This Friday, Jan. 22, will mark the 37th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, a date which marked an important turning point in American history. There will be a display on the quad in remembrance of those missing from our generation.
Due to overall lack of student interest and participants signed up for this event, ASC Activities Committee has decided to cancel or postpone this event to another date. Whether the event is rescheduled is up to the students. If you feel the event should be continued or you would like to participate, email Sandra Turnbull (sturnbull05@georgefox.edu),
We feel that because of the lack of interest, a better use of ASC funds is necessary. If you have any questions please let an Activities Committee Member know, our goal is to create the best events for you!
