The Daily Bruin

Join us for the Fencing Club’s end-of-year saber tournament!

We will be meeting in Hadlock’s large fitness studio from 5 to 6 p.m. today (Friday). Swing by for some fast-paced action and the thrill of competition! We will not be teaching any fencing lessons today in order to leave room for the tournament. If you wish to participate, some amount of prior fencing experience is required.

Questions? Reach out to the club’s president, Mark Berglin, at mberglin19@georgefox.edu.

There are just a few spots left! Come by to get a massage from a Doctor of Physical Therapy student today (Friday).

The IT department currently has 14 21.5-inch iMacs (2013) for sale for $75 each at the IT Service Desk.

They all have 16GB RAM, 500 GB SSD, and an i5-4570R 2.7 processor. The computers have been reset to factory settings, are installed with OS 10.15 Catalina, and are not upgradable. Best uses are for web browsing, streaming and applications that do not require a newer operating system. Some versions of MicroSoft Office will not run on these devices.

Computers are being sold on a first-come, first-served basis at the Service Desk. We are not able to hold computers unless payment has been made. We accept debit and credit cards only for payment.

Our hours of operation can be found at it.georgefox.edu.

We are recruiting former missionaries who have started a business after returning from the mission field as interviewees for a study on the role of entrepreneurship in re-entry adjustment.

The interviews will take place by Zoom (or in person, if local) in the month of May, and run about 20 to 30 minutes. We believe participants may also benefit from sharing their stories.

If you know someone who fits this description, please kindly connect them to Tim Veach, associate professor of management here at George Fox, at tveach@georgefox.edu.

Always wanted to learn how to dance? Well, now’s your chance! Swing dance is a partner dance with one person leading and the other person following. We make the basics easy to pick up, but there are plenty of extra moves to spice up the dance floor.

No prior experience is necessary; we’ll teach you everything you need to know. Dressing up is encouraged but not required.

This will be our largest club event of the semester, so be sure to invite your friends and colleagues. Come for live jazz and a wonderful time dancing. Employees and students are welcome!
