We will be pruning the trees on the quad all day on both Tuesday, Nov. 10, and Wednesday, Nov. 11. Proper pruning assists each tree to grow in a configuration that is most ideal for the best structural integrity of the tree.
Maintaining the trees’ structure helps to mitigate the risks of broken limbs and falling branches. Areas around the trees will be marked off; for your safety, we ask that you do not walk within those areas.
What is symbolism? Why do symbols in flags and signs cause emotional reactions within us? How do we stand up for what we believe while also honoring God?
Attend Mathetes to hear from a panel of students, faculty, and community members on their experience with political and patriotic symbols. We will be meeting over Zoom today (Tuesday) at 7 p.m. RSVP here.
Have you ever wondered about who qualifies for disability accommodations at Fox? Would you like to talk with students who currently utilize these accommodations? Would you like to make an appointment with an academic coach from the ARC?

If so, this event is for you! Join ustoday (Tuesday) from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Zoom. We’ll introduce ourselves and then move to breakout rooms so you can have a private conversation with a representative.
Students, how have you experienced the Be Known promise? Maybe it’s a professor who invited you into their life beyond the classroom, or a staff member who prayed with you when you needed it most. Whatever it is, we want to hear about it and share your story!

Second place: $50 Amazon gift card
Third through fifth place: $25 Chapters gift card
Sixth through 10th place: Your choice of a Pennington teddy bear or George Fox playing cards

In recognition of the extra stress everyone is facing in 2020, George Fox is adding a previously unscheduled holiday to the fall 2020 semester. George Fox will add a “Day of Rest†this year on Wednesday, Nov. 11. This coincides with Veterans Day, giving everyone the opportunity to honor those who have served our country. All classes will be canceled and offices will be closed. In a year of unpleasant surprises, we hope this will provide a brief time of respite and renewal for our students and employees.

Aren’t new PJs just wonderful during the holidays? We think so, and we’re working with United Way, during their annual Pajama Drive, to provide over 1,600 local children and families in crisis with a new pair of jammies. It seems like such a small thing, but sometimes the comfort of a small gift can make a big difference.
Now through Nov. 30, you can drop off your donation at the food bank in Roberts 109. Or, mail your donation to campus box 6148.
Decorate with some Bruin pride this year! The volleyball and lacrosse teams are selling George Fox Christmas ornaments as a fundraiser. They also make great gifts!

Join the College of Physical Therapy for a free Zoom webinar, “Three Key Principles to Reduce Running-Related Injuries,” at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 20.
Presenting will be Dr. Alison Modafferi, owner and physical therapist at Run the World PT & Performance. This is designed for all runners, whether you are new to running, run recreationally, or are more advanced.
The one-hour virtual presentation will cover three evidence-based principles to help reduce running-related injuries. We will discuss load management, variability and tendon stiffness and how they relate to running and injuries. We’ll also discuss practices to reduce injury risk.
Our reason for hosting? There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding running-related injuries. Together, George Fox University and Run the World have developed a framework backed by research to keep runners healthy.
