Walk and Bike Challenge: Bike Newberg
 The Center for Global Studies participates in the Bike Newberg challenge.

This challenge is meant to promote walking and biking to school,
work, and church throughout the month of May.  All interested individuals,
businesses, churches, and school groups can track their mode of
transportation for each day. Tracking sheets can be found on the
Bike Newberg website or can be picked up at City Hall.

The Center for Global Studies affirms – along with the likes of MLK Jr.
and others – that the local and the global are integrally interconnected.
How we engage locally affects global understanding and activity.  
Healthy local participation lends itself to healthy global interaction

Center for Environmental Leadership with support from GFU through the
Center for Peace and Justice and the Center for Global Studies

ZipCode Calling is a one-day event for Christian pastors and leaders to
discover the principles of great placemaking and also provide them with
tools to help design and build great places, or redesign, retrofit, and redeem
hurting places in our communities.

Founded in late 2010, the Center For Environmental Leadership is a joint
