In coordination with Sexual Assault Awareness Month, George Fox’s CARE Team invites the George Fox community (faculty, staff, students) to design a one-color poster to be silkscreen-printed on the quad on Wednesday, April 1.

Designers can choose what kind of imagery they want to use to convey the message “Speak Up,” but remember: To be printed, the design can only use one color. Think about designing your image with nothing more than a Sharpie and a white piece of paper!

Contest winners will receive an Amazon gift card (first place: $100; second place: $50; third place: $25). Submissions are due today (Tuesday) by 11:30 p.m., and winners will be announced on Friday, March 20.

Participants can learn more on the submissions page.

Chronic pain is often an invisible and vastly misunderstood condition, and we’re hoping to change that. We are students of Arielle Hodges in her Health Communication course, and our main goal is to create a health campaign that increases awareness of the topic of chronic pain and reduces the stigma associated with it. To accomplish this goal, we need your help!

We would greatly appreciate your participation by filling out this quick five-minute online survey regarding your understanding of, experiences with, and strategies for approaching chronic pain.

Through these surveys, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of the perceptions that George Fox students have regarding chronic pain.
