The Daily Bruin

The Students for Life Club is excited to host guest speaker Liberty Pike, who works for Oregon Right to Life, on Wednesday, Nov. 8. She will be addressing the issue of abortion and the depth and importance of the pro-life cause from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in Hoover 103.

Liberty will also be talking about how to love those who have been affected by abortion and what our actions should be to balance grace and truth together. All are welcome to the event, and we hope to bring a light to a topic that is so easily pushed into the darkness and never talked about.

Contact Hannah Thom (hthom16@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Catalyst Alternative High School in Newberg is looking for math tutors.

These students are some of the brightest out there, but due to past complications in school and/or home life, many of them have given up. The extra encouragement and guidance from you would be crucial to them understanding the material. The math levels are high school algebra 1 & 2, geometry, and statistics.

Follow this link for qualifications and responsibilities. Interested or have questions? Email Noelle at nho14@georgefox.edu.

Sunday, Nov. 5 is the last day to withdraw from a class without a grade responsibility. This means that if you withdraw, you will receive a “W” on your transcript. If you are failing a class and don’t withdraw, your GPA will be affected in a negative way. Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.

Students with a D or an F on their midterms should make an appointment with their CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the ramifications of withdrawing from a class. Students withdrawing from a class should contact their CAP coach as well to discuss their class schedule for future semesters. CAP coaches can be reached by clicking this link.

The theme for this year’s Fall Retreat is “Filled to the Measure,” inspired by Ephesians 3:19, where Paul says, “and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” We’ll spend the weekend learning from one another various ways to encounter the character of God and engage in spiritual growth. Many of your peers will be leading these sessions and are so excited to share with you.

We are so excited to be featuring artist Hannah Glaver as our guest musician to lead us in worship this weekend. Hannah is the worship pastor at Imago Dei Church and has recorded with music artist Liz Vice.

Fall Retreat is Nov. 10-12. What better time to escape from your ordinary, busy life and spend some time at Twin Rocks on the beautiful Oregon Coast with your friends? Registration is a non-refundable fee of $30.

Sign-ups will be in various locations around campus over the next two weeks. Look for us in the Bruin Den, Canyon Commons and after Chapel/Vespers. You can also register (paying by card) by visiting this link.

Hello Commuters!

Our commuter team is putting together some cool stuff based off your feedback to the Commuter Life Needs Assessment survey we sent out!

Below is a list of available times that the commuter reps will be in the FoxHole to meet with whoever is wanting to join them. This is an intentional space for the reps to get to know and connect with you, as well as space for commuters to get connected with each other on a consistent basis. If you are interested in joining one of these groups, feel free to go to the FoxHole at a time below that you are available!

Here is when the groups are taking place:

• Brianna: Monday at 4 p.m.
• Jay: Tuesdays at 2 p.m.
• Ashlee: Tuesday at 3 p.m.
• Whitne: Thursday at 11 a.m.
• Bailey: Wednesday at 3 p.m.
• Ben: Friday at 4 p.m.

Whatever happens in the hour is up to your groups! We hope that this can be a time for you to build community with one another. We hope to see you there!

Email Brianna Martin-Ortega (bmartinortega16@georgefox.edu) if you have questions or need contact info for any of the groups.
