A group of students partnering with the International Justice Mission chapter on campus is protesting at a club in Portland Friday night (Sept. 17). The club is promoting a “School Girls Night” and does not understand the correlation between such a term and sex-trafficking of children. We are going to peacefully protest and communicate that this is an issue we feel affects a huge population of people, specifically in Portland.

If you have questions, please e-mail or call Lisby Rogers at erogers07@georgefox.edu or ext. 3223.

The more people we have, the greater impact we can have, so please join us. We’ll meet in the Le Shana lobby at 4:30 p.m.

The university community is invited to a Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture this Monday, Sept. 20. Grant Farr, professor and associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Science at Portland State University, will speak on “The ‘Muslim Community'” from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m. and from 7 to 8 p.m. in Hoover 105. Those interested are encouraged to attend the later session for space reasons.

The session is the latest in a series of fall presentations on the topic “Islam and the West.” The series will continue each Monday during fall semester and will not simply be about academic principles, theoretical challenges, or questions for debate. Rather, it is designed to help people with honest questions get information that will help them understand the current controversies surrounding Islam.

Questions? Contact Caitlin Corning at ccorning@georgefox.edu or ext. 2673, or Elizabeth Todd at detodd@georgefox.edu or ext. 2648.
