The Daily Bruin

The Cultural Ambassadors are hosting Portland tours aimed at connecting George Fox students with organizations/businesses that currently use their platforms to center BIPOC communities and their diverse stories.

On our next trip – to the Bison Coffeehouse and Portland Mercado this Saturday, March 12 – we will have the privilege to meet with Loretta Guzman and learn more about her vision in starting Portland’s only Native-owned coffee shop!

We will meet that morning at the Intercultural Resource Center at 7 a.m. Join us as we get to learn from BIPOC community leaders as they speak on the amazing work they are doing every day.

Admission on the tours is free! Sign up here. Questions? Contact Victoria Prieto at vprieto17@georgefox.edu.

Step into a cross-cultural experience this month in the Minthorne Gallery (located in the Hoover Academic Building)!

The School of Communication and Design presents “Art and Artifacts from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Surrounding Countries.” This exhibition features a variety of masks, figures, rugs, baskets and more that former U.S. Ambassador Harriet Isom collected during her time serving abroad. Purchased from itinerant vendors, these objects represent various people groups across the Central African belt and offer us a glimpse into their lives.

Despite their relocation to our gallery, we emphasize that many of these excellently crafted works served religious, spiritual, or ritualistic purposes in their original contexts.

Join us tomorrow (Friday) from 5 to 8 p.m. during Newberg’s First Friday Art Walk to celebrate this show with us!

Do you have a check from George Fox that has not been deposited or cashed yet? This could be a payroll check related to work study or another program, or from accounts payable for reimbursement of expenses.

If so, please deposit or cash the check(s) by Thursday, March 31. If a family member is holding the uncashed check(s) for you, please pass along this information to them.

Thank you in advance for your quick response to this request, as this will reduce the level of work required for March’s month-end reporting.
