We’re excited to announce that, in May of 2025, students and faculty from our Doctor of Physical Therapy program will be heading to Uganda for a medical service trip! Our well-established partnerships with local leaders in Uganda seek to meet the physical and educational needs that exist in these communities.
We will work alongside doctors, teachers and community leaders who have been our friends and partners for over 10 years. As we prepare to return, we need your help! This trip is being funded by donations and fundraisers, with our next one being through Burgerville on Tuesday, April 15.
Visit the Burgerville in Newberg that day and mention George Fox. You can also order ahead on the app and use the promo code GEORGEFOX.
In previous trips, we have seen kids and adults receive healthcare for the first time in their lives, after walking hours through rural Uganda to our large medical clinics. We have seen teenagers with cerebral palsy walk for the first time and even start playing soccer with friends.
We have helped Ugandans with amputations return to the professional world in previously lost careers. We have even saved the lives of kids with hydrocephalus, and helped adults with progressive cancers by identifying their condition and ensuring they get the medical care they need.
Thank you for your support! Contact Amanda Brandes at abrandes23@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

George Fox University welcomes Pat Gelsinger, former CEO of Intel Corporation, to campus for an engaging and timely lecture: “Big Tech & Big Responsibility: Faith, Work, and Preparing the Next Generation – How Industry Leaders Can Foster Ethical Innovation.”
The lecture will be tonight (Tuesday) at 7 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium. Chapel credit will be given to students who attend. You can claim seats and by visiting this link.
This lecture is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the most influential minds in technology and leadership. Gelsinger will explore the ethical responsibilities of tech leaders in an AI-driven world, the intersection of faith and work, and how we can equip the next generation to lead with integrity in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Gelsinger dedicated 30 years to Intel before stepping away to become CEO of VMware, where he led the company’s transformation into a global powerhouse in cloud infrastructure, enterprise mobility, and cybersecurity – nearly tripling its annual revenue.
In 2019, his visionary leadership and dedication to a positive workplace culture earned him the title of America’s top CEO in Glassdoor’s annual employee survey. In 2021, he returned to Intel as CEO, taking the helm to guide the company into its next era of innovation and growth.
If you’re wondering how to thrive in turbulent times like these and build bridges across political divides, you should come hear longtime George Fox faculty members Mark and Lisa McMinn talk about their latest book, An Invitation to Slow.
Starting at 6:30 p.m. in EHS 102 this Thursday, April 10, the McMinns will talk with George Fox Civility Project Director Ron Mock about their book. They will focus especially on their chapters about empathy, humility and gratitude, which have important implications for navigating these difficult times and communicating with robust civility. There will be time for questions and comments from those attending the event.
Reach out to Ron at rmock@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.
