The Daily Bruin

Bruin Cards, formerly the Serve Day Discount Card, are available in both print and digital format! The printed card will be arriving in campus mailboxes this week for all Newberg students (undergraduate and graduate) and employees (staff, administrators, faculty and adjuncts).

Bruin Card discounts are now digital as well. By going to bruinboards.georgefox.edu, logging in with your MyGFU information, and clicking on “Special Deals,” you can reach the same discounts on the printed card and more!

The Bruin Card offers great discounts at 15 local businesses. You can use the card as many times as you’d like until it expires on Aug. 31, 2018. Not only will you receive great savings on your purchases, you’ll support local businesses. You must show your card or the ad on your electronic device at time of purchase.

Don’t have a campus box? Pick up a card at the Information Desk on the first floor of the Stevens Center starting this Monday.

During the fall semester, LIBA 100 students are invited to come to the Writing Studio at the ARC on the first floor of the Murdock Learning Resource Center (the library, same room as ARC) to meet with a writing studio instructor for advice on essay assignments, drafting and revising, portfolio preparation, timed writing assessment strategies, and so on. Students can also make appointments with their writing studio instructor through email.

The Writing Studio at the ARC is open in the fall semester (weeks 3-13) each Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon.

Kenn Willson was scheduled to perform his piano concert “Encounters with Bach” on Thursday, Sept. 21. This event has been postponed; a new date will be announced.

This Monday, Sept. 25, the university community is invited to a free presentation by educator and designer Silas Munro at Art Talk, a regularly scheduled gathering that showcases artists from all over the country. Join us from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Chehalem Cultural Center (415 E. Sheridan St.).

Munro engages multi-modal practices that inspire people to be the best versions of themselves in order to effect positive change on society as a whole. His design studio, Poly-Mode, primarily works with cultural institutions and community-based organizations. These collaborations have led to everything from information design of NYC Public City Schools, graphics for protesting activists at Housing Works, publication design for Jacob Lawrence, and the identity of an entire formerly predominately Puerto Rican neighborhood.

A seasoned and dedicated educator, Munro’s pedagogy focuses on image making and typographic systems, expanded and inclusive design studies, our present experience ecology, and novel formats of design pedagogy. He serves as assistant professor of communication arts/graduate graphic design at Otis College of Art and Design, and as guest advisor in the MFA Program in Graphic Design at Vermont College of Fine Arts.
