You can purchase tickets here or by calling the performing arts box office at 503-554-2670.

Doctor of physical therapy students are conducting a research study and are in need of volunteers who are older adults. The study concerns developing a fall prevention program through balance exercises that mitigate the risk of falling.
To participate in our study, you must:
To participate, you must not have a diagnosis of a neurological condition or a current illness or health issues that would make performing physical activities unsafe. Also, you may not be taking medications which cause excessive sleepiness.
Participants will come to the university’s Medical Sciences Building, where we would ask you to sign an informed consent form, answer questions, and perform a short mental status examination and a timed up-and-go test. Depending on your responses to the questionnaires and timed up-and-go performance, you may or may not be eligible for the study.
Those who are eligible will perform a physical performance test in a lab setting, consisting of the following activities: blood pressure and heart rate, walking test, balance tests, and a fear of falling questionnaire.
You are able to stop participation in the study at any time and for any reason. No information that would identify you will be made public, and we do not feel there is more than minimal risk associated with this study.
If you or anyone you know is interested in participating, we invite you to schedule an appointment for testing. Please call 503-554-2463 or email the study team at GFUDPT.Research@gmail.com.

Contact Jesse Cetz at jcetz@georgefox.edu with any questions.
Did you know that the Maker Hub has a Ring Roller? Our Baileigh Ring Roller is a machine used to roll metal into a ring by forcing the material through rollers, also called dies.
The rollers can be adjusted to change the formed radius. The maximum mild steel machine capacity is 1/4-inch x 1-inch flat bar or 1/2-inch round rod. The minimum diameter you can form is 2.75 inches. Check out this video to see how a Ring Roller works!
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.
Questions? Contact Anika Perry at perrya20@georgefox.edu.
