Josh Centor, a recent graduate of Brandeis University writes an outstanding blog for the NCAA. On April 25th, Josh posted the following item on the Institute's 2011 World Peace Summit at www.doubleazone.com.
"It’s all about peace. Holocaust survivor and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, along with Institute for International Sport Founder and Executive Director Dan Doyle, announced the Institute’s World Peace Summit would take place in 2011. The Summit will bring together thousands of graduates from past Scholar-Athlete Games, as well as representatives from the United Nations member states, for five days of discussion about challenges associated with world peace. Doyle founded the Institute in 1986 with the vision that athletics could help foster friendship and goodwill across the world. The Institute established the World Scholar-Athlete Games, last held in 2006 at the University of Rhode Island. Delegates from 157 countries were represented at the Games, and former President Bill Clinton delivered the keynote address to participants. Doyle and the Institute have already brought so many people and cultures together and the Peace Summit, which will be held in conjunction with the organization’s 25th anniversary, will certainly make a significant impact in our fight for world peace."
