If you have your own mug, feel free to bring it and we will be happy to caffeinate you for the day. Swing by and learn more about our big end-of-the-year event happening on April 5. There will be food, music and some other exciting information to come.

You will also be able to sign up for a free senior T-shirt at our table. Keep an eye out because there will be some seniors already rocking the T-shirt around campus to give you a little preview.

Please take a moment to click here to nominate the student-athlete you think best represents George Fox’s “Be Known” promise through their athletic representation. The Bruin Award will be presented at the 2019 Georgies athletic award ceremony, open to everyone at 6:45 p.m. on Monday, April 15, in Bauman Auditorium!

To help guide you, here is a description of the “Be Known” promise:

“Be known means to be understood, valued, encouraged and uplifted. At George Fox, to be known means that professors and staff connect with students in authentic ways – personally, academically, spiritually – recognizing that we all come to this place with different backgrounds, life experiences and dreams for the future. To be known means that students not only learn new ideas, they share their own. To be known means to be heard.”
