If you missed the opportunity to make a card for a female on campus, or just want to make some more, please stop by student life on the third floor of Stevens and pick up a free card to send.

Encouragement should not be limited – and neither are the cards. Take as many as you like. Send an encouraging message to a friend, professor, or other female faculty member.

For a second straight year, the university will honor the memory of Cesar Chavez by hosting a panel discussion, “Cesar Chavez and Peaceful Community Advocacy Movements,” from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 20, in EHS 125.

The event, sponsored by the Office of Transitions and Inclusion and the Center for Peace and Justice, will feature a panel that includes local professors and community advocates. They will discuss grass roots organizing, worker’s rights, structural economics, factors leading to and perpetuating forms of marginalization, and teaching for empowerment, among other issues.

Among those expected to participate is Joseph Orosco, professor of philosophy and director of the Peace Studies Program at Oregon State University; Tom Hastings, who teaches in Portland State University’s conflict resolution master’s program; Romeo Sosa and Pedro Sosa from VOZ Workers’ Rights Education Project; and Andy Coulombe, a George Fox alumnus who works with Latino/Latina populations in running Jubilee Food Pantry and Public Community Gardening efforts in Hubbard, Ore. The evening also will include a poetry reading by longtime English professor Ed Higgins.

Research papers require proper citation of sources and creation of a reference list or bibliography. Several tools are available to help manage the process of documentation, make notes from your sources, or even import articles and web-based sources. Knowing about these tools can simplify your research process, whether you’re an undergraduate, on your way to graduate school, or are in graduate school.

Rick Muthiah, dean of learning support services, will introduce bibliographic management software and will share examples of some free applications at an Academic Resource Center-sponsored workshop, “Sources, Citations, and References, Oh My! A Look at Bibliographic Management Tools.”

On Feb 24, someone on campus brought a book into Mail Services and paid to have it sent via U.S. Mail. However, they did not have an address for the recipient at the time. They indicated they would be back later with the address. The book is Authentic Communication by Tim Muehlhoff and Todd V Lewis. The person never returned with the address and the book is still in Mail Services.

If you are the person that left the book to be mailed, please contact Linda Sartwell at ext. 2560 or Sherrie Frost at ext. 2556.

Thank you.
