Consider supporting DPT service trip to Uganda

Monday, January 15th, 2024

This year, the George Fox University Doctor of Physical Therapy program will have the opportunity to travel to Uganda and serve their communities in need. While we’re there, we will partner with local leaders and advocacy groups to provide training and collaborate in the treatment and management of people with disabilities.

Our time will be spent at two boarding schools for children with disabilities, as well as with local physicians and nurses helping run free primary care clinics. The GFU DPT program cannot wait to see how God works through this trip for our students and those whom they will be serving.

With your support, GFU DPT will be able to not only serve the people in the rural areas of Uganda, but also utilize the physical therapy and differential diagnosis skills that they have learned in the program. Would you prayerfully consider supporting the GFU DPT with a gift today?

Thank you for partnering with us!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Garrett Cassio (gcassio22@georgefox.edu)!

Join Mediation as Civility event on Jan. 23

Monday, January 15th, 2024

One powerful tool for healing our polarized communities is community mediation. Yamhill County has had a volunteer community mediation program for 25 years, but now it’s getting a boost with help from the Neighbor-to-Neighbor Community Dispute Resolution Center in Salem.

What will this mean for our area? What opportunities will it provide for those locked in disputes? What about for those who want to be healers in our community?

Come and find out from two Neighbor-to-Neighbor staff members, and the director of George Fox’s Civility Project, in our Mediation as Civility event at 7 p.m. on Jan. 23 in Hoover 105.

If you have any questions, please contact Ron Mock at rmock@georgefox.edu.

Please review the updated campus display and posting policies

Thursday, January 11th, 2024

Posters and displays are generally intended to advertise a particular event or raise awareness about the activities of an officially recognized campus club or organization.

With this in mind, please pay special attention to the following policies:

  • Campus displays must be submitted for approval at least two weeks before the display is to be posted.
  • Campus displays and posters are not considered approved until the final notification is received and display items have received a stamp from the Office of Student Life. Clubs and student activity teams must have their posters and displays approved by Kara Holcombe at kholcombe@georgefox.edu.
  • You must take down your flyers when your event is over.
  • Post only on bulletin boards, posting kiosks or sandwich boards. Do not post on walls, windows or doors. (However, event location signs may be placed on building entrance doors on the day of the event and then removed after the event.)
  • Save time by first sending your design to studentlife@georgefox.edu. Then, once approved via email, bring your posters to the Student Life Office in Hadlock to be stamped.

Find all the details you need in the Student Handbook under the Campus Display & Posting Policy section.

If you have any questions, please contact Jere Witherspoon at jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu.
