The university community is invited to a Faculty Research Forum featuring Kelly Chang, assistant professor of psychology, from 10:40 to 11:30 a.m. Friday, Feb. 19, in Hoover 105 on the Newberg campus.

In May 2009, Chang and a team of George Fox students worked with at-risk young girls living on a landfill in Nicaragua. She will speak of this experience and her ongoing work with the in-country organization.

There is still a need for people on the L’Ami (yearbook) staff. If you enjoy journalism, interviewing, writing, or just getting to know people, please come by the communications office and pick up an application. The yearbook is a great way to find out about the people and activities around you. If you want to get an idea of what opportunities there are at Fox, being on the yearbook staff gives you a great inside look.

Faculty and staff, please encourage students to explore this opportunity.

Contact Hannah Wilcox with questions, comments or concerns.

Thank you,
Hannah Wilcox

This coming Friday and Saturday, Feb. 12-13, more than 450 high school students and parents will join us for lunch due to the scholarship competitions taking place. They will all be eating lunch at 11:40 a.m. on Friday and noon on Saturday. So, we’d like to ask as many of our regular students not to come for lunch until after 12:30 p.m. on Friday if at all possible in order to avoid most of the crowds. On Saturday, if possible, please arrive and leave before noon or come after 1 p.m.

In order to accommodate these visitors as well as our regular students, we also will be serving meals on disposables and will be encouraging George Fox students to take their meals out of the dining room if possible so that we have room for our visitors. The Cap and Gown Room will be available for overflow dining on Saturday only (a health fair will be held there on Friday).

Thanks for your help, and let’s all work to make this a good experience for our visitors.
