Sabrina Bailey, a George Fox alumna and executive at the London Stock Exchange Group, will visit to discuss leadership in an entirely new way, talking about how success is built, in her lecture “Can’t Touch This: Investing in Success Factors No One Can Take Away.”
Unlike many presentations you may have heard on management style, career ladders, goal setting and key performance indicators, Bailey will “peel back the onion” to illuminate unchanging, fundamental factors that secure an unshakable foundation for success. You won’t want to miss it!
Refreshments and a social hour will follow after the talk.

It’s hard to guarantee that the piece of wood you want to work with is flat. The Maker Hub’s Powermatic Jointer helps carve wood down to produce a flat surface along a board’s length. This helps when gluing board edges together so they can be flat and fit together without gaps.
A jointer cuts with a helical cutter-head made up of many tiny carbide cutters wrapped around a rotating drum. Check out this video to see how it works! For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki Page.
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.

Getting tested regularly can find breast, cervical, and colon cancers early, when treatment is likely to work best. Screenings can help prevent cancer.
It’s important to consider your health throughout the year and be as proactive as possible before more serious issues arise. National Cancer Prevention Month is a great time to pause and consider what screenings you may be due for.
Some of the most common types of cancer screenings (and recommended ages) include:
- Skin (starting in your 20s or 30s, especially when at increased risk)
- Cervical (women aged 21 to 29 years screen for cervical cancer every three years with cytology alone. Women aged 30 to 65 years screen for cervical cancer every three years with cytology alone, every five years with hrHPV testing alone, or every five years with co-testing).
- Prostate (men in their 40s)
- Colorectal (starting at age 45 and continuing until age 75)
- Lung (annually in adults aged 50 to 80 who have a 20-pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years)
- Breast (every two years for women at average risk and aged 50 to 74)
