If you have not yet inputted your textbook adoptions for the summer 2021 term, please do so by today (Wednesday).
Thank you for your continued cooperation with the adoption process. You all have done amazing work these last few terms getting your textbook adoptions in ahead of time, and it has positively increased our ability to serve our students first. The Bruin Store team sincerely appreciates your hard work!
Today (Wednesday) through Friday, April 2, come by the Bruin Store for two killer deals! We have brand new tees under $10, and all items from the Closet Project are two-for-$1.
The Closet Project is an initiative launched by the Bruin Store team to bring affordable professional attire to students. All of our inventory has been donated by other students, faculty, staff, parents and community members, all of who want to help you be adequately prepared for upcoming interviews and internships.
Every single item is sold for $1 (except for our two-for-$1 sale this week), and every single dollar goes directly to the Bruin Community Pantry to combat food insecurity. Purchasing from the Closet Project is a great way to build your professional wardrobe and give back at the same time.
At this time, all purchases from the Closet Project are cash only.

We are interested in the use of telehealth as a way to screen for frailty in community-dwelling older adults using the modified Physical Performance Test. The study will be taking place Monday, April 5, at 3:30 p.m. in the Roberts Center.
In order to qualify for this study, you must:
Be 60-90 years old
Live independently or in an assisted living facility
Be able to walk without the help of another person
Pass a mental status exam
In order to qualify for this study, you must not:
Have been diagnosed with a neurological condition
Have a current illness or health issues that would make performing physical activities unsafe
If you qualify for this study, you may be asked to come to campus, where you will be asked to perform a physical performance test both in a lab setting and a telehealth setting.
Cameras will record the movement of markers that will be placed on your body, and force plates in the ground will record your foot contact during the sit-to-stand activity in the lab. Your performance during the telehealth activities will be recorded.
The testing session will last approximately one hour. If interested, please contact research staff member Lyndsay Stutzenberger (lstutzenberger@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2463).
Did you know that loneliness is linked to an increased risk of chronic disease? Harvard researchers found that loneliness and/or social isolation were associated with a 29% increased risk of heart attack and 32% greater risk of stroke. This risk level is similar to that of light smoking or obesity, according to the researchers.
During this time of social distancing, it is important to find safe ways to stay connected and maintain our social support networks. So take care of yourself by picking up the phone and calling a family member or going for a walk with a friend!
