The Athletic Recruiting & Marketing Group urgently needs students to fill three workstudy roles in digital media, sports journalism and event planning.

The student filling the digital media role will be responsible for crafting a proactive social media content calendar for Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This student will also photograph athletes, conduct interviews with athletes/coaches, and design promotional content that can be used in marketing efforts.

The student doing sports journalism will be responsible for crafting proactive stories (separate from game-centric stories) that add color to the Bruin athletics brand and give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the teams, players and coaches they love to cheer for.

The student working on event planning will help plan the events surrounding the launch of football next year, including the game-day experience, tailgating, corporate sponsorships as well as fan-experience programs for other sports teams.

Please see Bruin Careers for more information about each role and application instructions.

For more information, please contact Sarah Reid at sreid@georgefox.edu.

Got jeans? During the next few weeks, the university’s Lip Sync winners, The Campbells, will host “Jeans for Teens,” a jean donation drive for homeless youth. The drive is set for Jan. 27 through Feb. 15.

This is an opportunity to compete against other schools around the nation for a top prize of $10,000. The goal of the charity is to accumulate as many unworn, unused and unneeded pairs of jeans as possible. We’ll have a table set up in the Bruin Den Monday through Friday from noon to 2 p.m. If that doesn’t work for your schedule, you can put your donation in a bin that will be set up in the Bruin Den.

Join us for the first Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture of the semester this Monday, Jan. 27, when Steve Sherwood, assistant professor for youth evangelism and discipleship here at George Fox, speaks from 7 to 8 p.m. in Hoover 105. The presentation ties into our theme “State of the World.”

Sherwood will speak on the topic “Why Can’t We Talk to Each Other?,” in which he will address the fact that, in politics, churches, on Internet message boards and beyond, Americans are increasingly yelling past one another rather than talking with each other. What can be done about it? What is a Christian vision of discourse in America?

The same session is presented from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m.; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.

Questions? Contact Paul Otto at ext. 2676 or potto@georgefox.edu.
