Physical activity is an inexpensive, powerful medicine that helps people but is underutilized. A continuing medical education event, Interprofessional Solutions for Physical Inactivity in Primary Care, will empower healthcare clinicians to activate the people they support.

Join us between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 9, for this remote presentation. The fee is $100 for professionals, $50 for residents, interns and students, and free for George Fox students! Register here for the course.

Our presenters will review new CDC guidelines for physical activity alongside brief evidenced-based assessment and treatment approaches. The Patient-Reported Outcome Monitoring Information System (PROMIS) will be reviewed and utilized.

Contact Tammy O’Doherty (todohert@georgefox.edu) for more information.

A George Fox alumna, JeanneAnn Farris, and a current student, Nicola Pieper, have created a play called International. A free play reading will be performed via Zoom on Wednesday, April 22, at 7:30 p.m.

International is a play that explores the challenges and experiences of people who identify with more than one country. It delves into the struggles of identity in country, identity in the Christian faith, and the clashes and correlation of the two in relation to one another. It’s a compiling of interviews, most of which are associated with students and faculty of George Fox University.

If you’re interested, would like to know more information, or would like the link to the Zoom session, email internationalstagedreading@gmail.com.

Please make sure that you continue to carefully follow physical distancing guidelines to slow the spread of COVID. With the beautiful weather, it is tempting to relax our attention to these important matters.

If you are using the George Fox track or field or are out on the quad or elsewhere on campus, these guidelines from the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) should be carefully followed:

• Stay home, save lives. The best way to stay healthy and prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to stay home. You must also limit things you do outside your home to what you must do. Examples of things you must do are shopping for food or picking up medicines. The governor’s order does not allow gatherings where people cannot keep six feet apart. Also, the order does not allow social events and non-essential business where people come into close contact. 
• Maintain six feet between you and all other people.
• Wash or sanitize your hands after contact with any surface.
• Do not touch your face, except after washing and sanitizing your hands.
• Avoid groups and contact with other people.

Each year during Holy Week, the Office for Spiritual Life invites the community to meditate on Jesus’ journey to the cross through a Stations of the Cross prayer experience.

As we are not able to gather together for this annual tradition, the university pastors invite you to create a similar experience in your own home. We invite you to print this document and post the Scriptures around your home so that, as you move through your house, you may prayerfully meditate on Jesus’ journey to the cross throughout this Holy Week.

Peace be with you.
