Graduating seniors, do you know about the Pay It Forward Program?
By opting to donate all or half of your remaining enrollment deposit, you can help other George Fox students. One-hundred percent of your gift will support a fellow student who is unable to continue their education or an alum who has a remaining amount due to the university.
Recipients are nominated by faculty and staff members, then vetted for eligibility, and allocations are made by the Pay It Forward Award Committee. As part of the program, awardees are asked to continue the generosity by “paying it forward†in the future.
Learn more about this amazing program during Exodus at the Student Accounts table, or contact Heidi Thomason at hthomaso@georgefox.edu for more information.

In his recent visit to England, President Robin Baker had an opportunity to visit Bunhill Fields, a cemetery in London that is the burial place for those who were considered “dissenters” in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Not far from Bunhill is the gravesite of George Fox, an unassuming grave that is representative of the Quakers’ belief that “all are valuable” and that “all are made one in death.” You can read his reflections on the trip in this blog post.
