Stop by Hoover 103 to listen to two doctors of psychology speak on a topic that they have chosen. Join us from 6 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 22. There will be snacks and drinks provided at the chapel. Attending this event counts for one non-Bauman chapel credit. We hope to see you there!

Maybe we haven’t been able to convince you to come to the Maker Hub and make something new, but how about customizing an object you already have?

The Maker Hub’s Trotec Speedy 300 and 400 laser cutters can be used to engrave and cut materials based on specified images and shapes. This is useful for making enclosures out of acrylic, engraving designs into many materials, creating trophies, and cutting any two-dimensional shape out of a variety of materials. It also has a rotary attachment which enables cylindrical objects such as drinking glasses and hydro flasks to be engraved with detailed designs.

The Speedy 400 uses the same software and general setup as the Speedy 300, however it has a larger bed. Check out this video to see how it works. For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki page for the laser cutters.

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.

Thanksgiving weekend is a great time to see family, friends, and rest before the semester’s end. While you’re taking a break from class, it’s a great time to file your FAFSA and check that off your list.

Be sure to file your FAFSA as soon as possible. Some federal and state funds are limited for undergraduate students, so don’t miss out on this opportunity!

Questions? Check out our FAFSA FAQ or contact the financial aid office at finaid@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2302. You can also schedule an appointment at gfufa.as.me.

*The 2023-24 FAFSA covers fall 2023, spring 2024 and summer 2024.
