The Daily Bruin

A group of students is organizing a gaming session on Discord to play Among Us!

Among Us is an online party game full of fun, hilarious hectic battles of persuasion. As a crewmate, complete tasks with your fellow astronauts — but watch out! Impostors are hiding among you, sabotaging your ship, and killing off your crew. Catch them if you can. As an impostor, try to eliminate as many as your teammates as possible without getting caught!

We’ll all meet in Discord for voice chat at 7 p.m. on Oct. 17, and then break into individual games from there. You can find more information and RSVP here.

Questions? Contact Zach Cogswell (ZCogswell18@georgefox.edu).

The 2020 George Fox Political Civility Project continues, looking for ways to counteract increasing polarization and alienation in American politics. 

This Monday, Oct. 19, professors Mark Hall and Phil Smith will debate about whom we should vote for in the U.S. presidential election. Attendees will be invited to use the prototype Political Civility inventory to assess levels of civility in the debate. They will also hear a brief report on how the vice-presidential debate, and perhaps others, fared in terms of civility.

Attendees will also be given a chance to comment on what next steps our university should take to promote peacemaking in politics. 

The event is open to the public via Zoom (link available later this week). Students are invited to attend the event live in Bauman Auditorium.

In compliance with social distancing regulations, when the room reaches its 100-person COVID capacity, any others who arrive will be directed to join those attending (including any off-campus guests) via Zoom.
