The university is pleased to offer a confidential campus advocate in partnership with the Sexual Misconduct CARE (Campus Awareness, Response and Education) team.

The campus advocate is a George Fox MSW intern located at the Moore House/Intercultural Resource Center on the Newberg campus. She is qualified to provide advocacy, accompaniment, and referral service to survivors of all forms of violence – including sexual assault, intimate partner violence, hate crimes, stalking, sexual harassment, and other forms of sexual misconduct – in order to facilitate and promote individual recovery and success.

Confidential campus advocates will not share any information or details of your experience without your permission unless you are at risk of harming yourself or others.

If you wish to seek services, walk-ins are welcome Mondays between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Thursdays between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., and Fridays between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Appointments are also available upon request.

The Newberg campus will be closed tomorrow (Friday) for the mid-semester holiday. All Newberg offices and the Murdock Library will be closed. The Bruin Store will be open for its normal Friday business hours (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.).

The university community is invited to attend the Fall Faculty Lecture, presented by Associate Professor of Nursing Lorretta Krautscheid, this Tuesday, Oct. 19, from 6 to 7 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Krautscheid, chair of the College of Nursing and recipient of the 2020-21 Faculty Achievement Award for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship, will present “Moral Distress: What Do We Know and What Can Be Done?”

Her presentation will provide insight into a nursing attrition dilemma that has seen approximately 17% of newly registered nurses leave the profession within the first year of practice. She contends that moral distress, defined as feeling constrained from action upon one’s ethical knowing, is a key factor in this trend.

She will present moral distress research findings among students and novice post-licensure nurses and discuss education recommendations promoting resilience-protective factors.

University Recreation is hosting its annual fall rock-climbing competition at the Hadlock Student Center on Friday, Oct. 29! This event is a day of fun and friendly competition that is suitable for climbers of all skill levels.

All George Fox students, employees and UREC members are invited to participate. If interested, please register here by today (Thursday) to guarantee you get a properly sized T-shirt and to secure the climbing time that you want.

Climbing sessions are now 90 minutes each. The event will last from 3 to 10 p.m., and an award ceremony with door prizes will be held at 9 p.m. Costumes are highly encouraged for the competition, as it will be Halloween weekend.

Competition rules and details can be found here.
