In need of an awesome gift idea or new art project? Well, the Maker Hub has got you covered!

Our Stahls Maxx Clam Heat Press is a machine used to transfer graphics onto items like T-shirts, bags, jerseys and more. Materials that can be transferred include heat transfer vinyl (HTV), screen printed transfers, rhinestones and more.

Within the Hub, the heat press works in conjunction with the vinyl printer/cutter as well as the dye sublimation printer. Check out this video to see how it works! For more information on how you can make a custom shirt and more, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki page.

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.

Our interprofessional team is delighted to invite the George Fox community to a virtual presentation: “Get Cultured! Decolonizing and Decentering Whiteness in the Healthcare Workforce.” It is 100% designed, developed and delivered by healthcare professionals who identify with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.

This event, scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on March 11-12, is for everyone, and if you identify as white, this is a special opportunity to listen and learn. We will learn about ways to decolonize and decenter whiteness in our workforce, dynamic sizing, and other methods to improve our clinical care.

Additionally, this CME will focus on two important clinical topics: persistent pain and chronic disease.

This is a soulful opportunity to hear and deeply reflect on the voices and lived experiences of our BIPOC-identifying colleagues. For more information and to register, go here. It is free to George Fox employees and students.

This week we wrap up the topic of decluttering and provide you with some great additional reading resources. We hope you feel inspired to clear up some space for new things in your life.

“When you declutter – whether it’s on your home, your head, or your heart – it is astounding what will flow into that space that will enrich you, your life, and your family.” – Peter Walsh

We are looking to conceptualize a new course/experience that will serve as an onramp for a vertically integrated projects program. A vertically integrated program at Fox would be similar to our honors program in having its own course package, and would have students on teams comprised of different majors/years.

These students would be researching/designing in pursuit of solving some “wicked problem” over their time at Fox. “Wicked problems” can be generalized to large problems with no single stakeholder and no single solution.

In this survey we are seeking input regarding what potential learning objectives would be necessary for the program at large, as well as what is important to consider in the structuring of an onboarding/introductory experience.

Thanks for your participation! Contact Luke Roderick at lroderick20@georgefox.edu for more information.
