Calling all singers, bands, spoken word artists, and podcasters: The Student Mixtape Project is back, and we are passionate about giving George Fox students a chance to “Be Heard.”
Being a part of the mixtape only takes two simple steps:
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.”

The SpiL Shalom team invites the campus community to an on-campus worship event, “The Burn,” this Friday, March 9, from 6 p.m. to midnight in the Stevens Center. The music will continue all night, as led by 12 different student worship groups.
Our goal: To make intentional space for God to move and speak. What does it look like to worship God through the “highs and lows” … when we feel like it and even when we don’t… when we are happy and well fed and when we are tired/cranky?
In a world where we are so fast-paced and easily bored, it so critical that we learned the discipline of commitment, especially to the Lord our God! So, we are challenging students to commit to the entirety of the six-hour event to worship Jesus and sit in his love with expectancy. However, please feel free to come and go as you need, we are just encouraging students to challenge themselves and worship even when it gets uncomfortable.
We will also have some stations/communion available. There is so much potential to bring all of our groups together for a night of unity; we hope you will join us!
Contact Shea Krevi at skrevi15@georgefox.edu with any questions!

All are invited to the 2018 Spring Faculty Lecture tonight (Tuesday) at 6 p.m. in Hoover 105. Our featured speaker, and recipient of the 2016-17 Faculty Achievement Award for Graduate Research and Scholarship, is Jason Brumitt, assistant professor of physical therapy.
Brumitt’s lecture, “Can Preseason Performance and Fitness Testing Identify Athletes at Risk for Injury?,” will focus on a recent trend in sports science research to identify athletes at risk for injury based on measures of preseason fitness. His research has entailed collecting measures of preseason fitness and functional performance in collegiate athletes to identify associations between sport readiness and future injury.
Come early, between 5 and 6 p.m., and check out the work of our Richter Student Scholars and Steinfeldt Peace Scholars at a symposium in the Hoover lobby. George Fox students will present their research and peace projects in a conversational poster format.
Both events are sponsored by the Faculty Development Committee. Refreshments will be served.

To be known means that students not only learn new ideas, they share their own. To be known means to be heard.”
