Use your voice to help shape the future of George Fox. Take the 2022 Thriving Quotient Survey today. The deadline for submission is today (Friday).

This year, George Fox is participating in the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities’ Thriving Campus Initiative.

Please participate by completing the survey that corresponds with your academic status:

• Undergraduate Thriving Quotient Survey
• Graduate Thriving Quotient Survey
• Adult (Degree Completion) Thriving Quotient Survey

Earn a chance to win a $25 gift card when you submit your completed survey.

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served! Please enjoy a free small beverage in the Bridge Café today in honor of Veterans Day.

A basic handsaw isn’t going to help you much if you are looking to precisely cut acrylic or metal. However, the Maker Hub’s DoALL Vertical Bandsaw consists of a solid band of metal with edged teeth that rotates at a high speed, providing the power you need to cut through acrylic, metal and wood.

The vertical bandsaw can be used for precision cutting or function as a way to cut curved or unusual shapes. Check out this video to see how it works! For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki page.

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.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.

Join the IPC Institute (Florence Gerber, MBA & Bhavesh Rajani, MD, MBA) for a CME focused on learning lean quality improvement methods that all healthcare workers can use. Be the first in your community to acquire these skills.

You can also email Tammy O’Doherty at todohert@georgefox.edu with any questions you may have.

Tomorrow marks another Friday @ Fox visit day. Because of Veterans Day, we expect around 100 guests on campus.

Prospective students will participate in a campus tour, visit classes, eat lunch on campus, and tour academic departments of interest. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is asking students and employees to help make visitors feel the Be Known promise during their time on campus tomorrow.

A few things to note:

• Plan to park in areas outside of the Stevens lot if possible to ensure enough spaces for visitors.
• There will be tours rotating through campus and residence areas at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 1 p.m., and 2 p.m.
• Consider offering a helping hand if visitors need directions or have questions about George Fox.

Thank you!

Do you have a shoebox you want to get rid of? Supplies, toys or hygiene products that you want to give to a child in need? Our Management 300 group is partnering with Operation Christmas Child to bless children across the globe.

Samaritan’s Purse collects shoebox gifts filled with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items for children around the world. Since 1993, more than 198 million children in more than 170 countries and territories have received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox.

The project delivers not only the joy of what, for many kids, is their first gift ever, but also gives them a tangible expression of God’s love.

Our group is looking for the following:

• Empty shoeboxes
• Hygiene products
• Small toys
• Travel-sized supplies
• School supplies, etc.

We are also looking for volunteers to help pack these shoe boxes! If you would rather give your time instead of supplies, we would love for you to join us in packing these shoeboxes on Friday, Dec. 2.

Please fill out this form if you would like to donate or volunteer!

Thank You!
