Please donate mac and cheese to the Bruin Community Pantry

Sunday, February 26th, 2023

With only 25 boxes of macaroni and cheese left on the shelf, the Bruin Community Pantry is in desperate need of this popular food item. Many college students have not learned the fine art of cooking, and this food item is a staple for their food cupboard.

As you know, food supply chains are greatly interrupted, and this has affected the Oregon Food Bank’s ability to procure this item. Generic brands have the best price.

If you would prefer to purchase through Amazon, please use the Bruin Community Pantry wish list on Amazon, available here.

Please have these items delivered to the food bank in Roberts 109 during our hours of operation, which can be found here. Thank you so much for your help!

Please contact Jere Witherspoon if you have any questions at bruincommunitypantry@georgefox.edu.

Maker Hub’s ‘Tool-Tip Friday’: MIG Welder

Thursday, February 23rd, 2023

The Maker Hub’s Millermatic 210 is a wire feed metal inert gas (MIG) welder that is meant for light industrial use.

Metal inert gas is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable MIG wire electrode and the base metal. This then heats the base metal, causing them to melt and join. Along with the wire electrode, a shielding gas feeds through the welding gun which shields the process from contaminants in the air.

This technique is the easiest and most common type of welding, which makes it perfect for those learning to weld. This welder is capable of welding carbon steel as well as stainless steel. Check out this video to see how it works. Visit 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.

Important mid-term grade information for undergraduate students

Thursday, February 23rd, 2023

Midterm grades provide an accurate picture of a student’s academic progress so far this semester. The last day to withdraw from a class without a graded responsibility for a class a student may be struggling in is Sunday, March 19.

This means that if a student withdraws from a class, their transcript will show a “W.” If they do not withdraw now and ultimately do not pass a course, their GPA will suffer.  More information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.

Mid-term grade entry starts Saturday, Feb. 25, and ends after Wednesday, March 1.

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. They can follow this link to contact CAP coaches.

Other resources for students are easily accessible on campus:

If a student needs help or has any questions, or needs assistance, they should contact studentlife@georgefox.edu.

Students who fail all of their classes may have their financial aid package affected. If they have federal financial aid and are not passing any classes, they are to immediately contact their financial aid and/or student accounts advisor.

Hello all! My name is Gabriel Messing, and I’m a music industry major. I am premiering my senior capstone project at 7 p.m. tonight (Friday) in Hoover 105, and I invite you to come!

This project, a 25-minute stop-motion animation, is the product of nine months of filming, editing and scoring. That’s right, I composed a completely original score for this film.

I hope to see you there! And if you have any military friends/relatives, please invite them. Military will be receiving priority seating.
