The big toe is the last part of your body to leave the ground when you walk or run. The physical therapy research team is interested in knowing exactly how strong the muscles are that control the big toe. We are looking for volunteers who are willing to have their toe and calf muscle tested for strength using two, easy to perform measurements.

If you are interested in participating, please call Jamie at 503-803-8096 for further details. Let’s see what you can do!

Check out the creativity of our students on this year’s mixtape! All the songs are now on SoundCloud and available for download. All were created and performed by students.

Enjoy!

Security Services will start tagging bikes left on racks this Friday, May 11. This is to help us identify what bikes have been left behind so we can start the removal/storage process in accordance with the new summer bike policy.

We are asking that ALL students and staff who are riding their bikes this summer to please pick up an identification sticker at the security office starting Tuesday. This will ensure that your bicycle is not tagged as abandoned and we don’t accidentally impound your bicycle.

We are working on a new bike registration this summer with a group called “Bike Index” and will have all the information available before school starts. The best part is it’s free.

Thank you for your assistance in this project. Stickers available are between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Questions? Call 503-554-2090.

The OSAA-Oregon State Activities Association’s state choir competition continues in Bauman Auditorium all day today (Friday) and tomorrow. The event features high school choirs from all over Oregon. Approximately 8,000 people are expected to attend.

More information on this event is featured here.

Plant Services is hosting its annual Phase II event this week. At the end of every school year many students have good reusable items that they do not want to take home over the summer. These items often include blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, furniture, etc.

Items are open for viewing in the Macy basement today (Friday) from 8 a.m. to noon. After students and staff view these items, the remaining items will be donated to other local charities.

In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of our resources, Phase II was initiated. Many students have benefited from these items. For example, summer work-study students often find items they need for apartment living.

Questions? Contact Dwayne Astleford (dastlefo@georgefox.edu).
