Join the Multicultural Club! All students are invited to participate.Â
This year we have a mission: “Expanding Our Boundaries Together.”
We want you all to know that Multiculturalism is not limited to, nor defined by things that are skin deep; we believe that culture encompasses all of who we are (i.e., style of music, attire, enjoyed activities, etc.). It is our hope to spread this message at George Fox University.
Purpose of MCC:
  -Create a safe space for self expression
  -To discuss/connect the significance of race/culture to God and the Christian life
  -To explore culture as it exists today
Our goals for this year are as follows:
  -Planting seeds of cultural understanding and appreciation
  -Encouraging others to investigate the person behind the face
  -Having powerful conversations
As a club, we will meet on the last Tuesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. in the Foxhole beginning September 30.
For more information contact:
Multicultural Club President – Gabriel (Gabe) Cortez at gcortez05@georgefox.edu.
Multicultural Club Vice President – Shereen (Shay) Sherman at ssherman05@georgefox.edu.

Bon Appetit is issuing an “Eat Local Challenge” on Tuesday, Sept. 30. To commemorate the event, lunch in the Klages Dining Room will feature ingredients from within a 150-mile radius of Newberg. This act, while seemingly simple, has far-reaching implications.
For starters, food grown locally is fresher and more flavorful than food that is harvested early so it can be transported great distances. Tuesday’s greens will come from Mustard Seed Farms, the beef from The Dalles, the vegetables from throughout Yamhill County, and the mushrooms from the coastal range. Secondly, eating local invests in our own community and helps to preserve local farmers and artisans.
If you are not on a meal plan, you can enjoy the meal for $6. For more information on sustainability, visit CircleofResponsibility.com.
