As part of our “thriving student initiative,” we are encouraging all employees to use FOX360 to alert the Student Support Network when a student may be in need of additional support.

If you or your department would like a presentation about this program, please schedule a 30-minute training session with Jere Witherspoon using this link.

Please join Linda Samek, Scot Headley and Debby Espinor on a research study on Artificial Intelligence (AI). This survey will be part of Dr. Espinor’s fall sabbatical work, and will be the basis for an article as we explore the connections between AI and spirituality and social and security concerns. Please use this link to participate.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises incredible advancements, but its integration into our lives raises numerous concerns regarding human-AI interactions. This survey is part of a research study at George Fox that considers faculty members’ thoughts and concerns in three areas: academic concerns; social, privacy, and security concerns surrounding AI; and spiritual, wisdom, and ethical concerns.

The survey IRB is 2233008. It will take less than 10 minutes to complete. It is an anonymous survey, and you are free to opt out at any time.

Please email  despinor@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.
