Full-time faculty: We are inviting the George Fox faculty community to submit proposals for a nine-month teaching and learning project. The proposals can draw on any area of teaching and learning pedagogy that has widespread appeal to both graduate and undergraduate faculty from a range of disciplines. The project should build a learning community around a particular topic, approach or methodology that is timely, relevant and evidence-based.

Through this investment, we hope to cultivate a community of practice that prepares students spiritually, academically and professionally to think with clarity, act with integrity and serve with passion.

• Timeline: The project should launch over the summer or early fall (no later than mid-September). We expect work to take place over fall and/or spring semester with a summative component occurring in late spring.
• Selection Criteria: Academic Affairs and Faculty Development will select one project that best supports missional and student-learning objectives, draws on evidence-based practices, and demonstrates the most feasibility.
• Award Amount: Up to $5,000.
• Deadline: Friday, March 21 (notification of award will be in early April).

Submit your proposals on this form. If you have any questions, please email rwinslow@georgefox.edu.

Join the George Fox Rocket Team in watching the total lunar eclipse tonight (Thursday) at 10 p.m. in Wood-Mar 110. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth moves between the Sun and Moon, blocking most of the Sun’s light from reaching the Moon and turning it a dark red color.

There will be cherry pie and gluten-free strawberry pie available on a first-come, first-served basis. If it is clear enough, we will watch from outside, but if visibility is an issue due to weather, we will watch on a screen.  Bring a friend, and let’s celebrate this unique occurrence together!

For any questions you may have, please contact rocketteam@georgefox.edu.
