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.

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.

Whether you’re interested in digital storytelling, corporate communication, public affairs, nonprofit fundraising, journalism, public relations or any other area of communication, this panel will provide insights into the huge variety of career paths available to new grads in this field.

Tomorrow (Thursday) Oct. 20, at 10:20 a.m., the university will participate in The Great Oregon Shake Out, an exercise designed to test the school’s emergency notification systems as well as create dialogue among the George Fox community on how to be personally prepared should an earthquake occur.

Final Tip:
Preparing for disasters can be done over a period of time. Three days’ worth of supplies is a good start and helpful in the event of short-term power outages or temporary evacuation. But a large earthquake and tsunami will leave much of the area’s transportation routes destroyed, making assistance and delivery of supplies difficult to impossible.

Oregonians will have to count on each other in the community, in the workplace and at home in order to be safe until responders can reach them. It is recommended that families, neighborhoods and communities strive to be self-sufficient for two weeks.

After you Shake Out tomorrow, join us at https://www.facebook.com/2WeeksReady/ to learn more about getting your family, neighborhood, and community “Two-Weeks Ready.” The page will be rolling out new information each week.

Greetings from the George Fox theatre department! The first show of the season, Blithe Spirit, kicks off tomorrow night (Thursday)! Come join us for a lighthearted romp into the 1940s as we witness Charles Condomine face his ghosts.

Student tickets are free both Thursdays, Oct. 20 and 27. Bring your student ID to the door.

Synopsis: When Charles Condomine invites Madame Arcati to perform a séance as an evening entertainment for a dinner party he suddenly finds himself face-to-face with his deceased wife, Elvira … much to the chagrin of his current spouse, Ruth.
