The Daily Bruin

All are invited to participate in the university’s eighth annual International Photo Contest!

The contest, sponsored by the Office of International Student Development and Intercultural Resource Center, is open to all George Fox students and employees. Photos will be judged in three categories: people, landscape, and architecture and culture. All photos must be taken outside the U.S.

The prizes will be $50, $25 and $15 cash (for first-, second- and third-place winners) in each category. Participants may submit up to five photos total, with a maximum of three photos in the same category.

The top-10 finalists for each of the three categories will be hung in the Steven Center’s atrium for voting. Please send your JPG format photos to this link by Wednesday, March 6. Photo contest guidelines can be found here.

Join the College of Business’ visiting scholar, David Rawson, on Friday, March 1, from 5 to 9 p.m., when he will be signing copies of his new book, Prelude to Genocide, at Chapters Books and Coffee (701 E. 1st St).

In Prelude to Genocide, Rawson draws on declassified documents and his own experiences as a United States ambassador to Mali and Rwanda to seek out what went wrong in the events leading up to the 1994 Rwandan genocide, in which 800,000 lives were lost. It poses the question, “What lessons might be learned from the failure of diplomacy in this historic tragedy?”
