The Daily Bruin

You’re invited to join us for an off-campus “Away with God” retreat during spring break on Friday, March 21, through Sunday, March 23.

These retreats are thoughtfully designed for a small group of 10 to 12 students. Participants can expect to enter into a slower pace to engage in various spiritual practices that refresh their mind, body and spirit. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to create connections with fellow students and staff, fostering a sense of community and support.

You must fill out this application to express interest in attending. You will receive a confirmation email to let you know you’ve been selected to attend, and then you will secure your spot with $20. The $20 covers food, lodging and transportation. The last day to sign up is this Friday, March 7.

If you have questions, reach out to Cyndi Murillo at cmurillo@georgefox.edu.

Doctor of physical therapy students are seeking individuals 18 to 45 years of age to figure out the effects of lower body strength on the ability to recover from a loss of balance and how people step when they lose their balance.

If you meet the study criteria, you will be asked to attend one testing session where you will be made to lose your balance multiple times in a safety harness while performing a squat task and have your ankle, knee and hip strength tested while sitting. Your participation in this study will involve approximately 60 minutes of time.

If interested, please contact Gabe Haberly, PhD, CSCS (ghaberly@georgefox.edu, 503-554-2941) or Lyndsay Stutzenberger, PT, DPT, PhD, CEEAA (lstutzenberger@georgefox.edu, 503-554-2463).

Are you currently enrolled in a graduate program (either master’s or doctoral level) and a parent or currently pregnant? If so, please consider participating in this research study examining the experience of parenting while in graduate school. Both male and female participants are needed.

A free meal and free temporary childcare will be provided for in-person participation in this research. Please follow this link to register for participation.

This study is being conducted as part of a PsyD dissertation with IRB approval. Please direct any questions or concerns to the principal investigator, Hailie Floch, at hfloch22@georgefox.edu.

Wednesday Run Club is moving from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. This change makes it easier to fit a run into your day without the early morning wake-up. Join us in the afternoon for a great run, good company and a strong finish to your day.

See you at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the Hadlock Student Center! Sign up here.

We are excited to announce George Fox’s proposed Math Community Club, an organization that will promote fellowship and community-building among those who enjoy mathematical play, exploration, discussion, etc. The club will host events like themed games, competitions, presentations and educational outreach.

Our goal is to foster a Christ-centered environment where students build meaningful relationships with one another while exploring the world of mathematics and data analytics. Through collaboration, creativity, and intellectual growth, we aim to inspire each other to think critically, act with integrity, and serve with passion as we grow together in both knowledge and community.

If you would like to acknowledge your support for this club, please fill out this one-minute form and leave a signature that will contribute to the student body support needed to make the Math Community Club a reality.

Thank you for helping our George Fox community grow. See you soon at one of our events!

Come thrift and sell at Hadlock’s flea market on Sunday, March 9! This is a great opportunity to buy second-hand items and sell your own cool finds and declutter your closet. A free-for-all pile will be available for donations, and credit will be given to use at vendor booths for each item you donate.

Use this link for information on being a vendor and selling your stuff at this event!

Dear Faculty: Join Jill Jamison and her brown-bag learning group at noon on Tuesday, March 11, in Hoover 150 as they reflect on their experiences with Cooperative Learning and offer faculty a chance to discuss small ways they could add more cooperative elements in the last month of the spring term.

Starting in the fall 2025 semester, GFD Cornerstone courses will be held in two eight-week sessions each semester. This means that if you sign up for a GFD Cornerstone course, it could start and end on one of the following dates:

• Session 1: Aug. 25 to Oct. 19, 2025
• Session 2: Oct. 20 to Dec. 12, 2025

Because these courses will be eight weeks instead of 16 weeks long, the pace will be more accelerated than an in-person Cornerstone course – so be ready to engage with the content and keep a close eye on the weekly deadlines.

Check out this short video for more info!

When registering for classes next year, be sure to pay attention to which session you sign up for and plan accordingly!
