Calling all athletes: Swing by Wheeler Monday to assist in Senior Seminar project

Thursday, November 8th, 2018

Attention all George Fox athletes: We are conducting a research experiment on Monday, Nov. 12, from 1 to 5 p.m. for our Senior Seminar project, and we need your help! All you need to do is swing by Jill and Saiko’s office in Wheeler before or after practice Monday afternoon and fill out a quick survey.

Our research topic looks at the correlation between mental health and concussions. Collecting data like this could help further our understanding of concussions and help tell us whether there needs to be more measures taken to protect young athletes from the repercussions of the injury.

All information collected will remain completely confidential, and this should take only a few minutes to complete! If you are not aware, Jill and Saiko’s office is located in the back hall of Wheeler downstairs, just past the athletic training room and the ice bath room.
