Comings and Goings
Tyler Amy joined the university last week as an administrative assistant II for the Center for Peace and Justice and the Center for Global Studies. Tyler comes to George Fox from the Great Lakes region of northwestern Pennsylvania, where he worked the past year and a half as the national coordinator for Renewal: Students Caring for Creation, a student-driven creation care network that serves Christian colleges and universities throughout North America. He will continue serving in that role by bringing the nationally recognized creation care organization to Newberg, finding ways for Renewal to collaborate with the ongoing work of the Center for Peace and Justice and the Center for Global Studies in service of the entire university. Tyler has also served in multiple roles for the Creation Care Study Program – a semester-off-campus partner program of the Center for Global Studies – including living in New Zealand while working as a student life coordinator. He earned a bachelor’s degree in communications (public relations) from Waynesburg University in 2010. He lives in Newberg with his wife, Mary Beth.
