The Daily Bruin

We are a group of exercise science students doing an anonymous study about muscular performance and the period cycle, because we want to know if muscular performance changes over the course of the menstrual cycle. If you get your period between now and the 10th of April we would love for you to be a part of our study.

You will be asked to do three tests – a bench press, leg press, and push-ups (you can choose to do it from your knees or toes). There will be at least two sessions (no more than three). A session will take about 45 minutes, and we will coordinate with you to find the right time to do the tests.

You do not need to be an athlete or a super fit person because we are looking at the changes over the course of your period. It’s OK if you are not familiar with the gym or exercises because we will be there with you to walk you through them and answer your questions.

We accept anyone who menstruates (if you are taking hormonal contraceptives, you can still participate) and if you think you are going to be on your period during spring break and are within 45 minutes of Newberg.

If you are willing to participate, please contact Val Gabriychuk at gabriychukv19@georgefox.edu or Sarah Julian at sjulian19@georgefox.edu.

In partnership with George Fox Digital, film professor Alexander Chung is creating a series of video Lent reflections on repentance and suffering. They will be hosted on the George Fox Digital YouTube channel and released each Friday morning through Good Friday.

Visit this link for this week’s video, out now, and go here for the YouTube playlist with all reflections. You can also subscribe to the GFD YouTube channel to see all updates, and be sure to watch The Daily Bruin each Friday for links to the Lent content.

If you have not yet chosen a Lent reflection practice, make this your weekly devotion each Friday!

Do you and your family live in Newberg and want to get more connected with the community? Have we got the event for you!

A group of George Fox students are hosting a Family Game Night at Northwest Christian Church on Friday, April 14, from 6 to 9 p.m. for local families with children. We want to inspire community unity with an opportunity for fun and free food, so games and pizza will be provided. 

Our mission is to give local families an affordable opportunity to forge new connections between each other at an event sponsored by, partnered with, and provided by the donations of local businesses in the hopes of fostering a culture of connection and lasting bonds between families.

We would love to hear your feedback and what you think would makes this event a success. Let us know in this survey how we can make this event meaningful to you and your family.

If you have any questions, reach out to Nathan Marchand, at nmarchand19@georgefox.edu, or Olivia Jacobsen, at ojacobsen20@georgefox.edu.
