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!

Join the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program for a “Diversity Dialogue” centered around veterans. The event will take place on Thursday, April 9, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Stevens 209.
We will be welcoming two licensed clinical social workers who work at the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) to provide information on how to support veterans as they learn about and access VA benefits.
We’ll also have a veteran share about their experience transitioning from the military into civilian life, and briefly discuss aspects of military culture.
Finally, part of our discussion will focus on resources at the VA, such as mental health support, supportive housing services, holistic health options, and the financial benefit COMPACT Act, which is for veterans in an acute suicidal crisis.
We’ll have plenty of information materials to share. We hope to see you there!
