Come hear MLK scholar Scott Finnie speak tonight in Hoover 105

Monday, March 14th, 2022

How does Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s hopeful, reconciling and redemptive leadership – as exhibited in his acclaimed Letter from Birmingham Jail, written in 1963 – reverberate today?

Finnie’s visit is the keynote address of the 2022 John Woolman Peacemaking Forum. The presentation will focus on how King’s leadership changed the Civil Rights Movement and how his peacemaking principles still apply to our world today.

Preceding the talk will be a Steinfeldt Peace Scholars Symposium from 6 to 6:30 p.m. in the Hoover lobby, where current upperclass students committed to peace studies will exhibit their projects.

The event is being sponsored by George Fox’s Center for Peace and Justice, which is also providing refreshments.

Remind students of Sunday’s class withdrawal deadline

Monday, March 14th, 2022

Please be aware that the last day for students to withdraw from a class with a “W” grade is this Sunday, March 20. Withdrawal from a class records a “W” grade on their transcript and does not impact GPA, but it does reduce the number of completed courses this semester, which may affect future semester planning.

Faculty: Please be sure to encourage students to review their mid-semester grades before this deadline.

Thank you!

Survey: Native American/Indigenous Resilience

Sunday, March 13th, 2022

We are conducting a PsyD dissertation research project, “Resilience and Cultural Connectiveness within the Native American/Indigenous Population,” and would appreciate your feedback. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete our survey.

We are looking for participants with any Native American/American Indian Indigenous heritage. The purpose of this research is to show how resilience/strength, cultural identity, spiritual identity, and cultural connectiveness are reflected within the Indigenous population.

At the end of the survey is the option to enter a raffle (rewards include three $100 Visa gift cards) as a thank you. We have received IRB approval through George Fox, and as a tribal partnership project we place an emphasis on participant safety and a culturally humble approach to Indigenous research.

Thank you for considering participation in our research. If you have any questions, concerns or feedback, please feel free to contact Winston Seegobin at wseegobin@georgefox.edu or Lindsay Price at lprice18@georgefox.edu.
