The Daily Bruin

Hello Bruins! As a real-world application project for Psychology 485, we are collecting information through this survey about stressors and if the George Fox population would be interested in an app called “Joyages.”

This app has many ways of helping mitigate stress, such as journaling and helpful videos. We would greatly appreciate your feedback to see if it would be helpful campus-wide.

We are looking for feedback from as many students and employees as possible. Thank you!

Spring semester is almost over, and it is the perfect time to complete Financial Aid Verification and the “To Do” List items for 2021-22, listed in your MyGeorgeFox portal, while you are still on campus!

Financial Aid “To Do” List items will keep some of your financial aid for the 2021-22 school year from disbursing to your student account, so don’t delay in turning those in.

We are here to help clear these barriers, so just reach out to us if you have any questions!
