The Cultural Enterprise invites the entire campus community to a Forum on Faith and Sexuality on Monday and Tuesday, March 14-15, in Canyon Commons.
The two-day event features three widely acclaimed authors: Wesley Hill, Eve Tushnet and Nancy Pearcey. Our hope is to provide stimulus for thoughtful dialogue with pressing questions of human sexuality and Christian faith through the testimony and ideas of these presenters.
There will be three keynotes as well as a panel, all with opportunities for engagement from the audience. Obviously these questions are complex and discussion of them increasingly fraught, but our hope is to demonstrate Christlike concern for people and truth.
Here is the schedule:

You can’t cut steel with safety scissors, but you can use a plasma cutter! The Maker Hub’s Miller Plasma Cutter is a useful and time-saving tool. It uses a plasma arc and compressed air to cut through electrically conductive metals such as steel and aluminum.
This machine will cut up to 7/8″ mild steel at 10 inches per minute and can roughly sever up to 1-1/4″ plate. The torch is hand controlled so you can cut many types of designs. You can use a straight edge or material as a guide to cut various shapes and lines.
For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki Page. Check out this video to learn how it works!
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.
