The Daily Bruin

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is hosting Scholarship Summit on campus today (Friday). With 600-plus visitors expected on campus, we are asking George Fox students and employees to help extend the Be Known promise throughout the day.

Here’s what you can keep in mind:

• Use street parking instead of campus parking lots. Guests will be arriving on campus Friday morning between 8 and 8:30 a.m. and will fill all the main campus parking lots.
• Be mindful of guests in your living area. There will be housing tours circulating through Edwards, Gulley, Pennington, and HMS from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tour groups will be viewing dorm lobbies and a room on the first floor of each dorm.
• Plan for a busier than usual Canyon Commons. Guests will use the main server line and will be encouraged to dine in CCD 101-103. If you see a family looking for a spot to sit, invite them to join you!

If you have any questions, email visit@georgefox.edu or call Lauren Hill at 503-554-2245.

Housing/Apartments and George Fox students: Volunteer to chop and stack wood for veterans, the elderly and disabled persons tomorrow (Saturday) at the Friends Community Cemetery.

We’ll meet from 9 to 11 a.m. in the back of the cemetery (white barn). If you have any questions, email Aric Bergers at abergers18@georgefox.edu.

It’s time to file your FAFSA … again! Did you know that you have to complete the FAFSA every year to be considered for federal and state aid? Our office is busy preparing your financial aid for next year, and we want to make sure your aid package is as complete as possible!

To put yourself in the best position for next year, be sure to go to fafsa.gov and get your 2022-23 FAFSA submitted this weekend. A reminder: The 2022-23 FAFSA looks at your 2020 tax information, which means you don’t need to wait for this year’s documents!

Have questions? Please reach out to our financial aid office. You can contact us, schedule an appointment, or schedule a FAFSA help session. We’re here to help!

Please join us to learn from past and current first-generation students about their journey navigating graduate school. They will discuss their graduate school experiences, how to prepare, and questions to consider. This event is open to all students, employees and alumni!

Here’s a list of our wonderful panelists:

• Mitzi Martinez, MS, leadership development coordinator and analyst

Did you know that the Maker Hub has a Ring Roller? Our Baileigh Ring Roller is a machine used to roll metal into a ring by forcing the material through rollers, also called dies.

The rollers can be adjusted to change the formed radius. The maximum mild steel machine capacity is 1/4-inch x 1-inch flat bar or 1/2-inch round rod. The minimum diameter you can form is 2.75 inches. Check out this video to see how a Ring Roller works!

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Questions? Contact Anika Perry at perrya20@georgefox.edu.

This workshop will be free of charge. To join, sign up through IMLeagues.

I am a graduate student in the George Fox PsyD program, and I’m currently working on collecting data for my dissertation. I am studying mental health literacy (what people know about mental health conditions, resources, and treatments) among college/university educators.

I would be deeply appreciative if you could take the time to participate in my survey. It is estimated to take approximately 20 to 30 minutes. At the end, there is an option for you to enter your email into a raffle to win one of four $25 Amazon gift cards.
