The Latinx Heritage Club and Psychology Club invite you to share your take on the theme “The Struggle Beneath the Surface.” Share your story with us at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 5, in Hoover 105.

Why this theme?

This event will be during Cesar Chavez Week. Chavez was an activist who understood the harsh working conditions migrant workers experienced and the hardships they faced. He was a hero because he fought for better working conditions and pay. Most importantly, he took a stand, combining his personal convictions with the genuine interest of the public against oppressive forces.

These oppressive forces can manifest in many forms: discrimination, poverty, internal struggles, etc. Sometimes liberation happens through speaking out about the raw personal struggles we all endure behind closed doors. The moments we make ourselves vulnerable are terrifying; however, it is in these moments we can relate and come together as a community.

In light of this, Spoken Word will center around the theme “The Struggle Beneath the Surface.” Everyone has a past and has struggled to be who they are. We would like to give individuals a shot at performing poetry to achieve catharsis and a form of personal closure.

At the end of the night we hope our audience will leave with a greater awareness and understanding of “the struggle beneath the surface.”

Want to perform? Email Stephanie Garcia-Cruz (sgarciacruz14@georgefox.edu) by Wednesday, April 4, with your bio (three to four sentences about yourself).

Help homeless students in the Newberg School District by donating your old backpacks between March 19 and March 23! You can drop them off in the Stevens Center, the Hoover Academic Building, Canyon Commons or the Bruin Den.

The George Fox Student Mixtape Project is a collaborative student project that started back in the early 2000s. It was revamped last year through KFOX Radio to produce 400 student mixtapes that were given away on Dead Day. With the help of ASC, we plan to produce 800 free mixtapes for the student body featuring selected works and release the entirety of all submissions online.

Be a part of George Fox history, and “Be Heard.”
