The Daily Bruin

George Fox libraries are pleased to announce the release of a significantly improved interface for the Primo search and discovery tool.

Intended to provide a more intuitive and modern look-and-feel, the new interface provides easy access to a huge volume of books, media, newspapers, journal articles and more.

The old classic interface will remain available for several months before being permanently phased out.

Please send feedback and questions to library@georgefox.edu.

Fall semester is quickly approaching, and it is time to start planning. Don’t let time get away from you and leave you scrambling at the last minute to get your class syllabus turned in.

Please submit your syllabus to Print Services by Tuesday, Aug. 22. You can email the syllabus to printservices@georgefox.edu. If you have any questions, please contact Print Services at 503-554-2555 or printservices@georgefox.edu.

The Fiesta Mexicana is this weekend, Aug. 4-6, in Woodburn! For a second straight year George Fox will have a booth at the event, and we are looking for volunteers to help staff it! This is the 54th year of the fiesta and a wonderful opportunity for you to see and experience the Latino community from where many of our students come.

The shifts are easy, as you get to enjoy talking to people, give away George Fox bling and see some great soccer, dance and other fun activities. You will not be alone, as one person from the diversity committee will be there as well, and we are matching Spanish speakers with non-Spanish speakers. That’s just an extra bonus, as most people speak English.

The fiesta runs Friday from 1 to 8 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. (the parade starts earlier) and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m..

If you can volunteer any time at all (even one to two hours), please contact Rebecca Valdovinos at rvaldovinos@georgefox.edu.

Thank you!

The Office for Spiritual Life is looking for post-college Life Group leaders for our eight-week fall Life Groups (the weeks of Sept. 18 through Nov. 10). Life Groups are small groups of undergraduate students who meet together for prayer, Bible study and fellowship.

Groups meet weekly for 60 to 90 minutes at the time and location of your choosing. Participants will select the group they wish to participate in based on the details that leaders provide. Groups are encouraged to use one of three curriculum options recommended by the Office for Spiritual and Intercultural Life that parallel other themes that are being explored in chapel.

We welcome our employees, alumni, family members of George Fox employees and students, and members of our wonderful local churches to consider leading a group. Our fall leader meeting will take place at a location to be determined on Wednesday, Sept. 6, from noon to 1:30 p.m., and lunch will be provided.

It takes a village to make our football games the success they are, and we’d love to have you join our team of incredible volunteers, the Bruin Brigade.

If you’re interested in joining the Bruin Brigade as a ticket seller or at the information table, send an email to Sarah Reid (sreid@georgefox.edu) and she’ll get you connected.
