George Fox is dedicated to supporting and honoring the men and women who have served our country. Our community is rich with military experience, including over 125 student veterans, seven veteran faculty members, and over 100 students whose families have sacrificed greatly.
Our veterans represent all branches, ranging in background from a retired U.S. Army colonel to a U.S. Marine Corps lance corporal. We recognize the heavy, real-life costs of their commitment – the missed life events, the physical and mental burdens and the strain on families and marriages. These stories are deeply personal.
In the spirit of our Be Known promise, we encourage everyone to approach our veterans this Veterans Day (Tuesday, Nov. 11) with an attitude of humility and trust. Avoid assumptions about their experiences. Instead, ask respectful questions and be known as someone who recognizes and values the sacrifice they and their loved ones have made.
We are in need of several volunteers to serve as ushers at Midyear Commencement on Saturday, Dec. 13. We will hold two separate ceremonies (undergraduate at 11 a.m. and graduate at 3 p.m.) in Bauman Auditorium. Come help us greet our guests, hand out programs, direct graduates’ families and friends to their seats, and make graduation a special event for everyone!
If interested, check out our Commencement Compensation Guidelines. If you sign up for both ceremonies, lunch will be provided too! Please sign up here to serve our grads and their families on this memorable day!
Contact Laurie Fair at aao@georgefox.edu if you have questions.

Is a new digital divide emerging – not just between those who can and can’t use AI, but between those who trust and distrust each other because of it?
Join us at noon on Wednesday, Nov. 19, for an interactive webinar that explores how AI is reshaping workplace relationships and what it means for trust – among colleagues, teams, and even between humans and machines.
Together, we’ll tackle two key questions:
Don’t miss this opportunity to reflect, engage, and reimagine the future of workplace trust in the age of AI.

In times of polarization, it can be hard to know the truth about controversial issues – even when we live a short drive from a center of visible controversy.
At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12, George Fox students, employees, and Newberg and Dundee community members will gather in Canyon Commons to discuss unrest in major American cities and the deployment of National Guard units there.
Participants will sit at tables with a few others – some of whom they may not know – and will be asked to listen closely enough to summarize another person’s views before sharing their own. The emphasis will be on listening and discovering areas of common ground.
Community Conversations is co-sponsored by Newberg/Dundee United as Neighbors and the George Fox University Civility Project. Everyone is invited to join the conversation. For more information, contact Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu.

Let’s bring the warmth this winter! This year, George Fox students are joining hands with the wood ministry in Newberg – a dedicated team of volunteers who split and deliver free firewood to families in need in our community. They know that, for many of our neighbors, a pile of wood is more than a comfort – it’s a lifeline.
Join us this Saturday, Nov. 8, at 8:30 a.m. at Fernwood Pioneer Cemetery to help out. Here’s the schedule:
Our goal is to raise $3,000 to cover the essential costs of delivering firewood to our neighbors in need.
You can help by joining us for the event and bringing your friends, your volunteer spirit, and your heart for community. If you can’t make it, consider giving a donation online – any amount helps lighten someone’s winter. Finally, help spread the word to raise awareness for this ministry.
