Attention sophomores!

The Office of Financial Aid will be having a presentation on “Paying for College” for continuing students. Sophomores, did you know your Stafford Loans can increase, you can still apply for external scholarships, and study abroad can be covered by financial aid? You won’t want to miss out on all the reminders you may have forgotten since freshman year.

There will be two different options for attending this presentation:

• In person, today (Wednesday) from 3 to 5 p.m. in Hoover 105. Sign up here.
• Webinar on Zoom, on Wednesday, Feb. 15, from 4 to 5 p.m. Sign up here.

The presentation will also cover many familiar topics, including scholarships, student employment, FAFSA information, professional judgments and more. We encourage students to attend one of these sessions so they can stay up to date on all things financial aid.

For more information on this presentation or if you have any questions, please reach out to the Office of Financial Aid at finaid@georgefox.edu or call us at 503-554-2302.

Networking is the best way to find a job or an internship. So, please be sure to stop by Rooms 101, 102 and 103 in Canyon Commons on Wednesday, Feb. 15, to talk with a variety of employers who will be on campus for our Spring Career Fair.

This is open to all majors, so everyone should stop by for a few minutes to talk with these folks. They will have internship and employment opportunities waiting for you. Bring your resume if you’d like. The fair is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Feel free to contact Wade Witherspoon at wwitherspoon@georgefox.edu with any questions.

Did you know your Stafford Loans can increase with your grade level, you can still apply for external scholarships, and study abroad can be covered by financial aid? All of this and more will be covered in our upcoming “Paying for College” presentation specifically designed for continuing students.

While the process is similar, some things are different year two and beyond. We encourage students to attend one of these sessions so they can stay up-to-date on all things financial aid.

A presentation tomorrow (Wednesday) will cover many topics, including scholarships, student employment, FAFSA information, professional judgments and more! It will be held in Hoover 105, starting at 3 p.m.

It’s hard to guarantee that the piece of wood you want to work with is flat. The Maker Hub’s Powermatic Jointer helps carve wood down to produce a flat surface along a board’s length. This helps when gluing board edges together so they can be flat and fit together without gaps.

A jointer cuts with a helical cutter-head made up of many tiny carbide cutters wrapped around a rotating drum. 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.

We have an exciting opportunity coming up! We have heard from many students that they would love opportunities to be able to get to know fellow theology students in an informal environment, outside of the classroom.

What if there were a student club on campus for theology students? To be clear, this would be students interested in theology, including but not limited to the theology majors and minors.

Would you like to be part of such a club? Would you perhaps even like to be a leader of such a club?

Please come to our pre-founding interest meeting, which will be a luncheon with free food, on Wednesday, Feb. 8, from noon to 12:50 p.m. in Hoover 104. We will even be cutting an Old Testament-style “covenant cake” to mark the importance of this day!

Check out our flyer here.
