Apartheid in South Africa officially ended 30 years ago, leaving the country with questions about how to replace violence and stark injustice with a functioning democracy, inclusive of all the nation’s citizens.

South Africans turned to a new idea, utilizing truth and reconciliation commissions to expose the reality of apartheid while offering amnesty from prosecution or retaliation to those who told the truth about what they did. This approach was celebrated as a new and better way to deal with injustice and the stark social, political, and economic polarization it created.

Has it worked as hoped? Former George Fox professor Gina Johnson will help us answer that question. Come to Hoover 105 this Monday, March 18, at 6:30 p.m. to hear her presentation. The event will be video recorded.

Questions? Please reach out to Ron Mock at rmock@georgefox.edu.

We are looking for several volunteers to serve as ushers at the spring undergraduate commencement ceremony on Saturday, April 27. There will be two separate ceremonies again this year.

The schedule is as follows:

• 11 a.m.: Cultural & Wellness Enterprises and Adult Degree Program Ceremony
• 3 p.m.: Industrial Enterprise Ceremony

This format allows a more personalized and celebratory atmosphere for our graduates and their families, and like last year, we are calling for “all-community” participation. What a thrill it is to see graduates, their families, and friends come together to celebrate!

Volunteers are vital to the smooth execution of the day’s events and to help make the day memorable for our graduates and their guests. This day could not happen without you!

Staff members, please sign up for a time to serve in one of the two 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 for your willingness to serve! Questions? Contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.
