You did it – you made it through fall semester! Winter break is a great time to relax and reset as you enjoy time with your families celebrating the holidays. However, we would encourage you to take advantage of the slowed pace to get some important items checked off your financial aid to-do list!
Our financial aid office is here to help you, even while you’re on break. While university offices will be closed from Dec. 24 through Jan. 2, we are ready to assist you upon our return. In the meantime, our website has answers to many common questions.
Questions about scholarships? Reach out to our Scholarship Resource Center. Questions about the FAFSA and additional financial aid? Reach out to your financial aid counselor. We’re here to help!
Have a wonderful break!

Did you know that the Maker Hub has a high-speed camera? Our Chronos high-speed camera is located in “The Vault” and is perfect for recording a video with very high frame rates. It allows you to capture events that are too fast to be seen with the naked eye, allowing these events to be seen in slow motion and studied in detail.
Videos can be saved in RAW, CinemaDNG, or H.264 codecs. For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki page, and check out this video for examples!
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.

Be well and stay safe!
