How to register a vehicle for last five weeks of school

Sunday, March 31st, 2019

Students, if you haven’t had a vehicle registered before this academic year, but brought one back for the last five weeks, here is what you need to do to register it:

  1. Bring your DMV registration slip to the Campus Public Safety office, as permits aren’t available online
  2. Registration will happen in the office
  3. $25 will be charged to your student account upon registration
  4. Download the parking brochure from the CPS website so you know where to park for the permit you are issued

If you brought back a different car than what you’ve had registered, you will still need to bring the DMV registration slip to the CPS office to get a temporary permit for the remainder of the semester.

Please take care of this as soon as possible to avoid a parking ticket for non-registration! Contact Nadine Kincaid (nkincaid@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

We have positions in custodial (indoor cleaning), grounds (outdoor work), carpentry, and paint. The Plant Services office has a position that is open for the summer but would then extend into the school year (so it would require a commitment to both).

All invited to ‘Rethinking Azusa: If It Wasn’t for the Women’ lecture this Thursday

Sunday, March 31st, 2019

The William Penn Honors Program invites the public to a free lecture, “Rethinking Azusa: If It Wasn’t for the Women,” presented by professor and author Keri Day, this Thursday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Day, an associate professor of constructive theology and African American religion at Princeton Theological Seminary, will present a moving examination of the Azusa Street Revival of 1906 to 1915 and powerfully weave her talk into the contemporary concerns of today.

Day’s teaching and research interests are in womanist/feminist theologies, social critical theory, cultural studies, economics, and Afro-Pentecostalism. She is the author of Unfinished Business: Black Women, The Black Church, and the Struggle to Thrive in America (2012) and Religious Resistance to Neoliberalism: Womanist and Black Feminist Perspectives (2015).

She is at work on her third book manuscript, which explores how early Pentecostalism contributes to the religious and democratic imagination. In 2017, she was recognized by ABC News as one of six black women at the “center of gravity” in theological education in America.
