The Daily Bruin

Have you been wanting to learn how to play Dungeons and Dragons but never had the chance? Well, now you can!

In this week’s session on how to play D&D, we are teaching Spellcasting and Magical items! You will learn how to cast spells, how magical items work, which spells are the best to destroy your foes, and more! All you need to bring is a pencil and your creative mind!

Join us tonight (Friday) at 6 p.m. in Hoover 211 and learn how to defeat your enemies with the power of magic!

Did you know that the Maker Hub has a vacuum former? Our Formech 508DT Vacuum Former is a plastic molding machine that utilizes heat and a vacuum to stretch heated plastic over a mold.

While there are some limitations on the shape and size, the vacuum former is great for thin plastic molds. The maximum dimensions for molds are 17”x19” with a depth of 7.3″. The maximum thickness for the plastic sheet is 0.25″.

These molds can be made from many types of materials. It is most common to see molds made from wood. Check out this video to see how the top of a quadcopter drone is made with the vacuum former.

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.

If you live on campus, please read through these brief details so that you know what action steps to take if you encounter a problem with a washer or dryer.

If the issue you are experiencing is an emergency (i.e., there is active smoke, a fire, or a constant leak of water), please call Campus Public Safety (503-554-2090). They will assist in determining if there is a safety issue present that needs to be addressed immediately.

If the issue you are experiencing is not an emergency (i.e., the heating element is not working, the washer is not draining, or the machine will not start), please email University Housing (housing@georgefox.edu) with details of the issue and the exact machine experiencing the issues (some locations have multiple machines). They will assist in scheduling maintenance for the machine as needed.

If you have additional questions about this process, please connect with Residence Life staff or a member of the University Housing team.

We get it: You have a lot going on at the moment. The Thanksgiving holiday is right around the corner, followed by finals and the end of the semester. But alas, it is also time to start thinking about your financial aid for next year (or even next semester).

The good news is, we want to help! The financial aid office is offering a “Help Me Hangout” in Canyon Commons 101 from 8:30 a.m. to noon today (Thursday). We will have coffee, donut holes from Sesame Donuts, and cookies for anyone who stops by.

Whether you have a quick question about financial aid, need help with your FAFSA, or are looking for scholarship applications, we want to see you. You can pop in for a quick minute as you’re passing through, or you can sit with us and work while you wait between classes.

Grab a roommate or friend, your laptop, and come see us so you can get your financial aid taken care of for next year and enjoy your upcoming break!
