The Daily Bruin

Join the Interprofessional Primary Care Institute for a special continuing medical education (CME) event Aug. 17-19 on Zoom. Titled “Get Psyched!,” it is designed for all healthcare workers to assist in enhancing primary care behavioral health for all people served.

With rising rates of depression, anxiety, suicide attempts, substance use, etc. it is more important than ever to have robust, accessible and effective primary care behavioral health services.

Come hear about this transformational approach from Patti Robinson, PhD. Robinson is an internationally renowned psychologist, and we are privileged to have her as our institute’s innovation director. Joining her in the team presentation are Bhavesh Rajani, MD, MBA, Amber Nelson, PsyD, and Julie Oyemaja, PsyD, all of whom are experienced interprofessional primary care team players.

Looking for meaningful volunteer work and career experience? Interested in a career related to EMS/firefighting/emergency response?

Dundee Fire and Rescue (a few miles from the George Fox campus) is interested in interviewing potential recruits. New volunteers would attend a weekend academy that starts in September and ends in November.

Volunteering and being a student is very doable – past and current students have been a part of this, and it’s a great way to serve the community. The station features single dorm rooms, great study spaces and workout equipment. It’s an awesome place to hang out.

For more information, contact Adri Lee at alee21@georgefox.edu.

Rick Muthiah, director of Learning Support Services, is recruiting three or four graduate students to work as academic mentors for high-risk students on the Newberg campus during the fall 2022 semester.

Academic mentors will work seven to 10 hours per week, and will be paid $14.75 per hour. Students can find more details and application information on the HandShake position posting. The position is open to any George Fox graduate student, including incoming students.

Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. Academic mentors will have the opportunity to continue in the spring semester based on their availability and ongoing need for the program.

Past success coaches have commented on how much they grew through the experience, especially through their one-on-one sessions with high-risk students. The role is not a formal counseling role, but has similarities that can be especially helpful for graduate students who will be entering helping professions.

Please contact Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah+mentor@georgefox.edu) if you have questions.

There have been a few phishing attempts that have been circulating through George Fox emails. These attempts can come in various forms, and they are sent to try to gain access to either your email account or to confidential information. The most recent attempt is a notification of a shared Google Doc titled “IT WORK ORDER REQUEST DOCXX.pdf.”

So that you don’t fall victim to these attempts, please review the guidelines below.

If you feel you’ve received a suspicious email, check the following:

• Check the sender’s address. If it is unrecognizable or something similar to, but not exactly the same as the sender’s normal email address, it could be a phishing attempt. Please note that a similar email address does not mean the original email address has been compromised; this is called a spoofing account.
• Any link or odd instructions. If the email directs you to click on a link (even something familiar such as iTunes, etc.) or input sensitive information, it could be an attempt to get your password or other important information. Verify with the sender personally if you are suspicious.

If you feel that you have received some sort of phishing attempt:

• If you receive an email that you suspect is a phishing attempt, you should forward it to servicedesk@georgefox.edu.
• You should not click any links or open any attachments.
• When Google identifies that an email may be phishing or suspicious, they might show a warning or move the email to Spam.
• If an email wasn’t marked correctly, follow the steps below to mark or unmark it as phishing.

1. On a computer, go to Gmail
2. Open the message
3. Next to “Reply <–“, click “More” (represented by three dots vertically stacked)
4. Click “Report Phishing”

• Request that anyone who has been emailed via the attempt also report it as phishing in their inbox.
  If you did not click on any links or reply, you do not need to do anything further.
• If you did click on a link or send a reply with sensitive information, you’ll want to change your password as soon as you can in my.georgefox.edu (this will automatically update your email password). Then go through the Settings in your Gmail account to look for anything amiss, such as an unfamiliar forwarding address or vacation responder that you never created.

Feel free to call the Service Desk at 503-545-2569 if you would like help walking through these steps.
