service of peace and a sustainable future is as important as ever. In the world our students know the main obstacles to unity remain differences in identity that too often separate us from one another: nationality culture language religion ethnicity race gender and sexual identity. The main obstacles to peace and sustainability today are not entirely new either but the globalizing forces of our age have reshaped them. No matter where our students come from they increasingly see these challenges up close in local national or international settings:
Beginning in theacademic year the educational program at UWCUSA will seek to prepare students for these four global challenges by taking students out of the classroom to meet with organizations and institutions in northern New Mexico on a biweekly basis. For learning to prepare young people for these challenges of the future we are committed to ensuring that they graduate from UWCUSA with contextualized realworld understandings of the complexities of the challenges ahead.
