The Daily Bruin

This season can be a source of stress for many of us. To help, the Social Work Club has created a space to relax, rest and care for our mental health. Self-Care Night will take place on Friday, Nov. 13 from 6 to 9 p.m. in Hoover 105.

This event is open to all and will feature snacks, coloring, mindfulness activities, encouragement, and community. Pajamas and comfy clothes are encouraged. We look forward to seeing you there!

Questions? Contact Ashley Martin (amartin18@georgefox.edu).

Students, how have you experienced the Be Known promise? Maybe it’s a professor who invited you into their life beyond the classroom, or a staff member who prayed with you when you needed it most. Whatever it is, we want to hear about it and share your story!

• First place (our favorite story): $100 Amazon gift card
• Second place: $50 Amazon gift card
• Third through fifth place: $25 Chapters gift card

In recognition of the extra stress everyone is facing in 2020, George Fox is adding a previously unscheduled holiday to the fall 2020 semester. George Fox will add a “Day of Rest” this year on Wednesday, Nov. 11. This coincides with Veterans Day, giving everyone the opportunity to honor those who have served our country. All classes will be canceled and offices will be closed. In a year of unpleasant surprises, we hope this will provide a brief time of respite and renewal for our students and employees.

Grab your friends and sign up for the 2020 Ugly Sweater Virtual 5K and One Mile Fun Run held on Saturday, Dec. 12.

The cost is $30 for the 5K and $17 for the one mile; this includes a guaranteed T-shirt if you sign up by today (Monday). Shirts will be mailed to the address provided on your registration form. Sign up here.

All proceeds go to support the College of Physical Therapy’s medical service trip to Uganda this summer.

Aren’t new PJs just wonderful during the holidays? We think so, and we’re working with United Way, during their annual Pajama Drive, to provide over 1,600 local children and families in crisis with a new pair of jammies. It seems like such a small thing, but sometimes the comfort of a small gift can make a big difference.

Now through Nov. 30, you can drop off your donation at the food bank in Roberts 109. Or, mail your donation to campus box 6148.

If you have any questions, please contact Jere Witherspoon (bruincommunitypantry@georgefox.edu).
