The presentation will be from 10:40 to 11:30 a.m. in EHS 102 on the Newberg campus. Murray is currently the MBA director and associate professor of leadership and international management at Trinity Western University in British Columbia, Canada.

Do you love helping others uncover their potential? Do you like showing others ways to be a more effective and efficient student? Do your friends always come to you to look over their papers before they turn them in? Do you have a GPA above 3.0? If you answered yes to these questions, you might have a future as a consultant in the Academic Resource Center (ARC).

Application material for the 2014-15 academic year is available at this link. Completed materials are due by today (Friday), March 7. Contact Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu, 503-554-2314) if you have questions.

All are invited to join us for a session, “Women Serving AND Leading: The Role of Presence and Power in Servant Leadership,” from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 11, in EHS 102 on the Newberg campus. Our own MaryKate Morse from the seminary will be presenting.

Women and men in institutional environments can default to traditional roles of men primarily leading and women primarily serving. Jesus led and served, and he invited women and men to do the same.

This presentation by MaryKate explores the unique challenges women face as servant-leaders and suggests ways men and women might support each other on the journey. We hope you can join us! Refreshments will be served. The event is sponsored by the Leadership Development Initiative.

Questions? Email Sarah Baldwin at sbaldwin@georgefox.edu.

Support Love INC., the Newberg community and our George Fox business capstone project – all while getting the chance to win great prizes!

R. R.A.C.E. is a spring running event through Newberg that will benefit the community and bring it together through interaction with local businesses. R. R.A.C.E. is a unique endeavor that is a fun experience/event where participants can explore Newberg and potentially win prizes. The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 5, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The Event: The run will begin at Jaquith Park, where runners will be shown a map of participating businesses throughout Newberg.

We will then raffle off prizes, so the more tickets the better your chances of winning!

For more information or to buy tickets visit our website at this link. You can also “Like” us on Facebook.

At this point in the semester you should have around 7 chapel credits. To check on the status of your chapel credits, please check your MyGFU (under “students resources” and then “chapel”; you will see a list of all events with a check next to every event attended. Your requirement and amount of credits still needed is at the bottom of this page).

There are 14 more events for credit this semester, and as a reminder you may earn up to 5 of your total credits from chapel electives. We are always adding electives to our list. If you have podcast permission granted through a chapel waiver form, remember you can watch podcasts for credit.

Questions:

What’s the policy?
All undergraduate students who have fewer than 93 accumulative credits and are not 23 by the beginning of the 2014 spring semester must earn 15 chapel credits by Friday, April 25. An overview of our deficiency policy and explanation of where to find the podcast and the chapel credit form are found on your MyGFU account.

I went to chapel but my credit isn’t showing up?
If you went to a chapel event but your credit isn’t showing up you may send us a summary of the chapel at spiritaullife@georgefox.edu with you ID number.

Why do I need to go to chapel, I’m a senior?
If you are a senior, in order for the system to recognize you as a senior you must have 93 accumulative credits. You must not actually have 93 credits prior to this semester. Good news! If you are a fourth-year student we just need you to request that the registrar’s office sign a waiver form clarifying this is indeed your fourth year. Here is the waiver form.

If you have any questions, please email our staff at spirituallife@georgefox.edu or stop by our office at the corner of Sheridan and Meridian.

Enjoy this beautiful day!

Are you cold and wet because you can’t remember where your hoody, raincoat or umbrella wandered off to? Did you reach for a drink of water after that workout only to realize your water bottle is AWOL?

If this describes you, your missing items might have been turned in to the lost and found located in the security office. Please come by during office hours or call 503-554-2090 to see if your lost items have been turned in. If they have not been turned in, we will collect the info about your missing items and add them to our list.

Better yet, write your name on your water bottles, jacket tags, etc. so we can notify you when your lost items are turned in.
