Come to our Mathetes panel from 7 to 8:30 p.m., on Thursday, Oct. 7, in Hoover 102.

Mathetes is a safe conversational space in which students and faculty can engage with each other and learn from the experience of others in their Fox community. Our hope for this panel is that we can confront the myth that every person who is involved in higher education has the same educational experience.

This Mathetes event will unpack the experience of individuals who are English-learners (ESL), or who have experience in the language-learning environment. We hope to see you there!

Cookies and coffee will also be provided.

If you have any questions, contact Victoria Prieto (vprieto17@georgefox.edu).

Here’s a quick reminder for your safety and security. There are still some warm days ahead, and we understand some people like to open windows and prop doors for better airflow. We would ask that you remember to secure your area if you are not around and make sure the doors are not propped open. Leaving windows open or doors propped is a safety and security concern.

Remember, please secure your valuables and don’t leave valuables in your car, unlocked room, or in general just lying around. If something seems out of place or you have a concern, feel free to call Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090. We have 24/7 officers are on duty.

Thank you and enjoy your weekend!

A servant engineering team has created a survey for the students and employees of George Fox to determine their interest in various public health topics.

We would appreciate it if you would be willing to take some time to fill it out.

Thank you!

We want to remind all of us about the expectations of living in a Christ-centered community that honors kindness, grace, and civility as important values. We believe that all people are of great worth and value in the eyes of God and seek to increasingly become a campus characterized by loving support of one another.

Cultural humility means that we seek to understand and appreciate others, also created in the image of God, who are different from ourselves. Language and/or behavior that relies on stereotypes or is demeaning toward individuals or groups is absolutely unacceptable for George Fox students and employees, whether it occurs in person, through social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) or anonymously.

Violations of these expectations are taken very seriously by the university, especially when directed at another because of their race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, or disabilities. We want to remind everyone that George Fox has harassment, discrimination, and bias-related incident policies that can be viewed here.

Any incidents of harassment, discrimination or bias should be reported immediately to the student life office. We would also encourage community members to hold one another accountable for what we say and do in this important area.

May God enable each of us to be more and more like Jesus in the way we treat one another!

Did you know that the Maker Hub has a handheld wood CNC router? This machine from Shaper Origin can engrave wooden signs, cut inlays, and makes cutting dovetail joints a breeze. Check out this video that shows the process of making a trivet with the same Shaper Origin CNC router we have in the Maker Hub.

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the whole 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.

Oregon’s co-coordinators for Braver Angels, a national group promoting civil conversation and cooperation across political divides, will describe their work in a special presentation on campus Tuesday, Oct. 5.

The free event is open to the public and is set from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Hoover 105. The evening will feature Elise Keith and Ben Nanke, who co-coordinate the Oregon chapter’s work, Elise as a “Blue” and Ben as a “Red.”

More information on the Oct. 5 event and the George Fox Civility Project is available at this link, or by contacting Civility Project Director Ron Mock at rmock@georgefox.edu. You can also read about the Braver Angels at this link.

A Zoom link to the event will be available soon. You will be able to find it on the Civility Project website.

Braver Angels (BA) is one of the leading national organizations working to overcome America’s historically high levels of political polarization and alienation. Their events allow conservatives and liberals to get past destructive stereotypes so “we can have civil conversations about real issues that lead to productive problem-solving,” according to the BA website.

Run, jog, walk, or crawl the Color Run tonight (Friday)!

We’ll start in the amphitheater at 6:30 p.m., and end the race with an after party full of music, dancing, and Otter Pops!
