You are invited to join the excitement of spring commencement as a volunteer! We are looking for several volunteers to serve as ushers at spring undergraduate commencement on Saturday, May 2. There will be two separate ceremonies again this year.

The schedule is as follows:

• 11 a.m.: Division of Humanities & Honors, College of Education, Division of Health & Behavioral Sciences, and George Fox Digital (this one’s almost full!)
• 3 p.m.: Division of Engineering, Science, Art & Business

This format allows a more personalized and celebratory atmosphere for our graduates and their families, and like last year, we are calling for “all-community” participation. What a thrill it is to see graduates, their families, and friends come together to celebrate!

Volunteers are vital to the smooth execution of the day’s events and help make the day memorable for our graduates and their guests. This event could not happen without you!

Please sign up for a time to serve. All who volunteer to participate as ushers will receive a $50 gift card for each ceremony they assist with! Sign up for both ceremonies and lunch will also be provided.

In coordination with Sexual Assault Awareness Month, George Fox’s CARE Team invites the George Fox community (faculty, staff, students) to design a one-color poster to be silkscreen-printed on the quad on Wednesday, April 1.

Designers can choose what kind of imagery they want to use to convey the message “Speak Up,” but remember: To be printed, the design can only use one color. Think about designing your image with nothing more than a Sharpie and a white piece of paper!

Contest winners will receive an Amazon gift card (first place: $100; second place: $50; third place: $25). Submissions are due today (Tuesday) by 11:30 p.m., and winners will be announced on Friday, March 20.
