The Daily Bruin

One of the off-campus program options for George Fox students is the Oregon Extension, deep in the Cascades of Southern Oregon.

A professor from the program will be on campus today and tomorrow, at a table in Canyon Commons today (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.

In this 17-credit fall semester program, 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. You can find out more at oregonextension.org.

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.

Credit can be earned in environmental studies, art history, literature, political science, religious studies, history, psychology, biology, sociology, and philosophy.

Contact Lynn Scott at lscott@georgefox.edu with any questions about the OE visit.

Do you like showing others ways to be a more effective and efficient student? Would you like to help first-year students – and some returning students – with learning, study, success strategies, and general tutoring? Do you have a GPA above 3.0?

If you answered yes to these questions, you might have a future as a Study Table tutor. We are interested in students from any major! Apply soon; the process will be open until positions are filled.

See the Study Table Tutor position description for an overview and for application instructions. The position is also posted on Handshake.

The Spring Awards Convocation Chapel is tomorrow (Tuesday)! Join us in Bauman Auditorium at 10:50 a.m. to worship together and celebrate at this final chapel of the year.

The winners of the Faculty Achievement Awards for Undergraduate Teaching and Undergraduate Research & Scholarship will be announced, and Provost Andrea Scott will give a special year-end message to our students and graduates.

We’ll also hear from our student music ensemble, and professor Aaron Barnhart will lead us in worship. Don’t miss it!

Campus Public Safety will be conducting its annual bicycle roundup starting Wednesday, May 3.

Here are the details:

• At the end of spring semester, a university-wide bicycle cleanup is conducted. Bikes that are illegally parked, unregistered or inoperable will be impounded. Bicycle racks need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the bike racks and surrounding areas.
• Bicycles may not be stored on campus during the summer semester. Claims for impounded bikes may be made at the CPS office.
• If you are staying on campus over the summer and plan to keep a bike here, please stop by Campus Public Safety to get a sticker ID. Move your bike to the rack that is closest to your summer housing.
• Impounded bicycles will be kept at CPS for 60 days and then donated to local charities at the discretion of the Campus Public Safety office. Junk bikes will be recycled.

Is there someone at George Fox who has made a difference in your college experience? Someone who ignited a spark that made you want to learn more than you thought you could, someone who walked alongside you during a difficult season, or a person who has been a mentor?

Take a moment to write an email, e-card, or traditional “thank you” card to that professor, RA, tutor, supervisor, or other influential person. Try to be specific as you describe how this person has contributed to your life. Students in Newberg can stop by the Academic Resource Center (ARC) to pick up a blank card.
