"I would like to express my appreciation for this exceptionally prestigious award in sciences. I feel deeply honored and extremely grateful. Receiving the 2008 Albert Einstein World Award of Science has a special meaning for me, as undoubtedly Albert Einstein is a superb model to follow! His creativity, originality and accomplishments have inspired me and played a special role in my studies. Even as a high school student I was stimulated by his concepts and originality. Hence I chose the Special Relative Theory as my Physics Project."

Prof. William G. BowenProf. William G. Bowen, President Emeritus of Princeton University and President Emeritus of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation received the 2008 José Vasconcelos World Award of Education from Professor Edmond H. Fischer, President of the World Cultural Council and Professor Shirley M. Tilghman, President Princeton University.

"Thank you. I am humbled and honored to accept the 2008 José Vasconcelos World Cultural Award of Education.

It has been my great privilege to study, to learn, to write, and to teach alongside wonderful colleagues from all over the world. Having grown up in Southern Ohio in a family that had no real experience of higher education, I was fortunate from an early age to have not only the encouragement of my parents, but also the support and guidance of wonderful teachers at Wyoming High School. This school was diverse, and I had classmates and friends from all backgrounds."

"So, today, we thank the World Cultural Council for allowing us to celebrate once again the power of science and of learning in a world badly in need of individuals from many backgrounds and places committed to pursuing humanistic ideals."

Prof. William G. Bowen
