The Daily Bruin

Once again, the Global Leadership Summit, a national program designed to help students embrace the leadership roles that God has called them to, is taking place Aug. 6-7. And although George Fox isn’t serving as a sponsor this year, students are still encouraged to participate. More information is available at willowcreek.com/summit.

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.

Save the date: We will be hosting a retirement banquet to honor Mark Ocker. The event will be held at the Portland Center on Friday, Aug. 14. Tickets are $15 per person, and dinner will begin at 6 p.m.

We know that Mark has touched the lives of many people in the George Fox community over the years. Please share the news of this celebration with friends and colleagues old and new. All are welcome.

For more information, contact Ashley O’Doherty at 503-554-6180 or aodoherty@georgefox.edu.

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. Herbert Hoover, the 31st president of the United States, attended the precursor to George Fox, Friends Pacific Academy, in the 1880s.

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.

The eight- to 10-hour First Aid/CPR/AED classes are in two five-hour sections on two consecutive days:

Season tickets for Bruin football are now on sale for the 2015 season, but the limited tickets that remain are expected to sell fast. These seats are located in the covered grandstands and are reserved, which means you don’t have to arrive to the stadium early to save your seat. Each season ticket costs $80 and can be purchased online via this link.

Last summer several departments profited from on-site training in what to do in an active-shooter-on-campus situation. If your department wasn’t able to schedule this training then, please consider setting it up for this summer.

Instruction is given on what to do in an emergency situation like an active shooter, and then an actual scenario is set up in your building so you can find out how to react, escape or hide from a threatening situation, and what to do next.

Please contact security at 503-554-2090 or e-mail Ed Gierok (egierok@georgefox.edu) to discuss scheduling this training for your department. Your work-study students are also encouraged to attend.

Do you know what to do if a medical emergency were to happen in your classroom or office? Could you administer CPR, perform first aid or use an automated external defibrillator (AED)?

If the answer is no, please contact Training Officer Mark Stone at 503-554-2090 to schedule a training class this summer so you will be trained and will know what to do in case of a medical emergency. Class sizes are limited to eight per class and can be tailored to what fits your schedule.

Weather permitting, the Hoover parking lot is the next to be restriped today (Tuesday). Please park in either the Wood-Mar or Stevens parking lots.

Thank you!
