The Maker Hub is a makerspace located in the Klages Center at the Newberg campus. What exactly is a makerspace? Put simply, it’s a design and creative space that supports numerous disciplines such as woodworking, metalworking, 3D printing, electronics, textiles and art.
The Maker Hub is a resource that is available to all Fox students. One of the main reasons it exists is to add value to your educational experience here at Fox in both academic contexts and in the context of recreational or personal projects. So don’t miss out on the opportunity to build something and learn new skills. It’s a fantastic remedy for stress and stir-crazy feelings if you are looking for something to do here on campus.
The main “Hub†area is already open, and the technical shops (machine shop, wood shop, etc.) are scheduled to open next week. If you would like to get connected, email Nick Sullivan at nsullivan@georgefox.edu for more info.
The application deadline to apply to become an RA (resident assistant) has been extended to Tuesday, Jan. 26 at 5 p.m.

With our nation in turmoil, would you like to explore how Christians can help heal our political culture? If so, apply for the Civility Project Reading Group.
We will select ten students for this project. Group members are expected to read and/or write for one to two hours in preparation for each hour-long weekly meeting. We will meet in person — COVID permitting — at a time the group selects.
The group will work with Jonathan Kuttab, a Palestinian Christian lawyer. He will speak on campus (via Zoom) on Feb. 4 on Civility, Justice, and a Bill of Rights: A Vision of Israel/Palestine as One State. Kuttab will meet with the group twice between his Feb. 4 talk and his second on-campus appearance in late March.
Group members may also write for the Civility Project website to earn modest compensation for publishable pieces.
To apply, email the following to Civility Project director Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu by Friday, Jan. 22:

Last semester, George Fox had zero COVID-19 cases among our residential students from August until November. The pandemic is more widespread at this point, but we are determined to take steps to keep it off our campus. One important step is reducing opportunities for exposure. Residential students are asked to stay on campus until March 15, with the exception of essential travel, off-campus jobs, and visiting outdoor locations.
Because of changes in Oregon COVID-19 guidelines, food in Canyon Commons will be to-go only to start the spring semester. You may eat your food in your residence hall, in heated outdoor tents on campus or other locations on campus. Feel free to order ahead using the Get Mobile Food app.
