P.S. We also have two fall break trips coming up next week! Interested in going backpacking or on an epic hiking trip in Bend? Please let us know!
We need to talk. About serious things, political things, theological things, and leadership things. About our bodies and our health. About poetry and death. About God. And so we’re going to talk about it, together, as people of Christian faith, in our new podcast and YouTube video series. It’s called George Fox Talks.
Every week on Tuesday we’ll be releasing engaging content from our own George Fox community. All episodes will be full audio (podcast) and in full video (YouTube) format, with shorter clips from the conversations also released on YouTube.
Our new trailer is available now, as well as the first full episode, with physical therapy professor Daniel Kang talking with Dr. Kevin Sellars about a timely topic: resilience and recovery through physical trauma. Upcoming episodes this month will feature conversations about faith and science, leadership, and reading difficult texts.
Where will you find all of this?
Here’s how you can help us:

Come to our Mathetes panel from 7 to 8:30 p.m., tonight (Thursday) in Hoover 102.
Mathetes is a safe conversational space in which students and faculty can engage with each other and learn from the experience of others in their Fox community. Our hope for this panel is that we can confront the myth that every person who is involved in higher education has the same educational experience.
This Mathetes event will unpack the experience of individuals who are English-learners (ESL), or who have experience in the language-learning environment. We hope to see you there!
Cookies and coffee will be provided!
If you have any questions, contact Victoria Prieto (vprieto17@georgefox.edu).
