The Daily Bruin

Audrie and Daisy is an urgent real-life drama that examines the ripple effects on families, friends, schools and communities when two underage young women find that sexual assault crimes against them have been caught on camera.

Consent around sex is often not taken as seriously as it should be, and, as this film makes dreadfully clear, without consent, unwanted sexual contact is sexual assault.

Come join a viewing of this award-winning documentary in the Cinematic Arts Building’s screening room this Friday, April 10, from 8 to 10 p.m., and learn how you can support survivors of sexual assault.

Join physical therapy faculty member Dr. Tess Treinen Swake this Thursday, April 9, for a Lunch & Learn on sexual anatomy and pelvic health. Grab some food and enjoy casual conversation at 11:30 a.m. The presentation will start at noon in Canyon Commons 102.

This session will cover the basics of male and female reproductive anatomy, what healthy pelvic function looks like, and when changes may signal it’s time to check in with a healthcare provider.

A meal ticket will be provided upon request. Anonymous questions can be submitted here.

If you have questions, contact Crystal McGowen at cmcgowen@georgefox.edu.

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is partnering with George Fox to host four free self-defense classes as part of our Sexual Assault Awareness Month events. Each class is the same, so you only need to sign up for one, but space is limited to 25 people. Grab a friend, throw on your trainers, and learn some important skills that will empower and encourage.

The first class is today (Tuesday) from 6 to 8 p.m. in Hadlock. Sign up here under “Self-Defense Classes” to secure your spot for tonight or any of the upcoming dates.

What does it look like when two of America’s most brilliant and outspoken minds — one a conservative lion of natural law theory, the other a prophetic voice of the Black radical tradition — sit down not as opponents, but as brothers in Christ?

On Thursday, April 16, at 7 p.m., the university invites you to “Civic Friendship in a Polarized Age,” a rare and remarkable dialogue between Princeton’s Robert George and Union Seminary’s Cornel West.

Students have the option of receiving elective chapel credit for attending. The event, originally scheduled for Canyon Commons, has been moved to Bauman Auditorium. There is no fee, but we request you please reserve your spot using this form.

Rooted not in the tired theater of political debate but in a shared Christian faith that calls all people to love their neighbors across every divide, this conversation will explore what genuine civic friendship demands of us in this fractured moment. Come expecting not a clash, but a covenant — a living demonstration that the gospel has always been, at its heart, a politics of reconciliation.

Join the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program for a “Diversity Dialogue” centered around veterans. The event will take place this Thursday, April 9, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Stevens 209.

We will be welcoming two licensed clinical social workers who work at the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) to provide information on how to support veterans as they learn about and access VA benefits.

We’ll also have a veteran share about their experience transitioning from the military into civilian life, and briefly discuss aspects of military culture.

Finally, part of our discussion will focus on resources at the VA, such as mental health support, supportive housing services, holistic health options, and the financial benefit COMPACT Act, which is for veterans in an acute suicidal crisis.

We’ll have plenty of information materials to share. We hope to see you there!

Join us at 7 p.m. this Wednesday, April 8, to hear from Jim Donald, former CEO of Starbucks, as he shares his insights on leading through change.

Donald will move beyond business theory to discuss the human element in a conversation he calls, “What They Don’t Teach You in Business School: Real-World Leadership for the Future.” This free event in Canyon Commons offers a masterclass in the human element of industry.

Donald will provide the “missing link” between classroom theory and the grit of “front-line” leadership – lessons he learned directly from legendary figures like Sam Walton, founder of Walmart. He will deep dive into an “old-school” playbook that validates the daily professional challenges of the modern age through the lens of a servant-leadership model.

Donald is a world-class executive and “Turnaround King” with a storied 50-year career in the retail and service industries. Recognized by the Best Practice Institute as one of the “Top 25 CEOs in the World,” he has held the top leadership mantle at some of the most recognizable brands in the world, including Starbucks, Albertsons, and Extended Stay Hotels.
