The Daily Bruin

Networking is the best way to find a job or an internship. So, please be sure to stop by Rooms 101, 102 and 103 in Canyon Commons on Wednesday, Feb. 15, to talk with a variety of employers who will be on campus for our Spring Career Fair.

This is open to all majors, so everyone should stop by for a few minutes to talk with these folks. They will have internship and employment opportunities waiting for you. Bring your resume if you’d like. The fair is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Feel free to contact Wade Witherspoon at wwitherspoon@georgefox.edu with any questions.

Mail Services will be closed this Friday, Feb. 10, for the mid-semester holiday, and there will be no courier services. Mail Services will be open on Monday, Feb. 13.

If indeed “Christ has come to teach his people, himself,” as George Fox declared, come join us for Contemplative Worship after the manner of Friends, as we seek to attend, discern and embrace the Living Word of Christ within.

We’ll meet tomorrow (Wednesday) from 2:15 to 2:45 p.m. in Hoover 250. Spiritual life credit is available for undergraduate students.

Contact Paul Anderson at panderso@georgefox.edu for more information.

We are inviting veteran employees, faculty, staff and club members to join us for our Veterans Prayer Breakfast on Monday, March 6, from 8 to 10 a.m. in Canyon Commons.

Join Quaker warriors in honoring and praying for each other. The National Anthem will be preformed live by Christian Pond of The Boondock Boys band. We will have several guest speakers, opening prayer and a time to eat and have fellowship. Please join us!

Come listen to the Reiten Lecture, hosted by the College of Business, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 16, in Hoover 105.

Sabrina Bailey, a George Fox alumna and executive at the London Stock Exchange Group, will visit to discuss leadership in an entirely new way, talking about how success is built, in her lecture “Can’t Touch This: Investing in Success Factors No One Can Take Away.”

Unlike many presentations you may have heard on management style, career ladders, goal setting and key performance indicators, Bailey will “peel back the onion” to illuminate unchanging, fundamental factors that secure an unshakable foundation for success. You won’t want to miss it!

Refreshments and a social hour will follow after the talk.

Contact Wendi Upjohn at wupjohn@georgefox.edu for more information or if you have questions.

Did you know the typical Oregon household uses 922 kWh per month? That equates to around $125 per month!

A single LED light bulb consumes 12.2 kWh a month ($1.71 per bulb). How many lightbulbs do you have in your home? Electricity costs more than you realize; save big by turning off unused lights!

University staff on Friday became aware that over a week ago someone anonymously left vulgar and highly offensive messages on a whiteboard in a campus classroom. We want to remind our community that language and/or behavior that relies on negative stereotypes or is demeaning toward individuals or groups is absolutely unacceptable for George Fox students and employees, whether it occurs in person, through social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) or anonymously.

Violations of these expectations are taken very seriously by the university, especially when directed at another because of their race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, or disabilities. We want to remind everyone that George Fox has harassment, discrimination, and bias-related incident policies that can be viewed here.

Any incidents of harassment, discrimination or bias should be reported immediately to the student life office. We would also encourage community members to hold one another accountable for what we say and do in this important area.
