The Daily Bruin

Unlike several of our peer institutions, George Fox currently has no partnership with a daycare facility near campus. Friendsview Retirement Community (next to campus) is exploring the idea of creating a daycare center.

Friendsview needs your help to determine the level of interest from George Fox students/employees in using the daycare service and in volunteering to ensure it is well-staffed. Click here to take the survey.

In addition to providing a paid service, Friendsview wishes to offer George Fox students the opportunity to earn daycare credit by working alongside volunteers and daycare coordinators. To make the daycare center well-staffed for each school/work day, a sufficient number of volunteers/credit earners will be needed.

The benefits of volunteering in the daycare include firsthand experience related to a class or future career and personal enrichment as you support the George Fox community. If you are interested in serving in this capacity, please click the link above.

Questions? Contact Corban Harwood at rharwood@georgefox.edu.

This Friday, April 21, the William Penn Honors Program student government will host a “Cinema Chat” beginning at 7 p.m. in the FoxHole.

We will chill for a great movie night, then transition into some casual discussion. There will be a bunch of snacks and drinks to enjoy. As always, the movie will be a surprise, but we will say that it’s a true cult classic.

Questions? Contact Adrian Moons (amoons15@georgefox.edu).

Do you want to grow and develop as a leader? Is growing your leadership presence part of your performance goals or faculty growth plan for 2017-18?

If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you may want to consider applying for the Leadership Development Initiative (LDI). The program welcomes both women and men who are current George Fox employees who desire to grow in their current role or seek to prepare themselves for future leadership roles.

Applications are now being accepted for the 2017-18 cohort and are due by May 1, 2017. For more information and to access the application, please fill out the Leadership Development Initiative Application.

If you have questions, please contact a member of the LDI planning team: Emily Call, Rebecca Hernandez, Susanna Steeg or Missy Terry.

Join us for a special theatre production, Falling, playing in Wood-Mar Auditorium this Friday and Saturday, April 21-22. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. both nights.

This show is about a day in the life of a family with a severely autistic son and the delicate balance that is tested when a family member from out of town comes to visit. Each family member tries to find equilibrium between what’s best for the family and what is best for themselves.

According to the playwright, “The play bravely speaks a truth about love and family and about hopes and dreams. It asks, ‘How do you love someone who is difficult to love?'”

Tickets are $3. The production is directed, designed and performed by students. Please join us in listening to and experiencing this story this weekend only!
