William Davidson

for the Weizmann

ROBERT A. SKLAR

loomfield Hills philan-
thropist William Davidson
has pledged $20 million to
create the Davidson
Institute of Science Education at the
Weizmann Institute of Science. The
Rehovot, Israel, campus marks its
50th anniversary this week.
The hope is that the Davidson
Institute becomes an incubator for
programs and materials that raise the
bar for science teaching worldwide.
"Today, and in the future, Israel's
greatest national resource is the
knowledge and creativity of its peo-
ple," said Davidson, president and
CEO of the Auburn Hills-based
Guardian Industries, managing part-
ner of the Detroit Pistons and an
owner of the Palace of Auburn Hills.

"I am hopeful that this Institute of

come together to take science teach-
ing to new levels of excellence," said
Davidson, 76, a Weizmann Institute
supporter for 14 years.
Professor Haim Harari, Weizmann
Institute president, said the gift will
"enable us to consolidate all of our
science education activities under one
roof and establish a world-class insti-
tute devoted solely to this subject."
The international science research
center and graduate school, located
near Tel Aviv, is home to 2,500 scien-
tists, students, technicians and engi-
neers. It's the largest producer of sci-
ence-teaching aids in Israel for junior
high and high school students.
Campus research projects include
fighting disease and hunger, protect-
ing the environment and harnessing
alternative sources of energy.
One of the Davidson Institute's goals
will be to stir interest in science among
all Israeli students, especially the disad-
vantaged and new immigrants.
