In an era of deep political division, heated rhetoric, and rising political violence, what does it mean to seek common ground? Join our Oregon House majority and minority leaders for a timely and essential conversation on the state of civility in politics on Tuesday, Oct 7, at 6:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.
The representatives will discuss their experiences, the challenges of legislating across the aisle, and whether a more respectful and productive political discourse is possible. This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from key decision-makers about how we can navigate our differences and find a better path forward for Oregon.
Reach out to Ron Mock at rmock@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

Interested in participating in a study to examine the impact of weight loading on burning calories? Using weighted vests while walking or running, also known as rucking, has become a popular trend.
We are conducting a research study to test the benefits of rucking and to understand how much weight needs to be used to significantly impact oxygen consumption and energy expenditure.
We are looking for non-athlete George Fox students who exercise regularly and are not frequent users of weighted vests. If you are interested, please fill out this form and contact one of the researchers listed.
Researchers:
We are looking for participants ages 18 to 35 for our kinesiology senior research study! This study’s purpose is to research the effects of weighted vest training on recreational runners’ 5K performance.
If you would like a structured running program for the next six to eight weeks, this study is for you. This is a great opportunity to challenge yourself, be part of new research for an increasingly popular training tool, and gain insight into your own running performance!
Please contact Abigail Todd at atodd22@georgefox.edu for more information.

The George Fox theatre department invites you to see its fall 2025 production, Havurah, presented through the Big Bridge Theatre Consortium.
Written by Margot Connolly and directed by Ben Tissell, the play tells the story of life at Crosby College, a small liberal arts university, where two student clubs strive for connection and comfort in difficult times.
When a tragedy occurs in the local Jewish community, members of the Havurah club are left reeling. The Christian social justice club wants to help, but struggles to know how. Deeply relevant and strikingly realistic, Havurah depicts the complexities and possibilities of connecting with others in times of grief.
The show opens on Thursday, Oct. 23, and closes on Nov. 2. Evening shows start at 7:30 p.m., and weekend matinees start at 2 p.m. Employees are entitled to one complimentary ticket, and students may attend free on either Thursday. You may reserve tickets here.
Please join us at 8 p.m. tonight (Wednesday) in front of the chapel to celebrate with several students who are being baptized as they publicly commit to following Jesus!

We have an open calendar right now, but spots can fill up fast. Schedule your appointment today!
