All are invited to the Fall 2018 Faculty Lecture on Tuesday, Oct. 16, at 6 p.m. in Hoover 105. Our featured speaker will be Professor of Music Brent Weaver, recipient of the 2017-18 Faculty Achievement Award for Graduate Research and Scholarship.
Brent will examine the underlying cognitive structures that our brains perceive, which contribute to our emotional and spiritual enjoyment of music. He will show how a composer can play with those structures to move listeners, using examples from many styles of music.
Come early, between 5 and 6 p.m., and check out the work of our Richter student scholars at a symposium in the Hoover lobby. George Fox students will present their research projects in a conversational poster format.
Both events are sponsored by the Faculty Development Committee. Refreshments will be served.

There are several reserved parking spaces around campus that are indicated by signage. These spots are ONLY for staff working in those departments – not other staff or student employees. Loading zones are exactly that – just for unloading – and then they must be vacated.
This also applies to the three 10-minute spots in front of Mail Services. They are only for mail pick-ups, not for parking for a class. Other reserved spots are clearly marked around campus for area coordinators who live in various dorms and houses as well as plant services staff who need their reserved spots for their service vehicles.
There is no student parking on Carlton Way (in between the Edwards dorm and Mail Services), as that is staff-only parking. We’ve also seen students and staff parking in visitor rows in the Stevens and Roberts Center lots. These need to be kept clear for our numerous visitors to campus.
Ticket prices begin at $25 for parking in a reserved spot and go up for each succeeding infraction, so please save your money and park ONLY where your permit allows!
Contact Nadine Kincaid (nkincaid@georgefox.edu) with any questions.
