The Daily Bruin

We are recruiting former missionaries who have started a business after returning from the mission field as interviewees for a study on the role of entrepreneurship in re-entry adjustment.

The interviews will take place by Zoom (or in person, if local) in the month of May, and run about 20 to 30 minutes. We believe participants may also benefit from sharing their stories.

If you know someone who fits this description, please kindly connect them to Tim Veach, associate professor of management here at George Fox, at tveach@georgefox.edu.

The Office of the Provost would like to wish you a very Happy Birthday! If you have a birthday in April, we would like to celebrate you. Please stop by the academic affairs office tomorrow (Thursday) or Friday, April 21, between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. for a birthday treat!

We’re located on the second floor of Hoover, in Suite 230. Portland Center employees may pick up their birthday treat at the front desk. Allergen-free options are available.

Join the Jazz Ensemble and Swing Dance Club this Saturday, April 22, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Stevens Center’s atrium for live music and dancing!

Always wanted to learn how to dance? Well, now’s your chance! Swing dance is a partner dance with one person leading and the other person following. We make the basics easy to pick up, but there are plenty of extra moves to spice up the dance floor.

No prior experience is necessary; we’ll teach you everything you need to know. Dressing up is encouraged but not required.

This will be our largest club event of the semester, so be sure to invite your friends and colleagues. Come for live jazz and a wonderful time dancing. Employees and students are welcome!

Any questions? Reach out to the club’s co-president, Mark Berglin, at mberglin19@georgefox.edu.

Healthcare practitioners often encounter patients in moments of pain and suffering. These experiences call for various kinds of responses, ranging from biotechnological or pharmaceutical intervention to social advocacy, personal accompaniment, or spiritual care.

Participants will be Erika Barber (George Fox University), Brett McCarty (Duke University) and Patrick T. Smith (Duke University). The event will be moderated by Daniel Kang (George Fox University).

Campus Public Safety will be conducting its annual bicycle roundup starting Wednesday, May 3.

Here are the details:

• At the end of spring semester, a university-wide bicycle cleanup is conducted. Bikes that are illegally parked, unregistered or inoperable will be impounded. Bicycle racks need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the bike racks and surrounding areas.
• Bicycles may not be stored on campus during the summer semester. Claims for impounded bikes may be made at the CPS office.
• If you are staying on campus over the summer and plan to keep a bike here, please stop by Campus Public Safety to get a sticker ID. Move your bike to the rack that is closest to your summer housing.
• Impounded bicycles will be kept at CPS for 60 days and then donated to local charities at the discretion of the Campus Public Safety office. Junk bikes will be recycled.

Questions? Contact Karen Toohey at 503-554-2091 or campussafety@georgefox.edu.
