Page i Western Carolinian February 28. 2007 JESTERN CAROLINIZ Serving WCU and Cullowhee, North Carolina BREAKING NEWS Clinton Launches Global Campaign Current student campaigns set back drop for Clinton presidental nomina- tion. By: William Seth Wade Contributing Writer At 2:20p.m. EST on Feb. 13 student media organizations from across the country literally dialed-in on current global issues with former presi- dent Bill Clinton who was joined by Scott Cowen, president of Tulane Uni- | star ted CG versity. Made possible by MTV-U, the 4 conference call provided an intimate | first encounter with the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), a 501c3 non-partisan organization devoted to challenging multi-sector organizations, firms and individuals to tackle global problems by making annual commitments for practical, measurable and innovative solutions to the most pressing global is- sues. Scott Cowen and former president Clinton himself reached out to U.S. college student media organizations to promote the launch the CGI University (CGI-U) chapter of the international effort, which has been winning victo- ries on all fronts since its inception in 2005. The CGI has wonl000 com- mitments that touch approximately 800,000 lives and has generated tens of millions of dollars in support toward specific purpose-driven projects both internationally and domestically. The critical objective of the CGI-U on the other hand is to create the. next gen- that is, for students. eration of action; to be active in curbing the worst effects of global climate change, disease, hun- ger, and poverty through civic engage- ment and socially responsible public policies. For former president Clinton, Scott Cowen and thousands of univer- sity and secondary school students, the solutions begin on our campuses. Scott Cowen of Tulane Univer- sity, which is to host the first CGI-U na- tional conference in March of this year, boasted a new Public Service MA pro- gram and the establishment of the New Orleans Hurricane Fund, a totally stu- dent-lead family-sponsorship and com- munity-rebuilding initiative, as a result of the impact of the massive Katrina di- saster on the lives of tens of thousands of citizens living in and around the New Orleans area. Tulane is a model of CGI-U. In 2003 it developed plans to sponsor community-rebuilding initia- tives and established itself as the first major research university to require undergraduates to perform community service in order to receive a degree, branding civic engagement as a student way of life. Photot Credit: www.ClintonGloballnitiative.org The first annual CGI-U meeting at Tulane corresponds with the 4th an- nual meeting in New York City and an International Meeting in Hong Kong, bringing international efforts to the student front. As stated by Cowen, the CGI-Us convergence at Tulane aims to transform youth and hopefully trans- orm the world by engaging students in the most pressing global issues, empowering students to run and vol- unteer for campaigns, and by training students with the necessary universal skills needed to instantiate bold visions of a just and sustainable future. Former president Clinton states, College stu- dents have greatest capacity to cause. social change, and he would know having organized successful grassroots campaigns himself as an undergradu- ate at Georgetown. Clinton describes CGI-U as an organization that focuses on youth in America. All college and university students are welcome to ap- ply and each applicant is asked to de- scribe a commitment on which they are interested in working. You can apply online at www.CGIU.org One of the strengths Clinton points out that college students have that allows them to contribute to this international movement is that col- lege students have the ability to ef- fectively network as never before and know what needs to be done together to make a real difference in our coun- try. College students are also ready to examine challenges, build relationships at CGLU [duri and make commitments. Make your personal commitment at www. cen mitment.org. Clinton envisions that we [CGI members] will bring 500 stu- dents with university presidents, non- profit groups and social entrepreneurs basically we will have our leaders Tulane]. demonstrates his personal commitment to university student empowerment. He cites the success of Challah-For- Hunger, a student organization started by Ellie Winkelmen to raise funds for Darfur and to support aggressive U.S. lobby groups working to bring political justice to the genocidal crisis. Clinton also argues that if each U.S. university were to go climate neutral under the Campus Climate Challenge, a student- run initiative that demands universities to commit to accomplishing zero car- bon emissions within 15 years, then US greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by 6-7% from current lev- els. Clinton also argues that the great- est contribution that the U.S. university students can make in terms of CGI-U commitments is to lobby for their cam- puses to go climate neutral. Rise to the Challenge at .ClimateChallenge.org. Clinton demands that U.S. stu- dent advocacy be valued institutionally across national borderlines. For him, New Orleans is one place to start. We support and we focus on these issues because the United States will not be \dur the. convergence at In his book Giving; Clinton whole again until it makes good on our commitment to the people of New Or- leans and the people of the Gulf Coast so that we can completely recover from hurricane Katrina. Making good on a commitment to the people of New Orleans does not stop at getting 500 students, administrators and volunteers to devote one day of relief work to the area, but is an ongoing process that has many dimensions of address. The Gulf Restoration Network (GRN), a 501c3 devoted to protecting the Gulf Coast from environmental injustice, attributes the worst consequences of Hurricane Katrina to the loss of more that 50% of the Gulf Coasts storm-blocking wet- . lands due primarily to the clear-cutting of Cypress for use in manufacturing mulch. According to the GNCs mis- sion, Wetlands loss often leads to declining water quality, a loss of habitat for wildlife and commercial fisheries species, and increased vulnerability to hurricanes and floods for coastal com- munities. The CGIs commitment effec- tively reaches beyond New Orleans into improved environmental steward- ship in general. One of the best ways to protect the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast from future storm threats is to diminish the destructive power of storms by reclaiming and protecting the natural wetlands of the Gulf Coast. The CGI and CGLU are both 501c3 non-profit organizations enabling students, social entrepreneurs, academ- ics, as well as industry and non-profit leaders to change ideas into actions through manageable annual commit- ments. Thoughtfully, the CGI is a sin- gularly non-partisan enabler or conduit of change, not the change-maker itself. A non-partisan environment that unifies cross-sector leadership on social justice and sustainability issues is an ideal and safe forum in which in- dividuals are able to engage around sa- lient issues such as climate change and poverty on more than just one dimen- sion, but where does the brainstorming of tangible solutions and the initiation of those solutions happen? By empow- ering individuals to make commitments to annual solutions for global issues, whether we talk about economic stimu- lus, industry-wide transitions, public policy, advocacy, or the orientation of curriculum and the focus of research, inevitably CGI-U participants are put- ting demands on the political system. The CGI and CGI-U_initia- tives ultimately become partisan on the floors of our nations governmental in- stitutions. The focus of the CGI-U on cont. pg 3 Lights, Camera, Cure The University Center Cardinal Room | was filled with passionate students kicking off Western Carolina Universi- | tys Relay For Life event on Wednesday | evening, February 13.
