The Daily Bruin

We are having a party at the climbing wall tonight (Friday)! Come join us in Hadlock to cheer on climbers, enjoy “Mocktail Monday’s” climbing-themed mocktails, and play games for various prizes (including Patagonia)!

Opening ceremonies will start at 7:30 p.m. and may include a special visit from Pennington. Both employees and students are welcome!

Contact Nathanael Freeman at nfreeman19@georgefox.edu with any questions.

The Maker Hub’s Leatherworking Station isn’t just for leathersmiths! Located in the Vault, this station provides you with everything you would need for your next leather creation. You can find the tools to cut, stitch and dye leather all in one place. You can even add a special touch with the laser cutter on vegetable-tanned leather.

Check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki page for more information.

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.

We are a group of George Fox students who plan to post videos of guides and ways kids in the fourth through eighth grades can be physically active. To help us gauge how we can best help the kids in our community, please fill out this survey. Thank you!
