All are invited to the quad to pray for our schools on Aug. 17

Thursday, June 20th, 2024

Join us on Saturday, Aug. 17, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. as we host our inaugural Prayer for Oregon Schools event by the Centennial Tower in the quad! We will engage in a time of worship, small-group and/or individual prayer, and fellowship.

Bring your family and friends (as well as something to sit on) as we pray for the upcoming school year. We’ll pray for our K-12 and higher ed students, faculty, staff, parents, school communities, boards, leaders and more.

It’s our hope that people will join us as we step out in faith as the church and prayerfully invite the Lord into this area that needs more light – our Oregon schools. The event is open to anyone who has a desire to come collectively in prayer and bring our schools and the people who are in them to the feet of Jesus.

A guided prayer booklet will also be available for those interested in additional points of prayer for the event. Please do not hesitate to contact Sara Hahn-Huston, assistant professor of educational leadership in the College of Education, at shahnhuston@georgefox.edu for more information, or if you would like a digital postcard invitation to share with friends.

Participate in brain activity research study for chance to win $100 Amazon card

Tuesday, May 28th, 2024

Do your part for science, a fellow student, and maybe even your Amazon wish list by participating in a two-week research study exploring brain activity in different conditions.

You won’t know what condition you’ll be doing until you sign up for the Richter grant study, but I can guarantee you won’t do anything life threatening, physically exhaustive, or anything that allows me to read your mind. The study requires you to sit in a room and do the task from one of the conditions. Sessions will only take 10 to 15 minutes.

Everyone who participates will be entered into a raffle for a $100 Amazon gift card! Write edelvalle21@georgefox.edu to be involved in this study.

Thank you!

– Eden Del Valle
