Come visit our Career Services cart out in the quad tomorrow, Wednesday, April 3, to learn more and register for our First Avenue Career Expo! We’ll be there throughout the day.
Come see how the fields of biology, computer science and math come together through exciting new technologies.
Dr. Joseph Gonzales, a senior field applications scientist with Illumina Inc., will give a talk on Wednesday, April 3, at 3:30 p.m. in EHS 102 about Illumnica technologies, and specifically, how they relate to the field of genomics.
The lecture title is “Microarray and Next-Gen Sequencing Technologies: The Genomics Era.” Joseph graduated from George Fox as a math major and biology minor. He went on to get his PhD at the University of Notre Dame.
Illumina develops and manufactures technology that allows researchers to gather, process, and analyze genetic information that can be used to study the cases of disease. If you have any questions, please contact Heather Ayala (hayala@georgefox.edu) in the Department of Biology and Chemistry.
Come kick off the weekend with a fun Friday night celebration filled with music, food and community. Several George Fox students will perform as Hillside Church in Newberg puts on a benefit fundraiser for an orphanage in Haiti that we hope to support with funds, supplies, and a team of people in the summer.
Bring friends and family to celebrate and be a part of something so much bigger than we can even comprehend. The concert is this Friday, April 5, at 8 p.m. at the church, located at 611 N. Main St.
