It’s movie night in the Hadlock Student Center! The sociology department and the Stewards on Sustainability Club invite you to watch the documentary A Plastic Ocean at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 16.

Come learn more about plastic pollution, and if you want to know what you can do, stick around after the movie for a discussion. Snacks will be provided, but this event is “B.Y.O.B.” (bring your own bowl … and mug)!

We hope to see you there! Contact Kristina Peterson (petersonk15@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Please join us in the Canyon Commons banquet room for a Chinese dumpling event tonight (Monday) at 7 p.m. Come learn how to make dumplings and share in the festivities as we kick off our Cultural Celebration Week.

We hope to see you there! Contact Alex Pia (apia@georgefox.edu) or Elizabeth Anderson (eanderson@georgefox.edu) for more information.

All social work students are invited to come hear how the predominating messages about gender in evangelical popular culture are negative and limiting, both for women and for men. In this semester’s diversity forum, Melanie Springer Mock, professor of English, considers the source of these messages about gender, and why they can be so damaging, especially to young people seeking their vocations.

Join us at the forum tonight (Monday) from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in Stevens 209.

Melanie believes that evangelical culture’s focus on gender, sex and “biblical manhood and womanhood,” often premised on a misguided interpretation of Scripture, makes it especially difficult for women and men to live in the freedom and grace Jesus offers them.

The diversity forum will provide ample space to consider Christian messaging about gender; to ask questions about what it means for women and men to be created in God’s image; and to think together about how we can create a different world where our lives are not defined by gender roles or even gender identity, but by our own unique callings and gifts.

Questions? Contact Kim Rapp (rappk@georgefox.edu).

That’s what recent grad Brandon Tabbal did. Brandon graduated in 2011 with a degree in accounting and worked in public accounting for five years before being recruited by the Bureau.

Now, he’s involved in getting criminals off the street, focusing on white-collar crime like corporate espionage, embezzlement, fraud and tax evasion.

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.

Thank you for your help and willingness to participate!
