The Daily Bruin

Join the Department of Economics and the American Enterprise Institute tonight (Wednesday) to screen a new documentary, The Pursuit, at 7 p.m. in Hoover 105. Cookies and beverages will be provided.

In it, professional-musician-turned-intrepid-economist Arthur Brooks travels around the globe in search of an answer to the question, “How can we lift up the world, starting with those at the margins of society?”

Arthur’s journey takes him through the chaotic streets of Mumbai, a town in Kentucky left behind by the global economy, a homeless shelter in New York, a street protest in Barcelona, and a Himalayan Buddhist monastery. Along the way, he discovers the secrets not only to material progress for the least fortunate but also true and lasting happiness for all.

For more information about the film, click here. RSVP for the screening here.

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.”
