Please join the engineers-craftsmen of Portland Guitar on Tuesday, Feb. 18, from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Maker Hub for a night of guitars, science and art.
Acoustic quirks abound as a guitar’s sound is deconstructed and rebuilt. The inherent errors in the tonality among most notes and how to eliminate them will be demonstrated.
The presentation will be led by Jay Dickinson, who holds a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, more than twenty-five years’ experience in corporate physics and engineering positions, plus a lifetime of woodworking and artistic craftsmanship used to make guitars under the name Portland Guitar. Multiple examples of his work will be present for enjoyment after the presentation.

As service animals and emotional support animals become more common in public venues, a few guidelines will be helpful to promote positive experiences for students, faculty and staff within the George Fox community. These guidelines are intended to protect the rights and safety of all community members.
No one should interact with a service animal or emotional support animal unless given permission by the handler.
If any member of the George Fox community indicates he or she has an allergy or phobia to dogs and is affected by the presence of dogs on campus, please notify the Disability Services Office as soon as possible. We will work toward a solution that meets the needs of all involved.
The university allows emotional support animals in campus housing under certain conditions. Students must have approval from the housing office and the Disability Services Office prior to bringing an emotional support animal into campus housing. Emotional support animals are not permitted in university buildings except approved campus housing
This information, along with more details, is available at this link.
If you have questions related to a service animal or emotional support animal on campus, please contact Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu), director of Learning Support Services.
