Is that small sewing kit your parents sent you to college with not cutting in anymore? Have no fear, the Maker Hub has multiple machines to solve your sewing needs, including the Janome Serger.

The Janome Serger performs a type of stitch known as the overlock stitch, a type of stitching that sews over the edge of one or more pieces of fabric. Sergers also have the ability to cut off the excess edge as it is fed through the machine. This type of stitching is useful for edging, hemming and seaming. This process will create a clean edge of your fabric that will not fray.

The Janome MyLock 634D allows you to easily switch from overlock stitching to rolled hemming without needing to change the needle plate. Some of the key features include a tension release device, easily accessible lower looper guides, a changeable thread guide, easily retractable upper knife, adjustable foot pressure, and more.

Check out this video to see how it works. For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki Page.

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.

Hello! We are a group of students conducting research on the correlation between various concussion symptoms and mental health among athletes. We are asking student-athletes to complete a brief five- to 10-minute survey regarding concussions.

The only criteria is that you be a current student-athlete, between the ages of 18 and 24, and have sustained a concussion at some point in your life. If you currently have a concussion, please wait to complete the survey until you have been cleared to return to play.

Please feel free to share this survey with other student-athletes outside of George Fox.

Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and anonymous. Any questions or concerns can be directed to Maddie O’Hare at mohare18@georgefox.edu or Franklin Leonard at fleonard18@georgefox.edu.

Disclaimer: These surveys are student generated and are not to be associated with any official research conducted by faculty and staff at George Fox University. Any views or opinions presented in these surveys are solely those of the students and do not represent those of George Fox University. The distribution of these surveys is a service provided to George Fox University students as they prepare their research required by the curriculum. Students are required to have department approval. Any questions about these surveys should be directed to the students associated with the survey in question.

This Sunday, April 3, a group of students will host an event in the Canyon Commons banquet rooms for their final project in Business Communications. They’ve created the mock-up organization “Alone and Together” to better support the single-parent community.

We in athletics are hosting a “Be The Match” donor drive on Tuesday, April 5, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Marin Isaak, wife of Dale Isaak, longtime head athletic trainer at George Fox, is in need of a marrow transplant. You could be her match!

If you are between the ages of 18 and 40, stop by our tables in Canyon Commons to get your cheek swabbed to see if your tissue type matches Marin or anyone in the database. The most common type of donation is non-surgical.

Participants must be serious and willing to donate to anyone they match. Reach out to Adam Puckett at apuckett@georgefox.edu with any questions.

Join Bruin student-athletes for an evening of roundtable discussions tonight (Thursday) from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Canyon Commons 101-103. Our hope is that students can have peer-to-peer conversations about topics that are important to the athletics mission.

Come bounce ideas off one another and get to know what each of our programs are doing to achieve athletic excellence, academic success, and Christlike character. Topics will include:

• What are national championship teams doing differently?
• How do you intentionally build community outside of athletic activities?
• How can we tie our worth to Jesus rather than our performance?
• How can we take what we have learned being student-athletes and apply it into jobs/internships?

We hope to see you there! Contact Elise Trask at etrask@georgefox.edu with any questions.

The course will be taught in Spanish, so a basic understanding is required, but there are no prerequisites.

In class, we will talk about the establishment of the Hispanic Protestant church in the United States; the history of Hispanic immigration, the importance of Hispanic heritage, religion and culture; and how to break cultural barriers to bring the hope of God to Spanish-speaking family, friends and neighbors.

The class is open for registration now! Search SPAN 285 in your MyGeorgeFox portal to register.
