Comings and Goings
The university welcomes the return of Kayin Griffith, an alumna and former employee in the spiritual life office, to serve as the director of housing in the student life office. After graduating from George Fox in 2008, she joined the university as the assistant director of spiritual life – a position she held until early 2014. She spent the past year working as the director of advocacy and development at the international headquarters for Word Made Flesh, a nonprofit missional community based in Portland. She also co-owns Griffae Design, a graphics and web design firm, with her husband Cary, a web designer in George Fox’s marketing communications office. She and Cary live in Newberg with their daughter Anaya Rae.
Alexandra Rhizor joined the university in January as a custodian for the plant services department. This marks a return to George Fox for Alexandra, as she graduated from the university with a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies in 2012. Toward the end of her college years she worked for security services (2011-12). She lives in Beaverton, but she and her husband Alexander plan to move to Newberg. They attend Colossae Church in Tigard.
