The university community is invited to a book launch party for English Professor Melanie Mock’s new book, Finding Our Way Forward: When the Children We Love Become Adults (Herald Press).

The event will take place at 7 p.m. tomorrow (Friday) at the Chehalem Cultural Center (415 E. Sheridan St.). In the book, the author reflects on the work to which we are called as parents and mentors to young people, recognizing that this current generation has much to teach us about empathy, humility, kindness, and justice.

All are welcome! Contact Melanie at mmock@georgefox.edu with any questions.

The university’s Department of Mathematics is hosting the annual Pacific Northwest Section Meeting of the Mathematical Association of America in mid-March.

As part of the event, we invite everyone to the opening lecture, “Geometry of the Earth and Universe with The Simpsons and Futurama,” by Dr. Sarah Greenwald, professor of mathematics at Appalachian State University, at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 17, in Canyon Commons. The event is free and geared toward students and the public.

Did you know that the animated shows The Simpsons and Futurama contain hundreds of humorous mathematical and scientific references? A few of these references connect to the geometry of spaces, and we’ll use them to explore some historical and current theories relating to the earth and universe during an interactive talk.

Popular culture can reveal, reflect and even shape how society views mathematics, and with careful consideration of the benefits and challenges, these programs can be an ideal source of fun ways to introduce important concepts and to reduce math anxiety (see SimpsonsMath.com).

For more information, visit the event website or contact Corban Harwood at rharwood@georgefox.edu.

The Apologetics Initiative and the C. S. Lewis Initiative invite you to a special presentation by Dr. Paul Lorenzini’s, “C.S. Lewis’s The Abolition of Man Eighty Years Later: An Engineer’s Perspective,” at 5 p.m. on Monday, March 13, in Hoover 103.

Eighty years ago, Lewis published his most highly regarded book, The Abolition of Man, in which he critiques the secularization of Western cultures and warns that, unchecked, the consequences for modern humanity are significant and destructive.

By comparing Lewis’s projections with modern cultural critiques, Dr. Lorenzini asks how a revived view of Lewis’s analysis might inform a modern apologetic. All are welcome to join us for this thought-provoking presentation.

Please reach out to Emma Rieth at erieth@georgefox.edu with any questions.
