The Daily Bruin

Occupation-induced burnout and moral injury are long-standing concerns for healthcare workers. Because of the pandemic, more people are talking about these concerns.

As a community of healers, let’s discuss the burdens we carry in our healthcare system. Let’s explore solutions to regain our passion and vitality in our noble work.

Interested in joining in on the discussion? Register for the Interprofessional Primary Care Institute’s inaugural Healthcare Workers Wellness Summit: From Demoralization to Remoralization in OUR Work. This virtual event, available via Zoom, is free to all George Fox employees and students.

The summit is set from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 7. To get the Zoom link, simply register at the link above.

Did you know that the Maker Hub has a high-speed camera? Our Chronos high-speed camera is located in “The Vault” and is perfect for recording a video with very high frame rates. It allows you to capture events that are too fast to be seen with the naked eye, allowing these events to be seen in slow motion and studied in detail.

Videos can be saved in RAW, CinemaDNG, or H.264 codecs. For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki page, and check out this video for examples!

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.

Faculty, staff, students, vendors and visitors across all campus locations must use face coverings as required by state guidelines. You can read the full face-covering policy here.

Masks, face coverings, or face shields are currently required for:

• All indoor public campus spaces (e.g., classrooms, offices, hallways, meeting rooms, etc.) unless the individual is alone in an individual private workspace defined by OHA as an indoor space within a public or private workplace used for work by one individual at a time. It must be enclosed on all sides with walls from floor to ceiling and with a closed door. Note: Face coverings are required in all cubicle and open workspaces.
• In the Bruin Den, Canyon Commons or Bridge Cafe you may remove your face covering ONLY if you are actively eating.

The university has worked hard to follow CDC and OHA guidance through the pandemic, but we recognize there will be a variety of personal perspectives on how our campus should transition back to pre-pandemic life. We ask that, as members of a Christ-centered community, we treat one another with kindness and grace, particularly when our views differ from one another.

Be well and stay safe!
