The Daily Bruin

Join us for “Real Talk,” an event created for the George Fox community by students from the Act Six Cadre 16, tonight (Monday) from 6 to 7 p.m. in Canyon Commons 101.

Come learn about the upbringing and the obstacles that alumna Khadija Bruce went through. She is an elementary school teacher for Portland Public Schools and plans to climb the education ladder in order to restructure our educational system. Her goal is for quality education to be equitable for anyone.

Try to be specific as you describe how this person has contributed to your life. Students in Newberg can stop by the Academic Resource Center (ARC) to pick up a blank card.
