Peer2Peer is a new program that has just started last year. The program consists of a mentoring partnership between incoming underrepresented students and returning students. Approaching a new year, the program is offering internships for two major positions: P2P Coordinator and Mentors. The coordinator is responsible for leading the mentors (about 10), and the mentors are responsible for helping mentees.
If you are interested in applying, please do so before Friday, Feb.3. P2P is a program that is linked with the multicultural department, so it represents diversity.
If you have any questions or want more information, please contact Jacquelyn, present coordinator, at jgarcia10@georgefox.edu or Shelley Yonemura, director of multicultural student programs.
Applications available on Bruin Careers and the MSP website.
Thank you,

Synopsis
Directed by Rhett Luedtke with the assistance of  Maggie Daane (musical director) and Richard Elliott (conductor), She Loves Me tells the story of Georg Nowack, whose life as head clerk in Maraczek’s Parfumerie is relatively peaceful until Amalia Balash is hired. While Georg and Amalia clash at work, each of them finds solace writing love letters to their anonymous romantic pen pals in the evening. When Georg discovers that his pen pal is none other than Amalia, he faces
a crisis of heart. Will his love for his pen pal prevail? Or will his disgust of his co-worker triumph?
She Loves Me is based on the book by Joe Masterhoff. The music was written by Jerry Bock (music) and Sheldon Harnick (lyrics), the duo who co-wrote Fiddler on the Roof.
