All new undergraduate students are invited to attend this Bruin Adventure program tomorrow (Friday) from 11 to 11:50 a.m. in Bauman Auditorium.

Come hear from returning students about what helped them thrive, things they wish they had done differently, and advice for your first semester at George Fox.

We’ll have a time for questions for the student panel. Attendees will be entered in drawings for $25 gift certificates.
