The Daily Bruin

What’s it like to go from college to career? What can you do now to be a qualified candidate for a job after graduation? What skills are employers looking for? What’s it actually like to be a working young adult?

If these questions are on your mind, come to the next Industry Insiders tomorrow (Tuesday) from 1:25 to 2:40 p.m. in Hoover 105.

You will hear from seven recent grads who are working in a wide range of business fields and for a diverse set of companies:

• A production assistant at an experience-driven agency specializing in immersive storytelling
• A director of marketing and operations managing day-to-day operations for LivBar, an energy bar startup
• A product marketing analyst involved in product marketing and project management
• An assistant operations manager for a local manufacturing company after earning an MBA
• A client success manager for a software analytics firm in central Oregon
• An admissions counselor at George Fox who used to work in marketing for a fitness agency and a digital marketing company as a SEO and a PPC specialist

All majors are welcome at this event. Sign up here. Faculty, be sure to tell your students about this opportunity! Questions? Contact Colleen Sump at csump@georgefox.edu.

Are you passionate about creating opportunities for our students to thrive? Are you grateful to sow into what God is doing in the lives of our students personally, academically and spiritually? The employee giving campaign is your opportunity!

“Grateful to GIVE so our students can THRIVE” is our theme this year. Giving you the opportunity to invest in an even greater way is our mission. Increasing our employee giving percentage, which ultimately provides increased opportunities for our students, is our goal.

The employee giving campaign will take place from Monday, Nov. 4, through Friday, Nov. 8. Each day of the campaign we will highlight a different topic. Check out the Daily Bruin during the campaign for more information about that day’s theme:

• Monday Fund-day: Learn about the various funds you can support at our Ice Cream Social. Join us on Monday, Nov. 4, at any time between 2:30 and 4 p.m. in Canyon Commons 103. All employees are invited! RSVP here.
• Tuesday Choose-Day: Do you have a heart for our grad or undergrad student population? Visit our employee giving page and choose the fund you’re most passionate about.
• Wednesday Friends-Day: Tell a friend about all you’ve learned and join in the privilege of supporting our students through a financial gift.
• Thankful Thursday: Take the opportunity to share with your coworkers about what you’re thankful for here at George Fox and how you can turn your thankfulness into action.
• Finish Strong Friday: This will be the last day of our campaign. Please consider giving so we can finish strong!
