The Daily Bruin

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!

To learn more, visit this page. To apply, visit Handshake and search for “Summer Residential Teaching Assistant.” For additional support, please email Dahiana Padilla at dpadilla@georgefox.edu.

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.

Do you want to better understand the controversy surrounding how elections are run in the U.S.?

Are you ready to listen to those who disagree with you so you can understand why?

Are you ready to help others understand your own views?

And do you hope our communities can be strengthened by how we handle our disagreements – and maybe thereby come up with better possible solutions and stronger relationships?

If so, come to our next “Community Conversations” session, themed “Let’s Talk About Elections: Free? Fair? Secure?,” from 7 to 8:30 p.m. this Wednesday, April 1, in Hoover 102.

This event is being cosponsored by George Fox and the local United as Neighbors group. Contact Ron Mock at rmock@georgefox.edu for further information.

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?

On Thursday, April 16, 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. Seating is limited inside Canyon Commons, so reserve your spot here.

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.

As summer approaches, do you need help with an interior design project for your home or business?

We have interior design students working on real-world projects all year long, and we’d love to help this upcoming summer on a project you’ve been thinking about and want to bring to life!

We can help with everything from drawings to sourcing finishes and furniture, or even just giving some advice on paint colors or ideas to consider. We can also work virtually, so even if your project isn’t in the Newberg area, we can still help.

If interested, please email Casey Martin at martinc@georgefox.edu to chat through how we can help on your upcoming project!
