This week the George Fox team for “Race to 2025” is in its last stages of preparation for the adventure race (taking place over fall break). On Friday morning, our team of four students will be leaving for Montana to compete with other college teams in an outdoor adventure race with eternal impact.

Before we leave we need your help! As part of “Race to 2025” our team has committed to raising more than $2,000 in donations. This will go directly to funding an active Bible translation project in Cameroon.

Look for us this coming week, selling donuts in the Bruin Den or doing a dollar drive across campus.

If you have a heart for global missions and you want to be a part of bringing God’s Word to unreached people groups, join us in raising money for “Race to 2025.”

To learn more about getting on a “Race to 2025” team during spring semester, or to find out more about the race, check out the website here or contact Mary Owen at mowen10@georgefox.edu.

Are you interested in attending a professional health program after George Fox? Are you pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pre-veterinary, pre-physical therapy, pre-optometry, pre-pharmacy, etc.? Get informed on what it takes to get into a professional health program by attending a pre-professional information meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17, in EHS 125.

The topics covered at the meeting will include admission requirements, the application process, and resources available to you at GFU. This meeting is an annual event, so you may not need to attend if you have done so before. New interested students should plan on it!

If you have any questions, please contact Jane Sweet at jsweet@georgefox.edu or John Schmitt at jschmitt@georgefox.edu. If you are not able to attend, but consider yourself a pre-professional health student, please contact Jane so that you are added to the pre-professional health student contact group.

Faculty members, please tell students you think may be interested about this opportunity.

Do you crave companionship? Unconditional devotion? You need a goldfish! Or a troubling of Goldfish! (I don’t know why a group of goldfish is called a “troubling,” since they are delightful companions.)

Come to the lab (EHS 202) during office hours (7 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and take yours home today. Ziploc travel containers provided for your new friend’s comfort and containment. I’ll meet you by the aquarium if you need help. Adoptions open until all find homes.
