The Daily Bruin

Do you want to learn how to unleash your inner Tony Stark?

The George Fox University Maker’s Club is launching a pilot program designed to bring creative students from across campus into the Maker Hub. This cohort of students will gain hands-on skills such as CAD modeling, 3D printing, and coding, as well as experience in interdisciplinary innovation and entrepreneurship. Everyone is welcome, but there is limited space, so fill out this Google form to register.

The Maker’s Club is a new club on campus dedicated to unleashing the creative potential among the students at George Fox and arming them with the tools necessary to bring their ideas to life. Our ultimate goal is to bring George Fox’s future innovators into one place so they can learn from one another and create together.

If you have any questions or want to learn more, please contact David Bacher at dbacher16@georgefox.edu.

Join the College of Business’ visiting scholar, David Rawson, on Friday, March 1, from 5 to 9 p.m., when he will be signing copies of his new book, Prelude to Genocide, at Chapters Books and Coffee (701 E. 1st St).

In Prelude to Genocide, Rawson draws on declassified documents and his own experiences as a United States ambassador to Mali and Rwanda to seek out what went wrong in the events leading up to the 1994 Rwandan genocide, in which 800,000 lives were lost. It poses the question, “What lessons might be learned from the failure of diplomacy in this historic tragedy?”
