May is Asian American, Native Hawai’ian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month and, as always, the Intercultural Resource Center has compiled another digital document for engagement.

This resource has many recommendations to complement your summer plans (like a new playlist to listen to) and to get you excited for your return to campus in the fall (like taking part in community through the multicultural clubs).

As always, we want to hear from and represent you, so if you have recommendations for this month or future cultural heritage months, please let us know by filling out this form.

Happy Asian American, Native Hawai’ian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month, George Fox!

Do you suffer from knee pain and are over the age of 50? You may very well be an ideal candidate for a research study being conducted by Rebecca Dobler, a faculty member in the university’s Department of Physical Therapy.

The purpose of the study is to determine the influences of peak effort in participants with knee pain and/or knee osteoarthritis during a one-minute sit-to-stand test, and new approaches in knee pain education. The research is being done in conjunction with A.T. Still University to fulfill dissertation requirements of the principal investigator.

We are seeking participants who are over 50 with either self-declared knee pain or documented knee OA from a provider. An initial phone screening will be completed to determine your eligibility. The study will be conducted at the Medical Sciences Building at 448 Werth Blvd., in Newberg.

Please call 503-554-2466 or email gotkneesdpt@georgefox.edu for more information.
