Do you ever struggle to write the intro and conclusion paragraphs of your essays? Is starting a paper the hardest part of your writing process? Join the ARC for our “Intro and Conclusion Writing Workshop” on Thursday, April 8, at 7 p.m. via Zoom.

You will be led through an easy process for writing tight, successful intro and conclusion paragraphs. You’ll even have time to ask questions relevant to your paper at the end. Come and get some preliminary help on those final essays you have coming up!

Questions? Contact Julia James (jjames@georgefox.edu).

Friendly reminder that Game Night Club will be meeting this Saturday, April 3, at 7 p.m. in Hoover 102. We hope you can join us for some Jackbox, Super Smash Bros, and other games!

We’d also like to announce that Gabe Messing will be the club president for the 2021-22 school year! However, Gabe can’t do it alone, and we still need a vice president and treasurer to help run the club. These positions do not take a lot of time out of your week, so please consider volunteering for next year!
