Have you heard? The ‘Loudest Dance You’ve Never Heard’ is back and quieter than ever! On Saturday, March 27, we’re stepping out of the library and onto the quad for a socially distanced dance, where the DJ will spin his music directly into your Bluetooth headphones.

The dance will be from 7 to 10 p.m., taking place in two sessions. The first session is from 7 to 8:15 p.m. and the second will be from 8:45 to 10 p.m.

Limited space is available. Sign up for a timeslot here and check-in at the dance to be given a pair of headphones.

Library Workshop: ‘Database Hacks’

Thursday, March 18th, 2021

Get the most out of the library databases by learning how to speak their language. Join librarian Kate Wimer to learn some of the tricks of the trade to search powerfully and efficiently.

We’ll cover the basics of Boolean as well as some of the more obscure operators. The workshop will be held on Wednesday, March 24, at 10 a.m. via Zoom. Register here.

This semester, the library is offering a series of workshops to help the Fox community navigate our increasingly digital library environment. Each workshop will be taught by a different librarian, making them an excellent way to refresh your skills, learn something new, or hear an old concept in a new way.

All are welcome to participate in the ‘Walk of Remembrance’

Thursday, March 18th, 2021

Starting today (Friday) through Sunday, March 19, students will have the opportunity to complete a “Walk of Remembrance for Racial Injustice” along the Hess Creek Heritage Trail in the canyon.

Twelve signs will be posted along the trail, each describing a historical event in which white people caused or benefitted from injustice toward People of Color.

These stories are difficult, with most detailing violence toward People of Color. This content may be triggering. Please, do not feel that you must engage with this walk if the content may be too difficult to face. We understand that this week has been marked by a heartbreaking and abhorrent attack against the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders community.

The purpose of this walk is to engage those with privilege and encourage a deeper resolve for justice. It is also an opportunity for reflection, motivation for change, and possibly healing.

We hope that you will take the time to complete the “Walk of Remembrance” if you feel comfortable doing so. The signs will be posted through the weekend, and the walk can be completed at any time.

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