How We Got Our Name

罗恩·戴维斯在商业上取得了很少有人梦寐以求的成就. 他在企业家中的履历是众所周知的. Having traveled the globe, Davis established meaningful relationships and life-long friendships throughout the world. 然而,商业上的成功并不是他今天生活的意义所在. Providing upward mobility for youth and a pathway to a better future has been the focus of his life for more than two decades. He believes each individual human being contains within them equal intrinsic value. He values a world where education plays the continuing role of equalizing opportunity for all people to pursue the higher aim of their choice. The newly established Davis School of Business at Colorado Mesa University will provide a legacy for the values Ron Davis believes can enrich the lives of young people through his philanthropy. 

In 1998, 戴维斯在加州州立大学创立了“卫报学者”, 先给富勒顿250美元,000. The program derived its name from the fact that nearly all the original recipients were former foster youth, and in some respects lacked the “guardians” needed to provide support and resources to further their education. Hence, the Guardian Scholars program was created to cover the cost of their education and provide support. 也许同样重要的是,奖学金还提供了指导机会. The program has graduated more than 700 students since its inception and expanded to more than 70 colleges and universities. 

Davis also serves on the board and his service mirrors the values implicit in his philanthropy. He always matches his financial contributions with his time, talent, and treasures. 以CMU的戴维斯商学院为例, his significant investment in CMU scholarships and students will be matched by his tireless efforts on the governing board of the university. 

从企业高管到慈善领袖, 戴维斯的遗产并不是固定在建筑的砖瓦上, but in the hearts and lives of the people who have knowledge woven into the fabric of their lives and families because of this generosity.
