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.”
Grab your friends and prospective students and come load up on snack food and watch The Incredibles at 7 p.m. this Thursday, Feb. 8, in EHS 102.
