The Newberg School District is looking for a host family to share the experience of American culture with the exchange teacher participating in the Teachers of Critical Languages Program this coming school year.

In addition to understanding American culture, the teacher coming to teach Mandarin to Newberg middle and high school students wants to share her Chinese culture with Americans and improve relationships between our two countries. The host family, or families hosting for a partial year, would be responsible for renting a room in their home, including her in day-to-day family life and assisting with transportation to and from the high school (she will have a bicycle).

The exchange teacher will participate in an American “boot camp,” a welcome program and local cultural introduction, plus ongoing Chinese cultural exchange activities at George Fox. A host (or hosts) is needed between Aug. 20, 2015, through June 2016. A stipend is included. Please contact Stafford Boyd at 503-554-5015 or boyds@newberg.k12.or.us for further information.

Fencing is now up around the construction site for the new dining hall. Students and staff will find that the fencing disturbs the typical north/south campus pedestrian flow, and that pedestrians now need to go around the east side of the Villa Academic Complex in order to move up and down the east side of campus.

Additionally, there are gates on both ends of the job site; these are for construction personnel with protective equipment to enter only. Please join us in helping ensure the job site is safe and secure.

Questions? Contact Ted Allen at tallen@georgefox.edu or ext. 2161.

Please check out the Student Support Network website for more information.

Please contact Jere Witherspoon (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2316) or Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2314) if you have any questions or need more information.

The influence and impact of the church is felt most fully when everyone who’s part of a church is fully living out the life God has called them to live. This includes leaders from business, education, nonprofits and ministry. The Global Leadership Summit is designed to fuel students’ passions and sharpen their leadership skills.

The campus community is invited to a presentation of the play First Lady Lou, a one-woman dramatization of the life of Lou Hoover, wife of President Herbert Hoover, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 19, in Wood-Mar Auditorium.

The play features professional actress Jane Fellows in the title role. Tickets, available at the door, are $15 for general admission, $10 for seniors and university employees, and $5 for students.

After the play, a “talk-back” session with Fellows and Leslie Hoover-Lauble, great-granddaughter of Herbert and Lou Hoover, will be moderated by the university’s archivist Rachel Thomas.

The presentation is among the events planned during the Friends Association for Higher Education Conference, scheduled on the George Fox campus Thursday through Sunday, June 18-21. The event will draw Friends educators from colleges, universities and study centers from around the world.
