Participate in ‘Walk of Remembrance for Racial Injustice’ this weekend

Friday, March 19th, 2021

Throughout today (Saturday) and tomorrow (Sunday), students will have the opportunity to complete a “Walk of Remembrance for Racial Injustice” along the Hess Creek Heritage Trail in the canyon.

Twelve signs will be posted along the trail, each describing a historical event in which white people caused or benefitted from injustice toward People of Color.

These stories are difficult, with most detailing violence towards People of Color. This content may be triggering. Please, do not feel that you must engage with this walk if the content may be too difficult to face. We understand that this week has been marked by a heartbreaking and abhorrent attack against the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders community.

The purpose of this walk is to engage those with privilege and encourage a deeper resolve for justice. It is also an opportunity for reflection, motivation for change, and possibly healing.

We hope that you will take the time to complete the “Walk of Remembrance” if you feel comfortable doing so. The signs will be posted through the weekend, and the walk can be completed at any time.

Questions? Contact Ashley Martin (amartin18@georgefox.edu).

Important midterm grade information

Friday, March 19th, 2021

Please note that Sunday, March 28, is the last day to withdraw from a class without a graded responsibility for the class.

Withdrawing from a class: This means that if you withdraw from a class you will receive a “W” on your transcript. If you don’t withdraw now and ultimately don’t pass a course, your GPA will be affected in a negative way.

If your professor has not provided you with a mid-term grade, please contact them immediately to find out what your status is in that course. Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.

CAP Coaches: Students with a “D” or “F” on their midterms should make an appointment with their CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the ramifications of withdrawing from a class. 

Students withdrawing from a class should contact their CAP coach as well to discuss their class schedule for future semesters. Click here to contact your CAP Coach.
