The Daily Bruin

The university’s doctor of physical therapy program is hosting a 50/50 raffle fundraiser to help raise funds for its Africa serve trip this summer. Purchase tickets at our table in the lobby or from students walking through the stands during the first half of the men’s basketball games on Jan. 11 and Jan. 15.

When you purchase a raffle ticket, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win half of the money raised from this event. The winner will be announced at halftime.

The two trips to Uganda and Ghana provide opportunities for students to serve a variety of populations and communities, while providing education to other medical students and professionals through the practice of physical therapy.

Thank you for your support and go Bruins!

We’d like to invite Newberg and surrounding communities to join us for a great night of basketball this Friday, Jan. 11, in Miller Gymnasium. The Bruins will host a doubleheader against conference opponent Whitworth University, with the women’s game tipping off at 6 p.m. and the men’s game at 8 p.m.

The George Fox women are ranked No. 12 in the nation and are currently tied with Whitworth atop the Northwest Conference standings. This game will go a long way toward determining the conference champion.

The men’s game will feature our 10-3 (4-0 in conference) Bruins, who are averaging 93 points per game. Whitworth’s men are ranked No. 7 nationally, and the two schools are currently tied for first in the NWC.

This is the best combined start of season for our programs since joining the NCAA. Complimentary tickets will be offered to anyone who provides proof of address in Newberg, Dundee, St. Paul and Sherwood by showing their license.

Contact Elise Trask (etrask@georgefox.edu) with any questions. See you at the games!

Kaiser Permanente has an excellent summer internship program in Oregon and Washington that offers paid positions for students in accounting/finance, mental health, IT, marketing, engineering and more!

Join us in Hoover 105 at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 15, to take advantage of this opportunity! George Fox students who attended these info sessions in years past will be coming to share their experiences as well.
