The Daily Bruin

This is the final call to all singers, bands, spoken word artists and podcasters who would like to be part of our Student Mixtape Project! We are passionate about giving George Fox students a chance to “Be Heard,” so contact us today if you’d like to be a part of it!

All it takes to get involved are two simple steps:

1. Fill out this survey so we can learn about who you are.
2. If you would like a free hour of studio recording time, after the survey, we will send you an Excel sheet to sign up for your session. If your audio track is already mixed, please send it directly to Paige Patterson at ppatteson13@georgefox.edu.

Who are we?
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.”

Do you enjoy and excel at being organized, detail oriented and friendly? Do you want to work in a positive environment where you do tasks such as filing, computer work, processing forms and customer service? Would you enjoy working in an office where you can work independently and are entrusted with detail-oriented projects and tasks?

If this sounds like a good fit for you, consider applying for a job in the registrar’s office! Find out more and apply on Handshake.
