The Daily Bruin

The IDEA Center is happy to announce its first networking event of the year! We have invited a group of 15 intriguing alumni professionals to campus that will each host a table at this round-robin event.

For 10 minutes, professionals will share about their career journey, as well as any advice they wish they knew when they were college students at George Fox. Students will have the opportunity to ask any questions regarding the alumni’s career of choice or education path.

Every 10 minutes students will move to a new table with a new professional. For the final 20 minutes of the event, all students will have the chance to connect with our guests in a traditional mixer-type format.

We will be hosting alumni from the following industries: HR and recruiting, education, healthcare, technology, start-ups, government, nonprofit work, marketing, event planning, athletics, ministry, and so much more!

The undergrad degrees they received from George Fox University include accounting, finance, engineering, cognitive science, biology, organizational communication, marketing, family and consumer sciences, Christian ministries, business administration, and psychology.

Registration opens this Monday, Sept. 20, on Handshake! When it opens, log into your Handshake account, click “Events” in the top left corner, then scroll down to find the selection “#CAREERGOALS: A Career Exploration Event”, hosted by George Fox University.

The Bruin Bound Podcast is a podcast run by the George Fox admissions office. Last year, many of the episodes focused on the practical aspects of applying to college. The topics were mostly informational, centering on things like financial aid, transferring to George Fox, and activities available on campus.

This year, we are making a shift to focus more on the voices, experiences and stories of people at George Fox. We would love to hear your story. Whether it is something profound, funny, difficult, intense or ordinary, we want to hear what you have to share.

The podcast topics will cover everything from transition, to food, to fun memories with friends. If you have any questions or thoughts, please feel free to reach out to Satoshi Seth at sseth@georgefox.edu.
