The IDEA Center is hosting a “Be Found February 30-Day Challenge” to any student who is serious about landing an internship or job this summer.
Internships are the new entry-level job, and the new norm is that college grads need at least two internships before landing a full-time professional job offer. Throughout “Be Found February,” we will offer workshops and career events catered to landing your 2016 summer internship or job.
For the next 30 days, just invest a few hours each week coming to our workshops. After the 30-Day Challenge, you’ll turn the application process from several stressful hours to only 15 minutes. You’ll also have a game plan of the internship/job search process, and you’ll be ready to apply and interview for opportunities at a moment’s notice.
Take the challenge and bring your lunch to the Cap and Gown Room from noon to 1 p.m. over the next four Mondays.
Our webpage has more information. Questions? Stop by the IDEA Center or contact us at idea@georgefox.edu.

In the event of a campus- or city-wide emergency such as a severe winter storm, flood or major earthquake, employees, students and visitors to George Fox should be prepared to keep safe and possibly assist in recovery. Therefore, we are providing life-saving C-CERT training for any and all interested persons.
In an effort to make it easier for more people to participate, we are doing a hybrid course of online instruction combined with lunch-hour training once a week to build knowledge and skills as a CERT member. The weekly meetings will be every Tuesday starting Feb. 2 and last from noon to 1 p.m.
