Want to engage with library faculty to thoughtfully provide feedback on the library experience? Want to build your resumé by playing a role in a collaborative group environment? We would love to connect with you! Consider applying for the Libraries Student Advisory Group.

What is the Libraries’ Student Advisory Group?
A group of students who, at library faculty request, will gather to provide input and discuss various issues concerning the libraries – anything from social media use to the design of our instruction programs and website. When the library faculty have questions about the student experience, the advisory group members will be our go-to resource!

Who is eligible?
Students who use the Portland Center Library or Murdock Learning Resource Center are eligible to apply. Meetings will be held in person in Newberg and accessible via Zoom for online/distance student group members.

Apply today at this link!

Contact Sarah Stevenson (sstevenson@georgefox.edu) for more information.

When people think of a typical college student, they think “sleep-deprived,” “overworked” and “stretched thin.” The old stereotype of college students surviving on minute-ramen noodles and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches can, however, be a real problem in college.

College hunger is a nationwide problem that affects about 20 percent of college students. Some students are struggling to have enough money for food even with jobs on campus. Research also shows that college student hunger can impact students from all socioeconomic backgrounds.

The student life department, in conjunction with Bon Appetit and other departments on campus, would like to understand the food needs of students at George Fox.

Please help us in determining the level of need by completing this short, confidential and anonymous survey. Note that there are also a couple local resources that are listed at the end of this survey.

The university’s Department of Biology invites you to a special guest lecture presented by Dr. Carlos Martinez del Rio, professor of zoology and physiology at the University of Wyoming, on Thursday, March 8, at 5 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Martinez del Rio has published more than 150 papers on physiological ecology and natural history and has received wide recognition for his substantial contributions to stable isotope ecology. He has explored how birds disperse mistletoe seeds, why hummingbirds can digest table sugar but robins cannot, and why variable temperatures make hawkmoths uncertain pollinators.

Most recently, he’s studied stable isotopes to find out how much white-winged doves depend on saguaros and why there are so few marine songbirds. The title of his presentation is “From isotopes to adaptive radiations: A cyborg’s perspective.”

This lecture is open to the university community and the public. Please contact the biology department (ext. 2710) with any questions.

The Game Night Club has switched to meeting every Monday between 7 and 8:30 p.m. in the FoxHole! All are welcome to join in on the food and games this coming Monday night!
