Join Ultimate Frisbee tournament this Saturday

Sunday, March 31st, 2019

The Bruin Ultimate Frisbee Club is hosting a George Fox-only hat tournament this Saturday, April 6, from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Austin Sports Complex.

A hat tournament is where teams are randomly chosen from a hat and play a round-robin Frisbee tournament. This is open to all students and faculty, regardless of previous experience. The goal is to have fun, build community, and play some Ultimate Frisbee! Sign up here.

Please note: Bring both a light- and dark-colored shirt to distinguish between teams. The club will provide water and probably have bananas; if you want more snacks or Gatorade, make sure to bring it. Finally, we will be selling club discs for $10 each, so bring some cash to get a fancy new Frisbee.

Questions? Contact Kaleb Puckett at puckettk16@georgefox.edu.

Day, an associate professor of constructive theology and African American religion at Princeton Theological Seminary, will present a moving examination of the Azusa Street Revival of 1906 to 1915 and powerfully weave her talk into the contemporary concerns of today.

Day’s teaching and research interests are in womanist/feminist theologies, social critical theory, cultural studies, economics, and Afro-Pentecostalism. She is the author of Unfinished Business: Black Women, The Black Church, and the Struggle to Thrive in America (2012) and Religious Resistance to Neoliberalism: Womanist and Black Feminist Perspectives (2015).

She is at work on her third book manuscript, which explores how early Pentecostalism contributes to the religious and democratic imagination. In 2017, she was recognized by ABC News as one of six black women at the “center of gravity” in theological education in America.
