The Daily Bruin

We hope you and your family are staying healthy this fall. Flu season has started and can last through May, with peak flu activity happening from December to March. The timing of flu season is fairly predictable, but it can be difficult to know how severe a season will be. Getting a flu shot is the best way to protect yourself against the flu.

Find out here how to best prevent the flu this season.

Don’t forget that you and your family members (ages 18 and up) can get free flu shots and COVID-19 booster vaccinations on campus during the Health and Benefits fair tomorrow (Thursday) from noon to 4 p.m. in Canyon Commons while supplies last.

Protect yourself and others, and be well.

For our marketing class, we have created an app called Roam Anywhere, which is a GPS app that lets you know what activities are taking place around you when you drive.

Here is our survey. It would be greatly appreciated if we could have three minutes of your time to fill this out. By completing this survey, you will give us a better understanding of what people want in their GPS apps.

If you have any questions, contact Cassey Hitch at chitch21@georgefox.edu.

Maybe a birthday is coming up, or you’re already worried about what you’re going to get your loved ones for Christmas. No need to sweat – the Maker Hub has many machines and tools to cover your gift-making needs!

The Maker Hub’s Stahls Maxx Clam Heat Press is a machine used to transfer graphics onto items like T-shirts, bags and jerseys. 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, 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 use 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.
