Join Courtney Anderegg, assistant professor of communication, and Disability & Accessibility Services for a faculty conversation on course preparation from 3 to 4 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 26, via this Zoom link.

In this workshop, we will focus on course preparation with a focus on universal design and anticipating student accommodations. If instructors work with this student-centered approach to course preparation, accommodation requests will seem less burdensome and the Be Known promise will be enacted even before a student steps into the classroom.

Following the presentation we will host a time for questions and faculty discussion. Questions? Contact Andrea Byerley at abyerley@georgefox.edu.

Please remember that face coverings are required in all buildings on campus. The COVID Operations Team receives daily reports of face-covering non-compliance in the Bruin Den in Klages.

We have recently posted signs reminding our community of this requirement. Please remember to pay attention to seating requirements in the booths. Unfortunately, if we continue to have reports of non-compliance in the Bruin Den, we may be required to close this space.

Thank you for helping to keep our campus safe and open for use.

Policies regarding COVID compliance can be found on this website. If you have any questions, please contact Jere Witherspoon (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu) in the student life office.

Attention students and faculty: Registration for the George Fox Digital summer online term will begin next week, on Wednesday, Feb. 24.

Our summer online courses are all full credit, but occur in half the normal time frame – eight weeks, beginning June 7 and ending on Aug. 1. Tuition is $499 per credit, which is a small but notable reduction from previous years, and comes in at less than 50% off the tuition price for classes during the traditional semesters.

We offer a list of 33 different options; check out the website and course list here.

Talk with your CAP Coach about how you can take summer online courses to help stay on track and graduate on time. If you have additional questions, contact Brian Doak (bdoak@georgefox.edu).

George Fox Digital is releasing a series of public lectures on YouTube addressing the pandemic and Christian faith. How are we to understand suffering in light of God’s goodness? What do our academic disciplines have to say about theology and the pandemic?

The second of these lectures is out now, as professor Abigail Favale speaks on the topic “Christianity as a Response to the Problem of Human Suffering.”

We’ll be releasing a new lecture in this series on our YouTube playlist every Tuesday throughout February and early March.

Questions? Contact Brian Doak (bdoak@georgefox.edu).
