The Daily Bruin

Little Bruin Applications are due Friday, Sept. 23, by 5 p.m. in the Christian Services office in the SUB! If you are interested in the program and can’t get your application turned in by then, just send me an e-mail and we can figure something out! You can also mail the application to campus Box #5486.

If you haven’t heard about Little Bruins, it is it is similar to a Big Brother/Big Sister program. It matches a George Fox student with a student of a local elementary or middle school. Students spend one hour each week with their Little Bruin. Many of the children we are reaching come from homes that are a mess; they are struggling with academics, making friends and having someone they can count on. They desperately need the consistency of an adult who believes in them.

If this is on your heart, please apply to be a Big Bruin!
