The Doctor of Physical Therapy program is seeking participants for a study that aims to assess how a person’s level of activity relates to characteristics of their foot, such as shape and muscle strength.

Participants will be asked to attend one test session lasting about 45 minutes, during which their foot characteristics will be measured. Participants will then wear a step counter for the next several days and return for their last session to have the step counter data collected.

If you are interested in learning more about the study or would like to participate, please contact Sarah Jones at gfufootstudy@georgefox.edu or call 503-269-2161. We look forward to hearing from you!

Hello Bruins! I am having a garage sale on campus from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. today (Saturday) at 1014 E. Hancock St., Apt 1 (right across from the counseling center).

I am selling dorm-friendly items like full kitchen sets, a vacuum, rug, shoe rack, closet organizers, school supplies, dorm lights and decorations, and more!

This is a great opportunity to make a few additions to your dorm room. As a senior over the years I’ve collected some pretty great stuff I am excited to sell! I hope to see you come by.

The George Fox Civility Project invites the George Fox community to a pair of events with guest Jonathan Kuttab next week. Kuttab is a Palestinian Mennonite Christian who has worked for many years for peace and justice in Israel and Palestine.

The main event is set for Wednesday, March 31, when Kuttab will speak on  “Civility, Justice, and a Bill of Rights: Building a Successful One-State Political Culture in the Holy Land” from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium.

Students and employees are welcome to attend in Bauman, although seating will be limited. Anyone who can’t attend in person can do so via Zoom, although we ask that you register for free here. For students, the Wednesday evening session will count as a chapel credit; you will get the code to use to claim your credit at the session.

George Fox alumni and others especially interested in peacemaking in Israel and Palestine are also invited to meet with Kuttab in person for a special conversation at the Newberg Cultural Center (415 E. Sheridan St.) on Tuesday, March 30, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Due to COVID restrictions, there will be no refreshments served that night, but you can tell us you are coming by signing up here.

Students: If you are interested in earning some credit, or doing an assignment centering on one or both of these events, inquire with your professor.
