The Daily Bruin

All are welcome to attend IRC’s upcoming panel featuring three women leaders in STEM. Our guests will speak on their valuable experience in hopes of sharing wisdom to others in their field.

Join us in Stevens 208 this Wednesday, March 20, at 6 p.m. to hear from this panel! Check out the short bios provided to learn a bit about our speakers.

Gladis Reyes is a George Fox alumna and was recipient of the Act Six scholarship. She currently works at OHSU as a core scientist and plans to pursue a graduate degree in chemical research toxicology, drug development, or nanomedicine.

Jamie Zuckerman graduated from George Fox with a degree in biochemistry and was captain of the swim team during her junior and senior years. She aspires to perform biochemical research that would significantly improve the quality of life for those who are impacted by illness.

Jennylin Lopez was born and raised in Arequipa, Peru. She finished a bachelor’s degree in ministry, then came to George Fox to get her bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. Growing up in the church, Jennylin served in many different spheres of ministry at a young age. One of her passions is seeing people encounter the love of the Father and hopes to see lives, families, cities and countries transformed by it.

We hope to see you there! Please reach out to Gaddiel Vergara at evergara22@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

Please join us for a lively night to help send George Fox’s Doctor of Physical Therapy’s (DPT) students to Uganda. The night will include dinner, dessert, and an abundance of items that you will have the opportunity to bid on via silent auction.

Come tonight (Monday) to hear former George Fox professor Gina Johnson’s assessment of South Africa’s truth and reconciliation process. Has injustice been remedied?

To find out, come to Hoover 105 at 6:30 p.m. to hear Dr. Johnson’s presentation. The event will be video recorded.

Apartheid in South Africa officially ended 30 years ago, leaving the country with questions about how to replace violence and stark injustice with a functioning democracy, inclusive of all the nation’s citizens.

South Africans turned to a new idea, utilizing truth and reconciliation commissions to expose the reality of apartheid while offering amnesty from prosecution or retaliation to those who told the truth about what they did. This approach was celebrated as a new and better way to deal with injustice and the stark social, political, and economic polarization it created.

Has it worked as hoped? Former George Fox professor Gina Johnson will help us answer that question. Come to Hoover 105 this Monday, March 18, at 6:30 p.m. to hear her presentation. The event will be video recorded.

Questions? Please reach out to Ron Mock at rmock@georgefox.edu.

What does it mean to be human? This year’s Dalton Lecture explores the question from both scientific and biblical perspectives, with an emphasis on awe. The lecture will identify shared values in both the scientific and spiritual approaches to exploring human distinctiveness.

Join us tonight (Thursday) at 7:30 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium for the lecture, “Stardust & Wonder,” with Dr. Praveen Sethupathy, chair of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Cornell University.

Dr. Sethupathy will include concepts from science and genomics that invite the audience to marvel at who we are and how it relates to our calling as image bearers of God.

The public is welcome, and admission is free. A George Fox Student Research Symposium and cookie reception will follow. Spiritual life credit is available to students who attend.

There will be an additional science lecture on pediatric cancer from Dr. Sethupathy this afternoon at 3 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium.

You can read more about the Dalton Lecture Series here.
