The school year is already flying by and the yearbook is underway! The yearbook staff is working hard to capture each moment of this crazy life that is George Fox University. But we can’t be everywhere!

We are enlisting YOUR help, good and photogenic students–after all, YOU are where the action is. We have created a Facebook page where students are free to upload the photos taken throughout the year. Just “like” the George Fox Yearbook on Facebook, and begin submitting for a chance to get photos in the yearbook (to be released in the spring!).

We want to share your memories! Like the page today!

For more information, please contact Jenna Eliel at jeliel10@georgefox.edu

Are you interested in attending a professional health program after George Fox? Are you pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pre-veterinary, pre-physical therapy, pre-optometry, pre-pharmacy, etc.? Get informed on what it takes to get into a professional health program by attending a pre-professional information meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17, in EHS 125.

The topics covered at the meeting will include admission requirements, the application process, and resources available to you at GFU. This meeting is an annual event, so you may not need to attend if you have done so before. New interested students should plan on it!

If you have any questions, please contact Jane Sweet at jsweet@georgefox.edu or John Schmitt at jschmitt@georgefox.edu. If you are not able to attend, but consider yourself a pre-professional health student, please contact Jane so that you are added to the pre-professional health student contact group.

Do you crave companionship? Unconditional devotion? You need a goldfish! Or a troubling of Goldfish! (I don’t know why a group of goldfish is called a “troubling,” since they are delightful companions.)

Come to the lab (EHS 202) during office hours (7 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and take yours home today. Ziploc travel containers provided for your new friend’s comfort and containment. I’ll meet you by the aquarium if you need help. Adoptions open until all find homes.
