The Students for Life Club is hosting Autumn Higashi tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6 p.m. in EHS 102 for her fall 2023 tour: “Planned Parenthood Betrays Women.”
Here is what Autumn has to say about the event: “This tour will encourage and inform pro-life students on how they can be an authentic support system for the pregnant and parenting mothers on their campus and their communities. Women deserve better than Planned Parenthood, and I am excited to bring that message to the West Coast.”

Ben Bowman is a Democrat in the Oregon State Legislature. Reagan Knopp is a Republican political activist. They disagree … a lot! But they also work together to produce The Oregon Bridge, the best political podcast in the state.
How do they do it? How do they relate to their guests from across the political spectrum? How do they keep the podcast so upbeat and civil? What effect are they trying to have on Oregon politics? How much pushback do they get from people in the two major parties? What can we learn from their experience?
Come find out tonight (Monday) at 7:15 p.m. in Hoover 105. This event is sponsored by the George Fox University Civility Project. For further information, contact Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu.

Are you curious about AI, its promise, uses, and dangers? We are all trying to understand how we can make responsible, ethical use of AI in our everyday work, but also whether our career goals or ambitions will need to adjust.
Join History Professor Travis Ross in GEED 285/485: Teaching & Learning with AI this spring.
An interdisciplinary elective available for either upper or lower division credit, this course will critically engage with the past, present, and near future of AI. There are no prerequisites and no expectation that students in the course will know how to program, though students who do — and those who are willing to learn — are certainly welcome.
Together, we will apply AI critically and creatively to real problems, investigating its potential by pushing its limits. How do these models work? What can we make them do for us? What will be left to humans in the future and how can we prepare for the age of AI?
This course will be hybrid, meet in-person Wednesday afternoons from 1 to 2:50 p.m. with asynchronous online components, too. It will be highly collaborative, centered around team- and project-based learning.
If you are curious — even cautiously curious — please inquire with professor Ross at tross@georgefox.edu.
