It’s time again to join with your fellow students and living area chaplains for worship and community. Below are the locations of your chapel per living area on Wednesday, March 21.
Dr. Roger Nam, the university’s 2010-11 Graduate Faculty Researcher of the year, will present a faculty lecture, titled “When Amos Meets Jabez: Towards a Biblical Theology of Wealth,” this evening (Tuesday) beginning at 7:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.
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.

To be eligible to participate in selection, you will need to have your $150 Housing Deposit paid in Student Financial Services on the first floor of Stevens. Students have until March 22 to pay this and still participate in housing selection.
To sign up for housing with your group, simply login to the form here and then click on the “Housing Group Signup†link on the left side. One person from each group will fill out the remainder of the Housing Form with the housing codes for the entire group. There are step-by-step directions in the form that will walk you through the following:
If you do not have a group to sign up with, you can go through the housing process as an individual. In this case, rather than placing you according to your credit ranking, we will work with you to identify a suitable spot to live.
If you would like help with filling out the Housing Form, there is a computer set up in the student life office. Please stop by and one of the housing staff will help answer your questions as you go.
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 e-mail housing@georgefox.edu.

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.
