The Daily Bruin

“During spring break in March 2013, our 23-year-old daughter, Mary Owen, a George Fox student and outdoor adventurer, went missing.”

The George Fox Library is pleased to host Shelli and Bruce Owen for a “Fox at the Fireside” presentation about their book, Mountain Rescue, at 2:30 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 4, in the Murdock Library.

Shelli and Bruce will share their story, including the true events they wrote about in their book, and the process of writing the book itself. This will be a casual conversation in the library’s fireplace commons.

Learn more about the event and the Owens’ book here.

Did you know that the Maker Hub has a Ring Roller? Our Baileigh Ring Roller is a machine used to roll metal into a ring by forcing the material through rollers, also called dies.

The rollers can be adjusted to change the formed radius. The maximum mild steel machine capacity is 1/4-inch x 1-inch flat bar or 1/2-inch round rod. The minimum diameter you can form is 2.75 inches. Check out this video to see how a Ring Roller works!

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.

Questions? Contact Anika Perry at perrya20@georgefox.edu.
