Survey: Native American/Indigenous Resilience

Sunday, March 27th, 2022

We are conducting a PsyD dissertation research project, “Resilience and Cultural Connectiveness within the Native American/Indigenous Population,” and would appreciate your feedback. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete our survey.

We are looking for participants with any Native American/American Indian Indigenous heritage. The purpose of this research is to show how resilience/strength, cultural identity, spiritual identity, and cultural connectiveness are reflected within the Indigenous population.

At the end of the survey is the option to enter a raffle (rewards include three $100 Visa gift cards) as a thank you. We have received IRB approval through George Fox, and as a tribal partnership project we place an emphasis on participant safety and a culturally humble approach to Indigenous research.

Thank you for considering participation in our research. If you have any questions, concerns or feedback, please feel free to contact Winston Seegobin at wseegobin@georgefox.edu or Lindsay Price at lprice18@georgefox.edu.

Reminder about the difference between recycling and trash bins on campus

Thursday, March 17th, 2022

The bins with yellow lids on campus are for recycling only. Please avoid placing trash in the recycling bins. Bins designated for garbage have black lids.

If a garbage bin is already full, please place your trash in a different garbage bin in order to avoid overflowing the bin. Do not place trash on the ground by the bin, as the service driver will not pick up anything outside of a bin.

Following these guidelines will ensure that the recycling gets recycled and that the trash bins are not avoided by the waste company. Thank you!
