Bon Appétit invites George Fox faculty and staff’s elementary school-aged children in grades K-5 to join us this Thursday, Oct. 20, from 5 to 7 p.m. in Canyon Commons 101 for a special culinary workshop featuring activities on healthy eating and cooking.
During this fun and interactive program, the George Fox culinary team will demonstrate how whole fruits and vegetables can be transformed into a healthy meal. By learning about the connection between what they eat and their ability to do what they enjoy, children will go home with a newfound power to make better choices for their health.
You are welcome to accompany your child during the two-hour program, or you can leave him/her with our team and use the time for your own productivity. If you choose to leave, we encourage you to join us for our “Healthy Kids Picnic” during the final 20 minutes of the program. This workshop is free, but space is limited.
If you’re interested, please register here.
If you have questions about the event, contact Bon Appetit’s Healthy Kids Program Coordinator Nina Abramson at nina.abramson@cafebonappetit.

Midterm grades provide an accurate picture of your academic progress so far this semester. The last day to withdraw from a class without a graded responsibility for a class you may be struggling in is Sunday, Nov. 6.
This means that if you withdraw from a class, your transcript will show W. If you do not withdraw now and ultimately do not pass a course, your GPA will suffer.
If your professor has not yet given you a midterm grade, please contact them right away to find out where you stand in that course. Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here on the registrar office’s website.
Students who received a D or an F on their midterms should contact their CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the consequences of withdrawing from a class. If a student withdraws from a class, they should also contact their CAP coach to discuss their class schedule for future semesters. Follow this link to contact the CAP coaches.
Other resources for students are easily accessible on campus:
If you need help or have any questions, or need assistance, please contact studentlife@georgefox.edu.

When looking at the Maker Hub’s Monarch metal lathe, it may not be entirely clear as to what it actually does. A lathe is a machine that rotates a workpiece on an axis to perform various operations such as boring, sanding, knurling (creating angles or crossed lines on a workpiece), drilling, facing (removing material from the end of a workpiece), and turning.
This is accomplished by using a stationary tool that is applied to the work piece to remove material. The lathe creates an object that is symmetrical to the axis of rotation it was rotated about.
Students commonly use the metal lathe to create flywheels for their wobbler engines.
Watch this video to see how it works! Check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki page for more information.
The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.
Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
