This is your last chance to join a Wilderness First Aid course happening the weekend of March 4-5 at the Hadlock Student Center on the Newberg campus! There are four spots remaining, so we recommend registering as soon as possible if you are interested.
The course is an excellent learning and practice opportunity for anyone that enjoys spending time outside or for those that work in an outdoor setting regularly.
Here is what a previous participant had to say about their involvement in the course:
“The WFA course allowed me to enter into my passions for outdoor recreation with confidence. The hands-on learning environment propelled me into a space where I became more equipped to introduce folks to the outdoors in a safe and welcoming environment. Thanks to this course, I have had opportunities to lead folks safely into the backcountry for the first time, which has been such a joy!”
For more information and to register, go here.
If you have any questions, please reach out to the director of campus recreation, AJ Heil, at aheil@georgefox.edu.

Doctor of physical therapy students are seeking participants for a research study we’re conducting, titled “The effect of perturbation-based balance training dosage on falls, fear of falls, and reactive stepping in community-dwelling older adults.” We are interested in balance recovery training to prevent falls and reduce the fear of falling.
To participate in our study, you must:
To participate, you must not have a diagnosis of a neurological condition or a current illness or health issue that would make performing study activities unsafe. Also, you may not be taking medications which cause excessive sleepiness.
If you’re interested in participating and meet the above criteria, please come to the George Fox’s Medical Sciences Building on Werth Boulevard, where we will ask you to sign an informed consent form, answer questions on a questionnaire, and perform a short mental status examination. Depending on your responses to the questions, you may or may not be eligible.
If you are eligible, you’ll be asked to participate in two to three testing sessions that last approximately one hour each. During testing sessions you will have your vital signs measured (blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen levels), fill out a fear of falling questionnaire, and be made to lose your balance multiple times while in a safety harness. Research team members will contact you monthly to track any falls.
You will not be paid for being or reimbursed for any costs associated with traveling to/from the George Fox campus. You are able to stop participation at any time and for any reason. No information that would identify you will be made public, and we do not feel there is more than minimal risk associated with this study.
If interested in participating, call or email us to schedule an appointment for testing. Please call 503-554-2463 or email Lyndsay Stutzenberger at lstutzenberger@georgefox.edu.
