The Daily Bruin

The National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) is hosting the 65th Annual Christian Student Leadership Conference, an opportunity for college students who care deeply about today’s pressing issues to learn and consider how to engage in public policy. The theme of this year’s conference is “Healing a Divided America.”

This year, the conference will be held virtually on two days, Feb. 8 and Feb. 15, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Pacific Time, and is completely free (a savings of $680). Students can register at NAE.net/cslc.

For more information, please email Jennifer at jhaglof@nae.net.

Seniors graduating this May are invited to participate in one of our four in-country “Seniors Abroad” trips in May. The four trips are as follows:

• Alaska
• Gulf States (ending at Disney World)
• Hawaii
• Puerto Rico

These will be run like a normal Juniors Abroad trip that lasts approximately three weeks in May. There will be no credit associated with these trips, and you will only meet several times throughout the semester to prepare for the trip.

The student’s cost is $2,200. Registration opens on Saturday, Jan. 23, at 8 a.m. online. This is a first-come, first-serve type of registration.

An email will be sent out to all seniors today (Wednesday) with further details and descriptions. If you do not receive this email and would like to participate in one of these trips, please contact Lynn Scott at lscott@georgeofox.edu.

Just a quick reminder to all AAC applicants: Your applications are due this Friday, Jan. 15, at noon. Interview sign-ups will be from noon to 5 p.m. following the deadline Friday. More info is available here.

George Fox commuter students who do not plan to bring a vehicle to campus for the spring term can request an exemption from being automatically charged the parking permit fee by completing the parking waiver form, available on this page.

This form must be filled out no later than Jan. 31, 2021, in order to be considered. Please read the waiver form thoroughly as you fill it out.

By signing this form you agree that you will not bring a vehicle and park on George Fox’s Newberg campus or the surrounding Good Neighbor areas (as specified in the parking policies) between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
