Request from Marketing Communications: If you see a George Fox advertisement online, please do not click it. Each click on an ad costs the university money, in some cases as much as $15 per click.

In most cases, an online ad that is viewed – but not clicked on – does not cost the university any money. Help us be good stewards of our limited advertising dollars.

Thank you,

Is there someone at George Fox who has made a difference in your academic career? Someone who ignited a spark to make you want to learn or attend class or who has acted as a role model? Take a moment to write an e-mail, e-card, or traditional “thank you” card to that professor (or other person). Try to be specific as you describe how this person has contributed to your life.

Newberg students can stop by the student life office’s front desk (third floor of Stevens Center) or the Academic Resource Center (the ARC in the second floor of  library) to pick up a blank card. Of course, one can make or buy one’s own card.

Quintana’s presentation is titled “Leading forward by giving back.” Here is a synopsis:

In order to thrive in our changing world, leaders of today and tomorrow must be competent, adaptable, creative and experienced. Although many have faced layoffs, prolonged underemployment and rapidly changing work environments, some leaders continue to succeed more than others. Learn how to differentiate yourself from the crowd and discover your true potential through the art of giving. This presentation will discuss how to develop a successful career and enhance leadership skills through the practice of giving to and serving others.

Registration is now available. For more information, contact Sandi Gregory at sgregory@georgefox.edu.
