If you have a class in Ross or Bauman, be advised that there will be no heat in the buildings this week. A part failed on Friday afternoon, Nov. 6, that affects the heating system.
The part has been ordered but is shipping from the east coast. The repair will be coordinated with an outside vendor, so we do not anticipate heat in the buildings until early next week. Please bundle up if you are in these buildings.

We are excited to partner with the NWYM of Friends Churches to offer a digital conference on church planting today (Wednesday) at 5 p.m.
The main speaker will be Ed Stetzer, the Billy Graham Distinguished Chair of Church, Mission, and Evangelism at Wheaton College and Executive Director of the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College.
We are offering SpiL credit for attending his sessions, but you need to sign up through the iAttended app ASAP!
In honor of Veterans Day, Bon Appetit will be giving away one small drip coffee to anyone on campus this today (Wednesday) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Bridge Cafe. Thank you for your service!
We will be pruning the trees on the quad all day today (Wednesday). Proper pruning assists each tree to grow in a configuration that is most ideal for the best structural integrity of the tree.
Maintaining the trees’ structure helps to mitigate the risks of broken limbs and falling branches. Areas around the trees will be marked off; for your safety, we ask that you do not walk within those areas.
This event will be held via Zoom, not under the tennis court tents as originally planned.
We invite our George Fox community to a post-election prayer and processing space. Campus leaders from Spiritual Life, Residence Life, and the Intercultural Resource Center will lead us in prayer, scripture readings, and spaces to process with each other.
This time of communal prayer will be taking place under the tennis court tents this Thursday, Nov. 12, from noon to 1:30 p.m on Zoom. All students and employees are encouraged to attend.

Whatever it was, we want to hear about it and share their story!
Those who fill out the form will have a chance to win the following prizes:
First place (our favorite story): $100 Amazon gift card
Second place: $50 Amazon gift card
Third through fifth place: $25 Chapters gift card
Sixth through 10th place: Your choice of a Pennington teddy bear or George Fox playing cards

Sue O’Donnell, the campus representative to the board for the Christian Scholar’s Review, invites anyone who is interested to the following panel discussion. As you may know, George Fox is one of CSR’s most consistent sponsors, which makes this discussion relevant to our community.
Christian Scholar’s Review is pleased to announce “The Academic Vocation in a Post-2020 World: An Ecumenical Dialogue,†a virtual panel discussion this Saturday, Nov. 14, from 8 to 9:15 a.m. (PST).
The event is available at no charge. In the interest of security, participants need to register here. Shortly after doing so, registrants will receive a link for the event. For security reasons, the organizers ask that people register and then use the link they receive.
Panel members will consider questions such as:
Will 2020 be the beginning of a tipping point for Christ-centered higher education?
How will our institutions align their organizational callings with the vocational calling that faculty believe that they have received in this environment?
What has 2020 taught us to hold onto and what must be transformed for institutions to survive with their mission intact?
Following a 55-minute discussion, audience members will also have the chance to pose questions.
