The Daily Bruin

The Nutrition Matters grant at George Fox is sponsoring upcoming cooking demonstrations. If you would like to learn how to make a healthy meal, join us in Canyon Commons today (Thursday) from 5 to 6 p.m. to learn how to make breakfast food!

Emily Forbes, a George Fox alumna and local nutritionist, is passionate about helping students learn to make healthy meals. You will walk away with knowledge on how to make a dish, a sample and the recipe! It’s like watching a cooking show, but you actually get to taste the food! Join us!

Any questions should be directed to Kristi Welker at kwelker@georgefox.edu.

Come join the Students For Life Club this evening (Thursday) to watch October Baby, a powerful story of a freshman who goes on a journey to find her biological mother after learning she is an adopted survivor of an attempted abortion.
