We are committed to strengthening the military-connected community here at George Fox, including our veterans, active duty members, Guard/Reserve, and military families. To do that well, we want to create events and resources that truly matter to you. Will you help us build the right things?

Finals, major projects, and end-of-semester obligations are quickly approaching. Week 12 brings intense pressure, and increased stress and anxiety are normal.

If you notice a traditional undergraduate student isolating themselves, showing signs of extreme stress, or struggling to manage the final academic push – or if you need support for yourself – use Fox360 to connect them (or yourself) with immediate help.

Submit a confidential alert or self-referral online here.

Remember:

• Concerns for traditional undergraduate students are handled by the Student Support Network.
• Concerns about graduate and AOD students should be directed to department chairs.

Questions? Contact Rick Muthiah at rmuthiah@georgefox.edu or Jere Witherspoon at jwithers@georgefox.edu.

Hello students! Hola estudiantes! We’re so excited to share that the Liberation Scholars Program is now hiring students to be mentors.

Our program, which will run June 21 to July 3, serves and empowers first-generation, Hispanic/Latinx high school seniors who are eager to learn more about college. It’s a great opportunity to guide students through the on-campus experience and learn more about higher education!

Join us at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 8, to hear from Jim Donald, former CEO of Starbucks, as he shares his insights on leading through change.

Donald will move beyond business theory to discuss the human element in a conversation he calls, “What They Don’t Teach You in Business School: Real-World Leadership for the Future.” This free event in Canyon Commons offers a masterclass in the human element of industry.

Donald will provide the “missing link” between classroom theory and the grit of “front-line” leadership – lessons he learned directly from legendary figures like Sam Walton, founder of Walmart. He will deep dive into an “old-school” playbook that validates the daily professional challenges of the modern age through the lens of a servant-leadership model.

Donald is a world-class executive and “Turnaround King” with a storied 50-year career in the retail and service industries. Recognized by the Best Practice Institute as one of the “Top 25 CEOs in the World,” he has held the top leadership mantle at some of the most recognizable brands in the world, including Starbucks, Albertsons, and Extended Stay Hotels.

For more information, contact Carly Reumann creumann@georgefox.edu.
