Make plans to join us for the university’s Fall Faculty Lecture, “Cancer Wars: A New Hope,†presented by Dr. John Schmitt from our biology department, at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22, in Hoover 105.
Cancer claims the lives of nearly 8 million people worldwide annually, with breast and prostate cancer deaths totaling more that 500,000 each year. To borrow a metaphor from his favorite movie, Star Wars, Dr. Schmitt has joined the scientific fight against cancer, a.k.a. the “evil Death Star.†His research focuses on the cell, biochemical and molecular events that control, regulate or participate in cancer.
About the Lecture
In his lecture, Dr. Schmitt will highlight recent discoveries from his laboratory. Among the questions he will address are “Which hormones promote breast and prostate cancer growth and metastasis?,†“What are CaM Kinases and why are they important?,†What role might Vitamin D play in blocking cancer growth?†and “How do we generate hope for people who are battling cancer?â€
Prior to the lecture, George Fox Richter Scholars will present their work in a Richter Scholar Symposium at 5 p.m. in the Hoover lobby. The Richter Scholars program enables undergraduate and graduate students to receive funding for independent research projects conducted with a faculty mentor.
About Dr. Schmitt
Schmitt, awarded the Holman Professor of Biology at George Fox in 2012, holds a PhD in cell and developmental biology from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). A committed mentor and scholar, he has received numerous research grants, produced nearly 50 publications, and holds a United States patent.
Nominated for both the university’s Teacher of the Year and the United States Professor of the Year awards, Dr. Schmitt was honored as Undergraduate Researcher of the Year at George Fox in 2013. He is the recipient of numerous grants, including two from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, to purchase vital equipment and supplies, provide student stipends, and support his cancer research goals.

The campus community is invited to an international chapel this morning (Friday) from 10:40 to 11:30 a.m. in the International Center/Cultural House. Our speaker this week is Ted Yuen, who will share about the influence of God in his family’s life beginning with his grandmother in China.
You are welcome to join us for worship, a devotional and prayer. International chapel is designed to help us better understand what it means to be a Christian.
On Saturday, Oct. 19, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., residence life will sponsor a women’s self-defense workshop. It will be taught by a second-degree black belt and Newberg-Dundee Police Department reservist who has been conducting these workshops at George Fox since 2007.
The workshop will be conducted on the Newberg campus and cost $25 per person (regularly it costs $50 for community members). Many students, faculty and staff have taken the workshop and have found it valuable for their confidence (and, many would say, kind of fun).
Even if you have physical challenges, the instructor will work with you to modify techniques, etc. Registration is in the student life office in the Stevens Center. We will register up to 20 women and then start a waiting list.
Questions? Contact David Johnstone at djohnsto@georgefox.edu.

Irving will present “Perspectives on the Christian Piece(s) of the Global Puzzle,” in which she will discuss the role of Christianity and the place of Christians in the world.
