College teachers will expect your papers to contain creative ideas and deep insights, but they also expect them to be presented in an easy-to-follow format. This session will cover two keys to successful college writing: a clear thesis that unifies the paper and a structure that supports and clarifies that thesis. A checklist will be presented that allows you to evaluate your own paper before turning it in to your teacher.
Wednesday, September 15th at 6:30 PM in Stevens 208

The Center for Peace and Justice is sponsoring a visit to the community open house at Bilal Masjid Mosque in Beaverton this Sunday, Sept. 12, in remembrance of the events of 9/11/2001. We will be leaving from the Stevens Center parking lot at 10:30 a.m.
We are coming alongside one of our senior students, Lindley King, who originally voiced the idea of a George Fox visit after hearing the president of the Bilal Mosque speak at Senior Capstone on Monday. Please R.S.V.P. to peaceandjustice@georgefox.edu if you are interested in coming with us. Let us know if you are able to drive and take other students who will need rides or if you are someone who will need a ride.

The university community is invited to a series of recitals performed by Kenn Willson (Performing Arts). Kenn will perform the music from his “Encounters with Beethoven” concert in order to make a recording on the university’s Imperial Bösendorfer piano.
Beginning this Monday, Sept. 13, he will play Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, Sonata Op. 31 #3 and the Ecossaises Dances for three consecutive weeks (Sept. 13, 20 and 27). Each performance begins at 7:30 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium. Admission is free.
Audience members are invited to attend one, two or all three three performances, and at the end of each they will get to vote on the movement(s) they liked best from that evening’s performance. All the votes will be taken into consideration in the production of Kenn’s first piano solo CD. Those who attend any of the recitals also will be able to purchase the final CD at a reduced price.
Please remember that meal plan students are required to have their ID cards with them everytime they come to the dining room for meals. Â This allows us to properly account for all the meals we serve.
Historically we’ve provided a “free pass” by issuing a 1 meal voucher for students who have forgotten their cards. Â But, because we’ve had an overwhelming number of students over the past week not bringing their cards and several students claiming to be on a meal plan who are not being issued a voucher, effective next Monday, September 13th, all students not bringing their ID cards to meals will be asked to return to their rooms to get their cards before being allowed entrance to the dining room.
Thank you for understanding and please contact me if you have any questions.
