The big toe is the last part of your body to leave the ground when you walk or run. The physical therapy research team is interested in knowing exactly how strong the muscles are that control the big toe. We are looking for volunteers who are willing to have their toe and calf muscle tested for strength using two, easy to perform measurements.

If you are interested in participating, please call Jamie at 503-803-8096 for further details. Let’s see what you can do!

Plant Services is hosting its annual Phase II event this week. At the end of every school year many students have good reusable items that they do not want to take home over the summer. These items often include blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, furniture, etc.

Items are open for viewing in the Macy basement today (Friday) from 8 a.m. to noon. After students and staff view these items, the remaining items will be donated to other local charities.

In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of our resources, Phase II was initiated. Many students have benefited from these items. For example, summer work-study students often find items they need for apartment living.

Questions? Contact Dwayne Astleford (dastlefo@georgefox.edu).

As we gear up for the summer employment season, Institutional Technology wants to ensure that you have the tools in place to allow your student employees to work as effectively as possible. Because many positions work with FERPA-protected and other sensitive data, it is not appropriate to have students use their George Fox-issued student email address.

There are several options available to departments to accomplish this. If your department needs assistance setting up an email for students to use, please email servicedesk@georgefox.edu with the department that needs the account and how it will be used.

Marketing Communications will be processing the next business card order on Wednesday, May 2. Submit your request for business cards directly with B&B Print Source before Tuesday, May 1.
