All are invited to listen to our biochemistry faculty candidate, Pam Beilby, present her research at 2 p.m. today (Monday) in Hoover 105. Her talk is titled “Glutathione and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).â€
Glutathione is the primary non-enzymatic antioxidant in mitochondria. Mitochondrial function, as well as the mitochondrial pool of glutathione, diminishes significantly with age and in many disease states, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Traditional efforts to elevate cellular glutathione levels typically raise cytosolic levels, but fail to impact the mitochondrial pool of glutathione. To address this limitation, we have designed glutathione derivatives conjugated to a triphenylphosphonium moiety to enhance delivery directly to mitochondria.
Direct any questions to Vetta Berokoff at vberokof@georgefox.edu.
George Fox University’s Debate Team will be hosting a live debate in Hoover 105 on Wednesday, April 6, from 5 to 7 p.m. Come enjoy food and watch students debate the culture and dynamics of “Ring by Spring.”

George Fox University Theatre welcomes the university community to its production of The Hijabis. Performances in Wood-Mar Auditorium are scheduled as follows:
Synopsis
Maya, Nadia and Leen, three best friends from college, are now living their mid-20s dreams in suburban Chicago. Leen is a fashion designer who owns a fashion boutique. Maya works as an office assistant in a dental office, and Nadia is a teacher at a local Montessori school.
Life after college isn’t what any of the women expected, but what unites them in their struggles is their love for ice cream, their penchant for laughter, and their commitment to wearing their hijabs as a reflection of their faithfulness to God. Unfortunately, their lives are upended when their mosque is desecrated by locals from the community. Their responses to this event change the course of their lives.
Special Ticket Options for Students, Faculty and Staff
Students may acquire free tickets for our 2 p.m. Saturday, April 9, performance in Wood-Mar Auditorium.
George Fox faculty and staff are entitled to one free ticket for the run of the show. Both options may be selected when you purchase or select your tickets in our online ticketing system. Please use your George Fox email address when ordering.
You may purchase tickets here. For details or assistance, email Kathy Harris at kharris@georgefox.edu or call 503-554-2670.

Is that small sewing kit your parents sent you to college with not cutting in anymore? Have no fear, the Maker Hub has multiple machines to solve your sewing needs, including the Janome Serger.
The Janome Serger performs a type of stitch known as the overlock stitch, a type of stitching that sews over the edge of one or more pieces of fabric. Sergers also have the ability to cut off the excess edge as it is fed through the machine. This type of stitching is useful for edging, hemming and seaming. This process will create a clean edge of your fabric that will not fray.
The Janome MyLock 634D allows you to easily switch from overlock stitching to rolled hemming without needing to change the needle plate. Some of the key features include a tension release device, easily accessible lower looper guides, a changeable thread guide, easily retractable upper knife, adjustable foot pressure, and more.
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.
Hello! We are a group of students conducting research on the correlation between various concussion symptoms and mental health among athletes. We are asking student-athletes to complete a brief five- to 10-minute survey regarding concussions.
The only criteria is that you be a current student-athlete, between the ages of 18 and 24, and have sustained a concussion at some point in your life. If you currently have a concussion, please wait to complete the survey until you have been cleared to return to play.
Please feel free to share this survey with other student-athletes outside of George Fox.
Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and anonymous. Any questions or concerns can be directed to Maddie O’Hare at mohare18@georgefox.edu or Franklin Leonard at fleonard18@georgefox.edu.
Disclaimer: These surveys are student generated and are not to be associated with any official research conducted by faculty and staff at George Fox University. Any views or opinions presented in these surveys are solely those of the students and do not represent those of George Fox University. The distribution of these surveys is a service provided to George Fox University students as they prepare their research required by the curriculum. Students are required to have department approval. Any questions about these surveys should be directed to the students associated with the survey in question.
