The last two sessions of Career Services’ May Daze job search series are scheduled Tuesday, May 25, and Thursday, May 27, at 4 p.m. in the Career Center, Stevens 220. The sessions will be “Navigating an Unwelcoming Job Market: Finding the Jobs” and “Networking: Establishing a Presence Online and In-Person.”

The ethical implications of consumer behavior will be the topic of a School of Business speaker series event Friday, June 11, at The Grand Hotel at Bridgeport, located off Interstate-5 at the Durham Exit in Tualatin.

Justine Haigh, an associate professor of marketing at George Fox, will present “Beyond corporate social responsibility: What about the consumer?” The session will run from 7 to 9 a.m. and include a continental breakfast at a cost of $20 per person. Registration information is available on the School of Business website. Attendees are asked to R.S.V.P. by Friday, June 4.

Following is Haigh’s synopsis of the event: “We seem to enjoy finger pointing, blogging, and tweeting about unruly organizations and their failure to adhere to the law, ethical standards, and/or international norms. Caught up in these debates, however, we seldom reflect on our own consumption patterns. We will explore ethical principles of global consumers, but more importantly, local Portlanders’ perspectives will be considered in an attempt to gauge our commitment to the social good.”

A boys basketball mini-camp is scheduled in Miller Gymnasium Monday through Thursday, May 24-27, between 5 and 7 p.m. Camp is for grades 2-5 and the cost is $60 (or, for those in the George Fox family, $60 for two participants). The fee includes a T-shirt and eight hours of instruction.

Are you looking for a great sports camp for you or your kids this summer? Visit gfubruins.com and click the “Sports Camps” link. The university is offering tennis, baseball, basketball and volleyball camps this summer. It’s a wonderful opportunity for skill building in a safe and nurturing atmosphere.

The university community is invited to hear Paul Anderson (Religious Studies) and Marcus Borg engage in a public dialogue on the origin and development of the Gospels this Saturday, May 22, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Reedwood Friends Church, 2901 S.E. Steele, in Portland.

This engagement is potentially historic, as the Fourth Gospel (John) has for nearly two centuries been excluded from historical Jesus studies for the first three quests for Jesus. Anderson, as founding co-chair of the John, Jesus, and History Project (SBL, now in its ninth year), is calling for a fourth quest for Jesus – one that includes John in the mix.

Borg is a biblical scholar and author. He is a fellow of the Jesus Seminar and holds a doctor of philosophy degree from Oxford University.

The lecture is free and open to the public; early seating is advised.
