The School of Physical Therapy is looking for volunteers to participate in a lab session on the shoulder. If you have a problem with your shoulder or upper arm, our lab is the place to be!

Our doctor of physical therapy second-year students, along with faculty members, will be performing examinations and giving you direction on how to take care of your condition. 

We will be taking all the current precautions related to the delivery of healthcare during COVID-19, which includes our students wearing face shields and masks, volunteers and students using stations that provide physical distance from others, and all participants being screened for symptoms. 

Volunteers are needed for either a one- or two-hour session Tuesday, Sept. 15, between 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. in Roberts Center.

Jenny Elsey, dean of student success and equity, will facilitate a Zoom session for first-generation college students on Wednesday, Sept. 9, from 2 to 3 p.m. The title of the session is “College 101: Making the College Experience Less Mysterious for First-Generation Students.”

First-generation students are the first in their family to attend a four-year college or university. Sometimes, being the first can be scary; this session is designed to help connect with other first-generation students and learn more about what to expect in the first year at George Fox.

The session will be recorded and a link will be added to the ARC workshops page so the session can be viewed later. Note that this session is one of the “Get Involved” options for LIBA 100.

As we enter week three of the academic year—the week when George Fox University typically holds our annual Serve Day—we invite you to participate in a campus-wide prayer effort on behalf of our surrounding community. 

In lieu of our tangible expressions of service, this year we would love for you to pray specifically for one of the community organizations that we serve on Serve Day each year. This can include but is not limited to, praying for their work, staff, and the populations they serve. 

Please plan to offer prayers throughout the day on Wednesday, Sept. 9, as the Holy Spirit directs you.

If you would like us to match you with a partner site, please email us at spirituallife@georgefox.edu. Make sure to be on the lookout for more virtual service opportunities from the Office for Spiritual Life in the near future!

Student Activities will be hosting a Clocktower Jams scavenger hunt every Friday through the end of the month. Starting today (Friday), an object will be hidden somewhere on campus for you to find.

We will give three hints throughout the day starting at 5 p.m. via Instagram. You can also sign up for hints via email using this link.
