		The first College was founded in 1962 in response to the challenges of the Cold War, but recent regional and ethnic hostilities and the accelerating problems of the environment demonstrate that the need for the UWC is even more urgent today.
		As soon as a student enters a UWC, he or she becomes part of the UWC International Network, which includes almost 20,000 former students and staff, and encourages its members to remain active and true to the ideals upon which the UWC education is built.
		Students are expected to have a high record of academic achievement, but the final selection will be decided by their personal qualities, including the maturity and independence to spend (a minimum of) 2 years living and studying away from home, and convincing evidence of enthusiasm for the ideals of the United World Colleges.
