Ken Starr, former solicitor general of the United States, federal court of appeals judge, and president of Baylor University, will speak in the university’s Bauman Auditorium this Monday, March 29, at 6:30 p.m.

His lecture, “The Prophetic Call to Justice: Safeguarding Our Fundamental Rights,” draws from his new book on religious liberty. Starr, who has argued 36 cases before the United States Supreme Court, is one of the most prominent attorneys in America.

On Tuesday, March 30, Starr will meet informally at 11 a.m. with students interested in attending law school (location TBA). If you have questions about either event, please contact Mark David Hall at mhall@georgefox.edu. 

We regret that, because of COVID restrictions, the general public is not invited to either event. This lecture is sponsored by the John Dickinson Forum and made possible by a generous grant from the Jack Miller Center and the Murdock Trust.

Make sure your emergency alert notifications are up-to-date

Monday, March 22nd, 2021

If the recent disasters that have impacted our state have taught us anything, it’s that being prepared can make a big difference. This is a good time to make sure your emergency alert notifications are turned on for both your cell phone and email

Fox Alert: The Fox Alert system broadcasts messages to the email addresses and mobile phone numbers that students, faculty and staff have provided. It is important that the information is accurate and up to date. Students, faculty and staff can change or update their contact information by logging into the portal at my.georgefox.edu and following the instructions.

ShakeAlert (Earthquake Early Warning): In addition to Fox Alert, ShakeAlert launched earlier this month in Oregon after years of development. Oregon ShakeAlert technology can give you precious seconds, or even more than a full minute of notice, before the shaking of an ongoing earthquake reaches you. To learn more, click here.

Participate in ‘Walk of Remembrance for Racial Injustice’ this weekend

Friday, March 19th, 2021

Throughout today (Saturday) and tomorrow (Sunday), students will have the opportunity to complete a “Walk of Remembrance for Racial Injustice” along the Hess Creek Heritage Trail in the canyon.

Twelve signs will be posted along the trail, each describing a historical event in which white people caused or benefitted from injustice toward People of Color.

These stories are difficult, with most detailing violence towards People of Color. This content may be triggering. Please, do not feel that you must engage with this walk if the content may be too difficult to face. We understand that this week has been marked by a heartbreaking and abhorrent attack against the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders community.

The purpose of this walk is to engage those with privilege and encourage a deeper resolve for justice. It is also an opportunity for reflection, motivation for change, and possibly healing.

We hope that you will take the time to complete the “Walk of Remembrance” if you feel comfortable doing so. The signs will be posted through the weekend, and the walk can be completed at any time.

Questions? Contact Ashley Martin (amartin18@georgefox.edu).
