The advancement office is seeking qualified candidates to apply for the position of grants and contract management assistant. The person hired will help advance key documents that fund and implement George Fox projects and programs.

In this role, you’ll work on a team of students and staff under the direction of the director of development of institutional relations for the purpose of developing effective grant and contract practices and systems to benefit current and future students and staff.

The assistant will be trained and equipped and become familiar and exposed to areas of document management, project management, personal skills development, and report generation.

The position requires integrity, teachability, responsiveness, proficiency, and an active faith engagement. The advancement office is committed to a culture of civility, respect and inclusivity.

Join Courtney Anderegg, assistant professor of communication, and Disability & Accessibility Services for a faculty conversation on course preparation from 3 to 4 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 26, via this Zoom link.

In this workshop, we will focus on course preparation with a focus on universal design and anticipating student accommodations. If instructors work with this student-centered approach to course preparation, accommodation requests will seem less burdensome and the Be Known promise will be enacted even before a student steps into the classroom.

Following the presentation we will host a time for questions and faculty discussion. Questions? Contact Andrea Byerley at abyerley@georgefox.edu.

Please remember that face coverings are required in all buildings on campus. The COVID Operations Team receives daily reports of face-covering non-compliance in the Bruin Den in Klages.

We have recently posted signs reminding our community of this requirement. Please remember to pay attention to seating requirements in the booths. Unfortunately, if we continue to have reports of non-compliance in the Bruin Den, we may be required to close this space.

Thank you for helping to keep our campus safe and open for use.

Policies regarding COVID compliance can be found on this website. If you have any questions, please contact Jere Witherspoon (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu) in the student life office.

Looking for a major that will help you help others? Consider social work!

The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program is hosting an informational gathering today (Monday) from 5 to 6 p.m. via Zoom. Please join us!

What is social work?

Social work is a profession focused on supporting all people through life’s challenges to ensure individual well-being and strong communities.

As a social work major, students engage in course content and internship experiences that address the core values of service, dignity and worth, the importance of relationships, integrity, competence, and social justice. Click here for more information about our program. 

Are there jobs in social work?

Social work is one of the fastest-growing professions in the United States, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). There are currently about 700,000 professional social workers in our nation, but that number is expected to rise to more than 800,000 by 2029.

What do social workers do?

Social workers are found throughout society providing services to individuals, groups, and communities. They work in schools, foster care programs, senior centers, healthcare settings, mental health and substance use disorder treatment centers, and in a variety of public and private organizations.

Social workers also engage in advocacy and social reform through work in the criminal justice system, securing voting rights, and supporting veterans and their families, as well as many other activities. For more information about social work, please click here.
