We are conducting a research study that examines the effects of an acute stretch routine on the cognitive functioning of students in a classroom setting. We need your help in getting the word out.

Students will be asked to come into the classroom 20 minutes prior to the start of class on two separate occasions to have testing done. They will then attend class and be given a short survey to complete at the end of both class periods. If you would be interested in promoting our study in your class, please fill out this survey and we will get back to you with further instructions.

Thank you in advance!

Midterm grades provide an accurate picture of your academic progress so far this semester.

The last day to withdraw from a class without a graded responsibility for a class you may be struggling in is Sunday, Nov. 7. This means that if you withdraw from a class, your transcript will show a “W.” If you do not withdraw now and ultimately do not pass a course, your GPA will suffer.

If your professor has not yet given you a midterm grade, please contact them right away to find out where you stand in that course.

Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.

Students who received a D or an F on their midterms should contact their CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the consequences of withdrawing from a class. If a student withdraws from a class, they should also contact their CAP coach to discuss their class schedule for future semesters.

Follow this link to contact CAP coaches.

Other resources for students are easily accessible on campus:

• Services for Tutoring
• Academic Resource Center

If you need help or have any questions, please contact studentlife@georgefox.edu.

The university is pleased to offer a confidential campus advocate in partnership with the Sexual Misconduct CARE (Campus Awareness, Response and Education) team.

The campus advocate is a George Fox MSW intern located at the Moore House/Intercultural Resource Center on the Newberg campus. She is qualified to provide advocacy, accompaniment, and referral service to survivors of all forms of violence – including sexual assault, intimate partner violence, hate crimes, stalking, sexual harassment, and other forms of sexual misconduct – in order to facilitate and promote individual recovery and success.

Confidential campus advocates will not share any information or details of your experience without your permission unless you are at risk of harming yourself or others.

If you wish to seek services, walk-ins are welcome Mondays between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Thursdays between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., and Fridays between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Appointments are also available upon request.

The Newberg campus will be closed tomorrow (Friday) for the mid-semester holiday. All Newberg offices and the Murdock Library will be closed. The Bruin Store will be open for its normal Friday business hours (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.).

The university community is invited to attend the Fall Faculty Lecture, presented by Associate Professor of Nursing Lorretta Krautscheid, this Tuesday, Oct. 19, from 6 to 7 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Krautscheid, chair of the College of Nursing and recipient of the 2020-21 Faculty Achievement Award for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship, will present “Moral Distress: What Do We Know and What Can Be Done?”

Her presentation will provide insight into a nursing attrition dilemma that has seen approximately 17% of newly registered nurses leave the profession within the first year of practice. She contends that moral distress, defined as feeling constrained from action upon one’s ethical knowing, is a key factor in this trend.

She will present moral distress research findings among students and novice post-licensure nurses and discuss education recommendations promoting resilience-protective factors.
