George Fox will celebrate Dr. Pam Fifer’s memory with a service held in Bauman Auditorium tomorrow (Saturday) at 10 a.m. All are welcome to join us in honoring Dr. Fifer, who lost her battle with cancer on March 27.

As dean of the College of Nursing, she was a visionary leader who transformed the program through her pursuit of academic excellence, her commitment to mentorship, and her advocacy for the future of nursing education.

In lieu of flowers, her family kindly requests that donations be made to the Pamela J. Fifer Memorial Endowed Nursing Scholarship at George Fox, ensuring her passion for nursing education continues to inspire generations of students. Click here to donate.

What does it look like when two of America’s most brilliant and outspoken minds — one a conservative lion of natural law theory, the other a prophetic voice of the Black radical tradition — sit down not as opponents, but as brothers in Christ?

Tonight (Thursday), at 7 p.m., the university invites you to “Civic Friendship in a Polarized Age,” a rare and remarkable dialogue between Princeton’s Robert George and Union Seminary’s Cornel West.

Students have the option of receiving elective chapel credit for attending. The event, originally scheduled for Canyon Commons, has been moved to Bauman Auditorium. There is no fee, but we request you please reserve your spot using this form.

Rooted not in the tired theater of political debate but in a shared Christian faith that calls all people to love their neighbors across every divide, this conversation will explore what genuine civic friendship demands of us in this fractured moment. Come expecting not a clash, but a covenant — a living demonstration that the gospel has always been, at its heart, a politics of reconciliation.

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