The Daily Bruin

My partner and I are performing a research experiment and would appreciate any volunteers that want to participate in our study.

We are looking at the effects caffeine and meditation have on reaction time. You would be asked to come in two separate times. Each session should take about 20 minutes.

If you are interested in participating, contact Conner Graziano at cgraziano18@georgefox.edu or Jovan Pulgar at jpulgar19@georgefox.edu.

Thank you!

Failure is part of life, but it isn’t the end of the story. We all fail in various ways, whether earning a disappointing grade, missing a due date, having a relationship break up (or break down), or any of 100 other failings.

You, your classmates, professors, coaches – even President Baker – have all failed many times; it’s part of life. But the only true failure is ending the story before it’s over.

Join us this Friday, Oct. 22, from 11 to 11:50 a.m. in Bauman Auditorium for “We All Fall Down: Building Resilience.” This session will offer tips for getting back up and advancing toward your goals.

Contact Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Did you know that the Maker Hub has a welding simulator? The Maker Hub’s Miller AugmentedArc virtual reality welding system is the industry’s most realistic welding simulation solution for classroom training.

For beginner to advanced-level welding students, the AugmentedArc system simulates multiple welding processes, blending real-world and computer-generated images into a unique, augmented reality environment! Check out this video to see how it 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.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.

Midterm grades provide an accurate picture of your academic progress so far this semester.

The last day to withdraw from a class without a graded responsibility for a class you may be struggling in is Sunday, Nov. 7. This means that if you withdraw from a class, your transcript will show a “W.” If you do not withdraw now and ultimately do not pass a course, your GPA will suffer.

If your professor has not yet given you a midterm grade, please contact them right away to find out where you stand in that course.

Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.

Students who received a D or an F on their midterms should contact their CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the consequences of withdrawing from a class. If a student withdraws from a class, they should also contact their CAP coach to discuss their class schedule for future semesters.

Follow this link to contact CAP coaches.

Other resources for students are easily accessible on campus:

• Services for Tutoring
• Academic Resource Center
