Hello Fellow Employees!

We are excited to be hosting our annual high school youth theology Institute, Theologia, on the Newberg campus again! The camp will be July 11–15, and we are inviting your rising high school juniors and seniors to join us.

Theologia has been a favorite experience working with George Fox, as it provides a rich experience for students to explore theology in fun ways while giving them a taste of what college will be like.

Applications are now open to accommodate up to 25 high school scholars. Learn more and apply on the Theologia website.

The state of Oregon is lifting its indoor mask mandate at midnight on Friday, March 11, and George Fox is following the state’s decision.

Starting Saturday, March 12, masks will no longer be required indoors with the exception of medical facilities (e.g., Health and Counseling Center, physical therapy clinic, etc.). Some medical education programs may still need to require masks due to their training requirements.

After March 12, individuals are welcome to continue wearing face coverings. We ask that community members respect the choices of their colleagues and peers.

The Cultural Enterprise invites the entire campus community to a Forum on Faith and Sexuality on Monday and Tuesday, March 14-15, in Canyon Commons.

The two-day event features three widely acclaimed authors: Wesley Hill, Eve Tushnet and Nancy Pearcey. Our hope is to provide stimulus for thoughtful dialogue with pressing questions of human sexuality and Christian faith through the testimony and ideas of these presenters.

There will be three keynotes as well as a panel, all with opportunities for engagement from the audience. Obviously these questions are complex and discussion of them increasingly fraught, but our hope is to demonstrate Christlike concern for people and truth.

Here is the schedule:

• Monday, March 14, 7 p.m.: Wesley Hill
• Tuesday, March 15, 1:30 p.m.: Eve Tushnet
• Tuesday, March 15, 7 p.m.: Nancy Pearcey, followed by panel featuring all three speakers

Troubled by political polarization in their communities, leaders from three Oregon cities will share about their efforts to build local political civility in a panel discussion at George Fox from 7 to 8:30 p.m. this Wednesday, March 9, in Hoover 105.

Silverton mayor Kyle Palmer, Newberg mayor Rick Rogers, Canby community leader Ray Keen, and Newberg Downtown Coalition Executive Director Polly Peterson will discuss the threats to their communities’ well-being that come from bitter political divisions, and how they are working to heal those divisions and move political discourse into a more productive mode.

The event will be moderated by Ron Mock, director of the George Fox Civility Project, an initiative launched during the 2020-21 academic year out of concern about the polarization and alienation in political culture at every level (national, state and local). It sponsors events, publishes a newsletter, and maintains a website with information about civility.

Masks will be required to attend the session in person, in keeping with university policy and state regulations. Those who prefer to attend remotely can connect via Zoom. A link will be available on the Civility Project website or by contacting the project at civility@georgefox.edu.

There will be time for questions from the audience, including questions submitted via Zoom from those attending remotely.

You can download an updated Expense Reimbursement Request form from the Finance website here. The 2022 mileage rate has gone from 0.560 to 0.585 cents per mile.
