Presenting will be Dr. Alison Modafferi, owner and physical therapist at Run the World PT & Performance. This is designed for all runners, whether you are new to running, run recreationally, or are more advanced.

The one-hour virtual presentation will cover three evidence-based principles to help reduce running-related injuries. We will discuss load management, variability and tendon stiffness and how they relate to running and injuries. We’ll also discuss practices to reduce injury risk.

Our reason for hosting? There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding running-related injuries. Together, George Fox University and Run the World have developed a framework backed by research to keep runners healthy.

This year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the George Fox University theatre program has transformed five music practice rooms into five separate, individual, virtual theatre studios in order to bring live production to your living spaces.

The five separate rooms feature individual mics, cameras, lighting units, projectors, projection screens, costume racks, and props tables. Actors will interact with each other virtually from their separate studios to bring a seamless performance of Silent Sky to life. This is an event you won’t want to miss!

So cozy up with your laptops and various devices and join us for a delightful evening of live, virtual theatre this Nov. 12-14 and Nov. 19-21 at 7:30 p.m., or Nov. 22 at 2 p.m.!

Sue O’Donnell, the campus representative to the board for the Christian Scholar’s Review, wants to invite anyone who is interested to a 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 on 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. 

For further details, please click here and/or contact the publisher of Christian Scholar’s Review, Todd C. Ream, at todd.ream@taylor.edu.
