The Daily Bruin

The Council for Christian Colleges and Universities is currently working to deepen their understanding of how students select off-campus study programs and what they are looking for in off-campus study program experiences.

We’d like to encourage you to be part of their process by taking this survey. It will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete, and your answers will remain anonymous. All students who complete the survey will be entered to win a $50 Amazon gift card. Please submit your responses no later than Wednesday, May 1.

Questions? Contact Linda Samek at lsamek@georgefox.edu.

If you work at the Portland Center and come frequently to the Newberg campus, please go to MyGFU and register for a staff parking permit to avoid being ticketed for non-registration when you come to Newberg.

Gather for a presentation by Sonny Ramaswamy, president of the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, this Thursday, April 18, from 2:30 to 4 p.m. in Canyon Commons 101-103.

As you may know, President Baker now serves the NWCCU as a commissioner. Our next full-scale accreditation visit will be spring 2021, and we will be working under a new set of standards. Ramaswamy’s presentation will likely address the standards and rule-making in Washington, D.C., that will impact our work.
