“What excites me most about UWC is encapsulated in the opening phrase of our Mission Statement: ‘UWC makes education a force…’. The ideal that education can and should be that force for the common good, and that this is the focus of our UWC raison d’etre, continues to inspire me, as I hope it does all of our students, staff and friends around the world.”
