The Daily Bruin

The student life team is excited to host the Association for Christians in Student Development (ACSD) Annual Conference June 2-5. Some guests will begin arriving as early as May 28, with retreats and pre-conference workshops scheduled from May 30 to June 2.

We’re expecting more than 500 student life professionals from Christian colleges and universities across the U.S., Canada, and around the world. The conference also welcomes Christian professionals serving in student life roles at non-faith-based institutions.

As you encounter guests on campus during that week, we encourage you to extend a warm George Fox welcome. Many of these individuals have spent the past year pouring into others; this conference is a vital opportunity for them to be renewed, encouraged, and poured into themselves.

To view the conference schedule and details, please visit the event’s website. If you have questions, feel free to contact Sharia (Hays) Jones at shays@georgefox.edu or Mark Pothoff at mpothoff@georgefox.edu.

Portland Seminary invites you to join us as we celebrate the teaching and service of Dr. MaryKate Morse, professor emeritus of leadership and spiritual formation. We will be hosting a retirement reception for her this Friday, May 9, from 9 to 10 a.m. at 401 N. Meridian St., in Newberg.

Please swing by to wish MaryKate well!
