The Daily Bruin

Did you know that the Maker Hub has four Janome 3160QDC sewing machines?

These sewing machines feature 60 different stitch patterns. They also include features such as automatic fabric feeding, a one-hand needle threader, and easy-to-follow instructions, making them ideal for first-time sewers. Their more advanced features include buttons for lock stitch, needle up or down, and automatic thread cutting. Check out this video for an in-depth description!

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.

Midterm grades provide an accurate picture of your academic progress so far this semester.

The last day to withdraw from a class without a graded responsibility for a class you may be struggling in is Sunday, Nov. 7. This means that if you withdraw from a class, your transcript will show a “W.” If you do not withdraw now and ultimately do not pass a course, your GPA will suffer.

If your professor has not yet given you a midterm grade, please contact them right away to find out where you stand in that course.

Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.

Students who received a D or an F on their midterms should contact their CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the consequences of withdrawing from a class. If a student withdraws from a class, they should also contact their CAP coach to discuss their class schedule for future semesters.

Follow this link to contact CAP coaches.

Other resources for students are easily accessible on campus:

• Services for Tutoring
• Academic Resource Center
