Step into a cross-cultural experience this month in the Minthorne Gallery (located in the Hoover Academic Building)!

The School of Communication and Design presents “Art and Artifacts from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Surrounding Countries.” This exhibition features a variety of masks, figures, rugs, baskets and more that former U.S. Ambassador Harriet Isom collected during her time serving abroad. Purchased from itinerant vendors, these objects represent various people groups across the Central African belt and offer us a glimpse into their lives.

Despite their relocation to our gallery, we emphasize that many of these excellently crafted works served religious, spiritual, or ritualistic purposes in their original contexts.

Join us tomorrow (Friday) from 5 to 8 p.m. during Newberg’s First Friday Art Walk to celebrate this show with us!

Questions? Contact Chandler Brutscher at cbrutscher@georgefox.edu.

If so, please deposit or cash the check(s) by Thursday, March 31. If a family member is holding the uncashed check(s) for you, please pass along this information to them.

Thank you in advance for your quick response to this request, as this will reduce the level of work required for March’s month-end reporting.

Our interprofessional team is delighted to invite the George Fox community to a virtual presentation: “Get Cultured! Decolonizing and Decentering Whiteness in the Healthcare Workforce.” It is 100% designed, developed and delivered by healthcare professionals who identify with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.

This event, scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on March 11-12, is for everyone, and if you identify as white, this is a special opportunity to listen and learn. We will learn about ways to decolonize and decenter whiteness in our workforce, dynamic sizing, and other methods to improve our clinical care.

Additionally, this CME will focus on two important clinical topics: persistent pain and chronic disease.

This is a soulful opportunity to hear and deeply reflect on the voices and lived experiences of our BIPOC-identifying colleagues. For more information and to register, go here. It is free to George Fox employees and students.

Questions? Please contact Tammy O’Doherty at todohert@georgefox.edu.
