Are you a student interested in being a part of tough conversations revolving around race, faith, and diversity? Do you enjoy discussions about intercultural communication and relationships? If this is you, then consider applying to be a Cultural Ambassador through the Intercultural Life office.

This unique student leadership opportunity is open only for six to 10 students who are seeking to be culturally engaged and who have a desire to see change take place on their own campus. The skills acquired through this intensive training are recognized as being indispensable in the workplace (of all fields). In addition to training with your peers on a weekly basis, students involved in Cultural Ambassadors will be attending the SCORR (Student Congress of Racial Reconciliation Conference) in the month of February, held at Biola University.

This is an enriching opportunity for all students, so do you want to be known as a Cultural Ambassador?

Applications will be open from Oct. 31 through Nov. 11.

For more information about becoming a Cultural Ambassador, please email Grace Packer at gpacker15@georgefox.edu.

The time has come once again to begin the process of selecting our undergraduate “Who’s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities” nominees for the 2016-17 academic year.

For those of you who have contact with our undergraduate population, you have the opportunity to make nominations by selecting 20 students who you feel are worthy of recognition from the students who qualify for selection. These students are eligible for nomination and expect to graduate either midyear or spring (December 2016 or April 2017).

In addition, they all have a GPA of at least 3.50 and have turned in their application for degree. Other criteria for choosing a student include their demonstration of:

• Personal integrity
• Involvement in the George Fox community
• Service to the community at large

One-hundred-and-sixty-five students are eligible for nomination based on GPA alone. We will record your top-20 selections and determine the top-25 choices university-wide. We will then invite the top-25 students to respond. All students who respond will be awarded the “Who’s Who” honor.

Please note: There may be others who qualify to be on this list, but because they have not registered for commencement at the time of the selection process, they are not on this list.

To make your selection please select 20 students in the list on this survey. Please choose no more than 20 students.

Please contact Jere Witherspoon (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu) in the student life office if you have any questions. Please mark your selection of 20 students no later than Friday, Nov. 11, 2016.

The university community is invited to the 2016 Fall Faculty Lecture, “Exploring Intersections of Teachers’ Lives: Race, Religion & Identity,” featuring Yune Tran, PhD, associate professor of education and recipient of the 2015-16 Undergraduate Faculty Achievement Award for Research and Scholarship.

Join us this Tuesday, Oct. 18, for the presentation. The lecture runs from 6 to 7 p.m. in Hoover 105. Tran will discuss research that investigated the identities of preservice teachers based on Helm’s White racial identity development model. Employing a mixed-method design, findings include a sample of 33 preservice teachers with eight narratives that shed light on the role that race and religion play in teachers’ development when addressing attitudes and believes about cultural and linguistically diverse students.

Prior to the lecture that evening, the 2016 Fall Richter Student Scholars Symposium is scheduled from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Hoover lobby. Student scholars from George Fox graduate and undergraduate programs will present their research in a conversational poster format. Refreshments will be served in both the symposium and lecture.

Please be advised that due to Family Weekend festivities on Saturday, Oct. 15, we are asking that everyone (students and employees) clear out of the Bauman Auditorium parking lot before 10 p.m. tonight (Friday).

The parking lot will be closed to public parking from Friday night through all day on Saturday to make room for events like tailgating. Thank you for your cooperation.

Go Bruins!
