Part of our vision at the IDEA Center is to introduce students to industry clusters as an approach to career planning. We are excited to announce our upcoming Healthcare Panel event today (Thursday) from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in the Cap and Gown Room.

Students of all majors are invited to learn about the vast career opportunities in healthcare. The panel and subsequent networking time will focus on non-clinical career paths that typically don’t come to mind such as marketing, strategy, management and psychology.

Organizations represented include Legacy Health, Kaiser Permanente, Northwest Urological Clinic and Ardon Health. We encourage you to attend as an opportunity to learn about a fast-paced and rapidly growing industry. See you there!

From Oregon? File 2015-16 FAFSA now

Tuesday, January 27th, 2015

It is that time of year for all students to file their 2015-16 FAFSA, but for undergraduate students from Oregon, it is especially important that you file before the end of January. Each year funding for the Oregon Opportunity Grant runs short for students who would otherwise qualify. The Oregon office of Student Access and Completion (OSAC) oversees this program and must limit funding to early eligible FAFSA filers.

When you submit in January, it is not necessary to have your federal taxes filed. Simply estimate your 2014 income for you and (if dependent) your parents. Those that file in February will most likely not be considered for the grant which, for a full-time student, is $2,000.

Please don’t miss the potential help for your college costs! Click here to go to the FAFSA page.

Questions? Please email Terri Crawford at tcrawfor@georgefox.edu.

This week’s chapel events

Monday, January 26th, 2015

Join us for chapel with guest speaker Rebecca Hamm this today (Tuesday) at 10:50 a.m. in Bauman Auditorium.

A Claremont native, Rebecca Hamm received her B.A. from California Polytechnic University and her M.F.A. from the Claremont Graduate University.  In addition to producing and exhibiting her artwork throughout the region, she is the Program Director for the First Street Gallery Art Center in Claremont and is an adjunct Art Instructor at 3 local universities.
Rebecca’s work presents points where nature overcomes and reclaims –gradually or dramatically– human constructs. Rebecca creates energetic, abstracted visions that overflow with color and hidden life. At a distance, the stream emerges and the rock forms in a constant state of flux. The serenity of nature is simultaneously presented as mysterious and comforting; fascinating and awe striking; terrifying and instructive.
