 Hamline
University's Center for Global Environmental
Education (CGEE) envisions sustainable cultural and ecological
communities. CGEE specializes in combining environmental education
with distance learning technology, while integrating hands-on learning
to build community among students and teachers world-wide. There are
four cornerstones to CGEE and their mission are: professional
development of teachers, educational
media productions, community
education, and hands-on learning and stewardship programs
for K-12 classrooms.
CGEE's current inquiry-based programs - A
Thousand Friends of Frogs, Self
Expressing Earth, and Rivers of
Life - build on this tradition of trend-setting quality. The
programs focus on current environmental issues and take advantage
of the best educational methodologies born of Hamline
University's extensive teacher training experience.

 Global
Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE)
is a worldwide network of students, teachers, and scientists working
together to study and understand the global environment. Students
and teachers from over 6,000 schools in more than 70 countries are
working with research scientists to learn more about our planet.
GLOBE students make environmental observations at or near their schools
and report their data through the Internet. Scientists use GLOBE data in
their research and provide feedback to the students to enrich their science
education. Global images based on GLOBE student data are displayed on the
World Wide Web, enabling students and other visitors to visualize the student
environmental observations.
The U.S. GLOBE Program enters into partnerships with U.S. organizations
which undertake efforts to recruit GLOBE schools, train GLOBE teachers,
and mentor GLOBE students in their areas.
