The Daily Bruin

Every seven years George Fox University is evaluated by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) to ensure that we comply with their requirements and standards, and to collect evidence that we serve all students and employees well.

Our next visit, which will be virtual, is scheduled for April 6-7, 2021. Along with individual interviews with key people, there will be three open forums for George Fox community members to share experiences and information with the evaluation team.

Each forum is designed for a different audience: students (grad and undergrad), staff, administrators, and faculty. The forums are currently scheduled during these times for 50 minutes each:

• Students: Wednesday, April 7, at 11 a.m.
• Staff/Administrators: Tuesday, April 6, at noon
• Faculty: Tuesday, April 6, at 3 p.m.

Please plan to attend if at all possible, as we are hoping for a wide range of input for the team. Watch The Daily Bruin for Zoom links to your designated meeting time.

For more information, please contact Linda Samek, accreditation liaison officer, at lsamek@georgefox.edu.

For the purpose of this program, research is defined as a knowledge-generating activity that is designed to provide new information on a topic, tool, or process, and that proceeds according to established and accepted research methods.

Before preparing a proposal, please read through the full proposal guidelines, eligibility requirements, and review criteria on this page.

Faculty mentors: Please note that several important proposal elements and eligibility requirements have been recently updated. Please thoroughly read through all posted documentation as you work with your student mentee to prepare a proposal.
