Have you experienced positive spiritual growth as a student at Fox? I would love to conduct a quick virtual interview with you regarding your experience!
I am looking for students of all denominations. If you are Quaker, non-denominational, Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, Presbyterian, or any other denomination, and are interested in expressing how Fox has helped you cultivate spiritual growth, please fill out this form.
The information collected will be intended for use in a feature for George Fox’s blog, “Bruin Blog,” overseen by the university’s marketing communications office. After filling out the form, you will be contacted to set up a time for a virtual interview.
By filling out this form, you are not guaranteed an interview, as there is a limited amount of spaces available. The goal is to depict how Fox encourages the growth of all denominations; therefore, you will not be turned away due to your affiliation with a specific denomination.
Thank you!
Please contact Anna Gallagher (agallagher17@georgefox.edu) with any questions.
