The Daily Bruin

Do you want to have a chance to win a $500 scholarship? Look no further than the donor-funded scholarship! If you complete your donor-funded scholarship application by Wednesday, Feb. 15 (the early bird deadline), you will automatically be entered in a drawing for an extra $500 scholarship. You can apply now here.

Scholarship amounts range from $500 to $15,000 for the 2023-24 academic year, and there are over 200 available for George Fox students.

Have any questions about the process or application? Contact Brennan Rains at brains@georgefox.edu.

Are you in the process of discerning your vocation? The Office for Spiritual Life and the School of Theology are partnering with the Beacon Hill Friends House Vocational Discernment Project to offer a workshop for students to help them discover their vocation.

The workshop will be grounded in Quaker practices of discernment but is open to all. We will meet from 2 to 5 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 3, in Hoover 211.

For more information, please contact Jay Miller at jaym@georgefox.edu.

1098-T tuition tax statements for 2022 are now available online. If you have not done so already, you will need to grant consent to access them in this way. Instructions for how to do this can be found here. The PDF can be downloaded and shared with whoever is handling your taxes.

We are unable to distribute these for you. If you do not grant consent for online expedited forms, your form will be printed and postmarked by the Tuesday, Jan. 31, deadline.

To clarify yesterday’s Daily Bruin announcement, these statements are available for all students, not just student employees.

If you have any questions, reach out to the student accounts office or Drew Peters at apeters@georgefox.edu.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is hosting Scholarship Summit on campus today (Friday)! Be sure to prepare for our guests!

With around 700 visitors expected, 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 between 7:45 to 8:30 a.m. and will fill all the main campus parking lots.
• Be mindful of guests in your housing area. We will have housing tours circulating through Edwards, Gulley, Pennington, HMS, and Newlin from 10 a.m. to 4 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 be going through the main server line and will be encouraged to dine in Canyon Commons 101 to 103. If you see a family looking for a spot to sit, invite them to join you!

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

Did you know that the Maker Hub has a bead roller?

The Maker Hub’s Mittler Brothers Bead Roller is located in the Machine Shop and is used for forming and reinforcing sheet metal. This machine works best when operated by two people, one person to turn the handle and another to guide the metal. It works by placing metal between the rollers (dies). The material is then formed to give extra strength and rigidity.

The bead roller can also be used to create artistic patterns on sheet metal. There are many different types of rollers to use, and they can be changed out depending on the needed application. Check out this video to see how it 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.

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