If you have not completed the Housing Selection Form you have until 5 p.m. today to do so.

Just login to the Housing Form and then click on the “Housing Group Signups” link on the left side. This will take you to the page where you can find your housing code. One person from each group will then fill out the remainder of the form using codes from the other individuals in the group. Once housing codes have been entered and roommate choices confirmed you will be asked to rank the order of your housing preferences.

If you are not part of a group you can still go through the housing process as an individual. In this case, rather than being placed by your credit ranking, we will work with you to identify a suitable spot in campus housing.

For additional information about housing selection please refer to the Housing and Residence Life website. If you have questions please stop by or call the Student Life Office (ext. 2310) or email housing@georgefox.edu.

To make check-out in April faster, easier, and less stressful take as much stuff home as possible!

Thanks!

Our last Peace and Justice Symposium of the year will feature Roger and Sue Newell this Thursday, March 22. Those of you who have attended our symposiums before know this to be a wonderful time to dialogue and build a deeper understanding of what peace and justice looks like in practice both locally and globally through stories shared by George Fox faculty, staff and administrators.

Thursday’s symposium, titled “Journeys: South Africa, Social Justice, Sabbath,” will feature Sue, an assistant professor of social work, and Roger, a professor of religious studies. The event is free and open to the public.

This past summer, Roger and Sue traveled to South Africa to teach summer school at the College of the Transfiguration, a theological college in Grahamstown that trains pastors for ministry in the Anglican church of South Africa. From there, they traveled to Capetown, where Sue helped coordinate international placements for George Fox students at Cornerstone University. Their talks will reflect on their conversations last summer.

Please join us at 7:15 p.m. in the Quaker Heritage Room (upstairs library). Refreshments will be provided. Spiritual life credit is offered for students.

Questions? Contact Melanie Newell at ext. 2686 or mnewell@georgefox.edu.

The lecture will examine three seemingly incongruous messages within their socio-historical contexts, depicting a theology of wealth and poverty that is complex, challenging, and relevant to Christian communities.

The entire George Fox community is invited to this lecture, hosted by the Faculty Development Committee. Light refreshments are included.
