We have not yet thought of all the ways we could help local communities heal from political polarization, so our disagreements can be the gifts they are meant to be. Come hear from two distinctly different community-building approaches (one in Hillsboro, and another in Sisters, Oregon), and consider how their experiences could inspire active, justice-building civility in your own community.
Join us for the George Fox Civility Project’s “Building Healthy Political Civility in Local Communities: Two Oregon Models,” taking place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. tonight (Monday) in Hoover 105.
Contact Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu for more information.
One of the off-campus program options for George Fox students is the Oregon Extension, deep in the Cascades of Southern Oregon.
It’s a 17-credit fall semester where students live in cabins heated with wood stoves and experience a different way to learn, one course at a time. Everything is designed to work on habits of deep learning and learning without the frenzy.
At the OE, the internet is not a way of life. Instead, there is a big vegetable garden. Chickens, turkeys, milking goats, and cheese-making are part of community life. After intensive periods of study, students get off campus to backpack in rugged mountains, relax at the Oregon Coast, and explore San Francisco.
A professor from the OE will be on campus Tuesday and Wednesday, April 18-19, at a table in Canyon Commons on Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and hosting an info session in Stevens 109 on Wednesday from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Find out more at oregonextension.org.
Credit can be earned in environmental studies, art history, literature, political science, religious studies, history, psychology, biology, sociology, and philosophy.

The panel, “Afflicted: Theological & Medical Perspectives on Pain & Suffering”, will be held in Canyon Commons 101 from 4:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday, April 19.
Participants will be Erika Barber (George Fox University), Brett McCarty (Duke University) and Patrick T. Smith (Duke University). The event will be moderated by Daniel Kang (George Fox University).
