The Daily Bruin

Join us at 6 p.m. tomorrow (Tuesday) in Hoover 105 to watch a showing of the documentary film Soufra, the inspirational story of intrepid social entrepreneur Mariam Shaar, a refugee who has spent her entire life in the 69-year-old Burl El Barajneh refugee camp south of Beirut, Lebanon.

This gathering reflects and enhances our understanding of the refugee population and is a wonderful opportunity to engage in this important topic. Join us as we raise awareness of the benefits of welcoming our neighbors and practicing radical hospitality.

Refreshments will be provided. We hope to see you there! Contact Regan Hill (rhill15@georgefox.edu) for more information.

Please note that, for the next few months, the Canyon Commons building will be closed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. every night unless there is a previously scheduled event (through Event Services). The venue is undergoing some maintenance work, and crews need this time to get the job done.

If you have questions, feel free to contact Jere Witherspoon in the Office of Student Life (503-554-2316).

A group of social work seniors is conducting a study on students’ opinions of their personal safety on campus. If you are a student who attends classes at the Newberg campus, we would appreciate if you took a few minutes to fill out the survey. Students of any age and program are invited to participate.

Thank you for taking the time to participate; we are grateful for the feedback.
