PBA’s Walk/Run for Peace and the Peace Core Curriculum at the School
I’m a little torn about how to approach my entry for the first issue of the What’s New at PBA for 2026. Peeling back the veil a little, we ordinarily feature the Walk/Run for Peace in the new year’s issue. PBA’s edition of the walk-a-thon gets branding as a peace-related event, being scheduled so near the remembrance of one of our heroes in Martin Luther King, Jr., but given the global and national disruptions to peace in the recent overthrow of Nicolás Maduro and the killing of a U.S. citizen by federal agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it feels trite somehow to publicize our modest walk and ask supporters to give in support of our programs for tuition assistance at PBA.
But then I look at our programs. We do/are doing significant training in peace education in support of PBA’s mission to develop students’ courage to nurture peace. Advancement Director Megan Lee and I rejoined the classroom this year to lead seminars in peace practice that build on the work of the other educators at the school.
