Please join us for our Spring Diversity Dialogue with Jason Fileta on Wednesday, March 20, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Hoover 103.
We will learn more about how we live in a time when diversity-focused courses, curricula, and programs are being eliminated from educational institutions and corporations. Many of those that remain are entirely detached from a broader context of racial justice.
How should followers of Christ approach this moment and these issues? This presentation will look to Scripture for a Kingdom approach to diversity and justice.

- Networking: Building relationships and fostering connections among project management professionals across different departments and teams

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will be hosting the final round of Scholarship Summit today (Friday). With around 300 visitors expected on campus, we are asking George Fox students and employees to help extend the Be Known promise throughout the day. Here’s what you can keep in mind.
- Use street parking instead of campus parking lots. Guests will be arriving on campus between 7:45 and 8:30 a.m. and will fill all the main campus parking lots.
- Be mindful of guests in your housing area. We will have housing tours circulating through Edwards, Gulley, Pennington, HMS, and Newlin from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tour groups will be viewing dorm lobbies and a room on the first floor of each dorm.
- Plan for a busier-than-usual Canyon Commons. Guests will be going through the main servery line. If you see a family looking for a spot to sit, invite them to join you!
If you have questions, email visit@georgefox.edu or call Lauren Hill at 503-554-2245.
