The Daily Bruin

Is there someone at George Fox University who has made a difference in your college experience? Someone who ignited a spark that made you want to learn more than you thought you could, someone who walked alongside you during a difficult season, or a person who has been a mentor?

Take a moment to write an email, e-card, or traditional “thank you” card to that professor, RA, tutor, supervisor, or another influential person. Try to be specific as you describe how this person has contributed to your life.

Students in Newberg can stop by the ARC or Bruin Den to pick up a blank card while supplies last!

A team of students from Stephen Winterberg’s Social Change class is asking for your input about Native American culture, events and experiences at George Fox.

Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey. All George Fox students, faculty and staff are welcome to participate. We appreciate your insights and look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks!
