The Daily Bruin

This summer, the university’s physical therapy department is taking a medical service trip to Ghana and Uganda to serve a diverse and less privileged community. To help raise money for the trip, we’re hosting a banquet on Saturday, April 7, at 5 p.m. in Canyon Commons.

Tickets are $25 and include dinner and a silent auction. If you are interested in joining us, please contact Warren Ocano at wocano@georgefox.edu or call 510-468-2056. You may also come by the physical therapy department in the Roberts Center and ask for Warren.

The William Penn Honors Program invites you to hear theologian and ethicist Matthew Kaemingk present a thought-provoking Christian perspective on the growing debates over Muslim presence in the West. Rejecting both fearful nationalism and romantic multiculturalism, Kaemingk makes the case for a third way — a Christian pluralism that is committed to both the historic Christian faith and the public rights, dignity and freedom of Islam.

The lecture is Thursday, April 5, at 7:30 p.m. in Canyon Commons 101-103 and is free and open to the public.

Please send any questions to Jocelyn Stein at jstein@georgefox.edu.

All George Fox students are invited to a panel on the topic of “Loving a Loved One with Mental Illness” on Thursday, April 12, at 7 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Oftentimes the intent is to help, but the impact is the opposite. How can we be helpful and empathetic? Topics to be addressed include self-care boundaries, co-dependency, and understanding the experience of someone with mental illness.

Have questions for the panelists? Fill in this form no later than next Thursday.

Contact Noelle Ho (nho14@georgefox.edu) with questions about the event.
