The School of Communication and Design invites the university community to a closing reception and curator talk for the show “Art and Artifacts from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Surrounding Countries” tonight (Monday) from 6 to 7 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Join Bruin student-athletes for an evening of roundtable discussions this Thursday, March 31, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Canyon Commons 101-103. Our hope is that students can have peer-to-peer conversations about topics that are important to the athletics mission.

Come bounce ideas off one another and get to know what each of our programs are doing to achieve athletic excellence, academic success, and Christlike character. Topics will include:

• What are national championship teams doing differently?
• How do you intentionally build community outside of athletic activities?
• How can we tie our worth to Jesus rather than our performance?
• How can we take what we have learned being student-athletes and apply it into jobs/internships?

We hope to see you there! Contact Elise Trask at etrask@georgefox.edu with any questions.

We are conducting a PsyD dissertation research project, “Resilience and Cultural Connectiveness within the Native American/Indigenous Population,” and would appreciate your feedback. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete our survey.

We are looking for participants with any Native American/American Indian Indigenous heritage. The purpose of this research is to show how resilience/strength, cultural identity, spiritual identity, and cultural connectiveness are reflected within the Indigenous population.

At the end of the survey is the option to enter a raffle (rewards include three $100 Visa gift cards) as a thank you. We have received IRB approval through George Fox, and as a tribal partnership project we place an emphasis on participant safety and a culturally humble approach to Indigenous research.

Thank you for considering participation in our research. If you have any questions, concerns or feedback, please feel free to contact Winston Seegobin at wseegobin@georgefox.edu or Lindsay Price at lprice18@georgefox.edu.

The bins with yellow lids on campus are for recycling only. Please avoid placing trash in the recycling bins. Bins designated for garbage have black lids.

If a garbage bin is already full, please place your trash in a different garbage bin in order to avoid overflowing the bin. Do not place trash on the ground by the bin, as the service driver will not pick up anything outside of a bin.

Following these guidelines will ensure that the recycling gets recycled and that the trash bins are not avoided by the waste company. Thank you!
