Let’s break the spectator attendance record at our very own Miller Gymnasium in the Wheeler Sports Center. Your Bruins, currently No. 2 in the Northwest Conference volleyball standings, will take on No. 1 Pacific Lutheran University. We are currently 11-3 in conference play, and have posted the most wins since 2002, clinching a spot in the first-ever NWC Championship Tournament!

Please make a note of this update: Our fundraiser for Safe Families for Children will be held at Saturday’s volleyball game rather than Friday’s.

At 6 p.m. this Saturday, Nov. 4, the Bruins will host Safe Families for Children at our home game against Willamette University. The game is free for volunteers, families and children in the Safe Families for Children Movement.

It is also a fundraiser to celebrate our families as they move into their own apartments; we want to bless them with some self-care items. We have created an Amazon wish list if you wish to contribute.

If you have any questions, reach out to Addison at arobertson21@georgefox.edu.

Come join us for trivia, snacks and friendly competition! Tonight (Thursday) at 5:30 p.m. in the FoxHole, biology and biochemistry students will come together and compete in a trivia showdown to win the “Golden Microscope” for their department.

In celebration of Native American Heritage Month (November), the Intercultural Resource Center has compiled a digital document for engagement this month.

We invite you to join us in learning from and witnessing the Gospel message through followers of Jesus in First Nations communities, citing passages from the First Nations version of the New Testament and the works of George Fox faculty alumni.

Additionally, every good Heritage Month involves getting together, so we will be hosting events here at the IRC (the Moore House), including a First Nations connection event on Thursday, Nov. 9, from 4 to 5 p.m., as well as a film screening of Indian Horse on Wednesday, Nov. 29, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.

We hope that these opportunities serve as a starting point for your celebration this month. As always, we want to hear and represent you, so if you have recommendations for celebrating this month and future cultural heritage months, please let us know by filling out this form.

Happy Native American Heritage Month, George Fox!
