The Daily Bruin

At our Learning Disability Support Group meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) we will be discussing autism and the intersectionality of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Join us at 3 p.m. in Stevens 209. We welcome students who would like to attend and participate in this discussion. If you’re unable to attend, we also have this Zoom link.

Candy will be available for anyone who drops in! We hope to see you all there! Contact Alyssa Overcash at aovercash16@georgefox.edu with any questions.

Did you receive our “Be Known, Be Done, May 1” email, but need help completing the items listed (FAFSA, MyGeorgeFox To-Do List, Accepting/Declining your financial aid, etc.)? Then our Financial Aid “Help Me Hangout” is for you! Join us in the Murdock Library (Room 112) today (Wednesday) between 1:30 and 4:30 p.m.

One of the major steps to ensuring you are ready for the fall of 2022 is making sure that all your financial aid is finalized and ready to go. Everyone’s financial aid process looks a little different, so we want to provide you with the steps specific to you. Each week we will be sending out a reminder email to let you know the steps you need to take to “be done” by May 1.

If you have any other financial aid questions, feel free to stop by. And don’t forget to come grab a free sticker!

Questions? Contact the financial aid office at finaid@georgefox.edu.

We are still in need of several volunteers to serve as ushers at spring commencement on Saturday, April 30. Commencement is divided into three separate ceremonies by Enterprise this year, and the schedule is as follows:

• 4 p.m.: Industrial Enterprise Ceremony

This new format will allow for a more personalized and celebratory atmosphere for our graduates and their families, but in order to host three ceremonies we need everyone’s help. Your enthusiasm and support are key to making this important day memorable for our graduates and their guests, and we could not do it without you!

Staff members, please sign up for a time to serve in one of the enterprise ceremonies. A $50 stipend or three hours of time off (with supervisor approval) is available for those employees not already scheduled to work. Non-employees who volunteer will receive a $50 gift card.

Thank you in advance, from the Commencement Planning Committee! Contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu with any questions.
