The Daily Bruin

George Fox University’s yearbook publication is currently seeking passionate, collaborative and creatively minded photographers and writers to help make this year’s edition of The Student Collective.

If you are interested in joining the team, please take a few minutes to complete the application available on this website. The deadline to apply is Sunday, Sept. 24.

International Chapel has changed locations from last week. It will now be held in the Intercultural Resource Center (IRC), the same location where it was held last year. The time and day remain the same: Thursdays from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Joanna Cox will speak at tonight’s chapel on Psalm 42: “As the deer pants for the waters, so my soul longs for you.”

Are you a politically interested student? Do you have opinions on income inequality, immigration and legislating morality? Have you wondered about the future of the political right post 2016? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, join students from around the Pacific Northwest on Sept. 15-16 for a free weekend of conversation, debate, professional development and delicious food!

At the conference, seven thoughtful libertarians and conservatives from around the nation will address these three major policy areas and the future of the political right. Students will be invited to ask questions, discuss presentations and debate these issues with speakers and with each other. The conference will conclude with representatives from four major conservative and libertarian organizations describing programs, internships and scholarships they offer that can help college students jumpstart their careers.

You do NOT have to be a conservative or libertarian to come to this event, and students from all backgrounds and perspectives are welcome. We invite all students to enter into a robust but polite dialogue about these important issues as we look to the future.

Registration is free and includes meals! Travel scholarships are available for students traveling to George Fox University’s Newberg campus, so spread the word! For more details and to register, click this link.

Do you want to practice Spanish conversation? Bring your lunch to the Spanish table and practice speaking with Erick Torres. Erick will be the one at the table with the Maya calendar. This is casual and fun conversation without any pressure!

The table will be open between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. in Canyon Commons each Friday in September, as well as on Oct. 13, 20 and 27, Nov. 3, 10 and 17, and Dec. 1 and 8.
