It’s always an intense start for new students (and their families!) at the beginning of the UWC journey, but life-changing experiences are challenging not by accident, but by design. For those who are further along the UWC path - whether in year two, as alumni from the last 50 years or someone who simply believes in the movement and mission – thank you for being a part of a community that strives to bring the UWC Values into the world to make a positive difference. That is no small thing in the world today, and it is more than enough. Our wider Pearson community contributes in countless ways: some through leadership, through service, and always through the everyday act of choosing compassion, peace, and sustainability in their lives and communities. As a collective, these actions can never be small. Thank you for being part of this remarkable community. Your presence, your choices, and your values continue to shape our world for the better. Jason McBride - Head of College | Artistic Impression - Beyond the academics of a Pearson Education The Big Apple, well known for tourist attractions like Central Park, Times Square, and the Empire State Building, is also a mecca for artistic talent. You don’t need to visit The Met or The Guggenheim to immerse yourself, peruse some of New York’s neighbourhoods, and you may have an unexpected encounter with the creative influence of Xenoduo.
