The Daily Bruin

Join us for Beth Molzahn’s farewell reception today (Friday) in the Stevens Center (Duke) Atrium from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Her last day with us is Friday, Oct. 4.

Beth has served at the university for 18 years (plus four years as a student employee). She plans to work with her husband Rob in his real estate business and start a ministry helping those who need assistance with projects around the house.

Her first regular employee assignment with George Fox was as an administrative assistant for humanities, then as an executive assistant in academic affairs. She has spent the last 11 years in graduate admissions, primarily serving MAT faculty and students.

The next Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture of the fall is set for Monday, Sept. 30, when Roland Hoksbergen, professor of economics and international development at Calvin College, speaks from 7 to 8 p.m. in Hoover 105. The presentation is the “keynote lecture” of the series and the fourth on the theme “State of the World.”

Hoksbergen will present “The Role of the Foreigner in International Development,” in which he will explain why, despite the fact the state of the developing world is improving, poverty is down and education, health and life expectancy are up, we can’t simply “pack our bags and go home.”

The same session is presented from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m.; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.

Questions? Contact Paul Otto at ext. 2676 or potto@georgefox.edu.

Don’t forget to join us for the all-employee meeting today (Thursday), from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium.

Also, we’ll be joined by a special guest – Board Chair Gordon Crisman.

On Tuesday, Sept. 24, students eating dinner in Klages Dining Room can take Bon Appétit Management Company’s Eat Local Challenge and enjoy a delicious, 100-percent local meal from our chef’s table expo station.

All ingredients for this meal will come from local farmers and artisans within 150 miles of George Fox; the only exception is salt! The Eat Local Challenge highlights our chefs’ creativity, educates guests about eating locally and seasonally, and supports and publicizes great local farmers.

When Bon Appétit launched its first Eat Local Challenge in 2005, the idea of caring about “local food” was a novelty, not a national movement. The idea behind the annual event was to encourage people to look beyond their supermarket and seek out the bounty of food growing all around them. American Farmland Trust estimates that, in general, of $10 spent on food, only $1.58 gets back to the farmers and ranchers who grew it; middlemen take the rest. By buying directly from local farms, Bon Appétit has played a vital role in the local food movement over the last 14 years.

In addition, Bon Appétit is also sponsoring a national ELC food photography contest. Students and guests that night can take a photo of their 100 percent locally sourced meal on Eat Local Challenge Day, then Tweet or Instagram them along with #eatlocalchallenge. The best photo from all 500-plus cafés across the country will win a $200 gift certificate to a farm-to-table restaurant in their area and signed copies of two new food movement books.

Be sure to check out our menu that night at cafebonappetit.com/georgefox. We hope you enjoy this year’s Eat Local Challenge!

Don’t forget to join us for the third Liberal Arts and Critical Issues event of the fall tonight (Monday), when the film Toxic Tears will be shown from 7 to 8 p.m. in Hoover 105. The film is the latest installment in the series “State of the World.”

Toxic Tears looks at the little-known darker side of the “Green Revolution” in India that transformed agriculture, but has negatively impacted thousands of farmers in the country. The film will be followed by a discussion with a panel of George Fox professors.

The same session is presented from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m.; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.

Questions? Contact Paul Otto at ext. 2676 or potto@georgefox.edu.
