The Daily Bruin

Plan now to join us for this year’s Christmas concert, O Holy Night, scheduled Friday, Dec. 10, through Sunday, Dec. 12. We will host 7:30 p.m. concerts on Friday and Saturday and a 2:30 p.m. matinee Sunday.

Staff may have two complimentary tickets for any night. Students and employees also are invited to attend a formal dress rehearsal at 7:30 p.m. Thursday free of charge, for which there will be general seating (please be sure to use social distancing when possible).

Tickets for the Thursday concert are available from Kathy Harris in Ross 101 Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., until 700 seats are given away. Masks must be worn to each performance (no exceptions).

Tickets for the Friday through Sunday concerts are available online at this link. The system automatically puts a gray (social distance) seat between each selection, so select your spots and don’t space them out.

Poinsettias ($10) and Christmas trees ($20) will be for sale after the last concert on Sunday (cash and checks only).

Contact Kathy Harris (kharris@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

On Saturday, Nov. 20, and Saturday, Dec. 4, we will partner with the city of Newberg to serve our community through yard work to restore South Springbrook Road.

Did you know that the Maker Hub has two 3D scanners? The Maker Hub has two Artec 3D Scanners: Spider and Eva.

The Spider model uses blue light technology and is perfect for capturing intricate details of large industrial objects, or high-resolution images of small objects such as molding parts, PCBs, keys, and coins.

The second 3D scanner, the Eva model, uses light scanning technology and is ideal for a quick, textured and accurate 3D model of medium-sized objects such as an alloy wheel or a motorcycle exhaust system. It is the perfect scanner for objects of almost any kind, including objects with black and shiny surfaces.

Check out these videos on the Spider and Eva models to see how they work!

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.

Today (Friday) is Friday @ Fox, so please be mindful of our guests and avoid parking in the Stevens lot in order to provide them with plenty of spaces to park.

If you have questions, contact Lauren Hill (hilll@georgefox.edu) in the undergraduate admissions office.
