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.

One of the off-campus program options for George Fox students is the Oregon Extension, deep in the Cascades of Southern Oregon.
It’s a 17-credit fall semester where 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.
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.
A professor from the OE will be on campus Tuesday and Wednesday, April-19, at a table in Canyon Commons on 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. Find out more at oregonextension.org.
Credit can be earned in environmental studies, art history, literature, political science, religious studies, history, psychology, biology, sociology, and philosophy.
Do you have stress, aches, pains, or just want to feel relaxed? Come by to get a massage from a doctor of physical therapy student!

Your contribution will help fund our medical service trip to Uganda in May.

Join us for “Real Talk,” an event created for George Fox students by the Act Six Cadre 16, this Monday, April 17, from 6 to 7 p.m. in Canyon Commons 101.
Our goal is to bring influential speakers from our community to share their experiences as a George Fox student. We will be real and talk about the uncomfortable conversations and barriers as a young adult.
Come learn about the upbringing and the obstacles that Khadija Bruce went through. She is an elementary school teacher for Portland Public Schools and plans to climb the education ladder in order to restructure our educational system. Her goal is for quality education to be equitable for anyone.
