Make connections in the business department at next Tuesday’s Slides Night

Monday, October 9th, 2023

Looking for a place to connect with other business students and have some fun?

The George Fox Business Club will be hosting its first student-led, on-campus gathering in Stevens 207 on Tuesday, Oct. 17, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Come join us for Slides Night! This is a chance to connect with students across all of the business majors, enjoy some caramel corn, and exercise your creative and comedic skills in a marketing activity open to all.

For Slides Night, we’ll share a little about the Business Club and give you some time to get to know other students in small groups. Then, we’ll present everyone with a prompt / problem to solve and give your small group about 20 minutes to come up with the most creative, effective, or goofy solution to the prompt and “market” it to the rest of us with a couple of presentation slides.

What do you need to bring? Bring yourself and a laptop (we’ll even give you a free Business Club sticker to put on it!)

Not a business student, but interested in joining us? Come see what we’re about!

Please RSVP at this link.

Connect with the Business Club’s president, Peter Nordlund, at pnordlund20@georgefox.edu.
