What kinds of interactions have had the most impact on your time here at George Fox? Have your staff and faculty at George Fox University made you feel “known”?

This survey is part of a Senior Sociology Capstone project, intended to highlight important relationships that students have with staff and faculty on the George Fox campus, allowing a space to evaluate and reflect on how they have made a difference in your life. You will also be given the opportunity to suggest ideas for change in these areas.

“Leave it all on the field!” This has been a mantra for all athletes and coaches in their competitive athletic events on the field. The question is, “What about off the field when an athlete is no longer able to compete?”

Practices, watching film, meetings with coaches, and studying stats have all helped athletes prepare for
obstacles on the field. What preparations do athletes make for off it? George Fox provides resources to athletes such as gyms, fields and specialty equipment to prepare for their sport. When it comes to preparing for a career, what resources does George Fox offer and do student-athletes utilize them?

Student-athletes, you have been asked to participate in this senior research project to help determine whether or not George Fox provides the proper resources to help student-athletes transition from sports retirement to a career life and if athletes utilize them or not.

The survey is made up of 25 required questions (marked by asterisks), four not required, and eight optional text boxes that will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

This survey is for a sociology major’s senior thesis project.

LGBT+ rights is a huge hot topic in the United States, and has been a topic of great interest on the George Fox campus. My research focuses on opinions in the following areas: opinions about the nature, the origins, and the social norms and laws regarding LGBT+, and there will be a few questions about respondent demographics.

Opinions on this matter may be divided on this campus, but which opinions prevail? How do the opinions relate to each other? This survey will take about 10-15 minutes.

Survey: LGBT + Acceptance

Thank you

Hello everybody!

For my senior research class, I have constructed a survey that addresses the following research question:

Does the use of social media affect the behavior and/or attitudes of citizens towards law enforcement officers?

It is my hope to get the attitudes and perceptions of law enforcement from students at George Fox regarding their own media usage.

It would be awesome if you would think about taking this survey (link below), as it will be very beneficial to my research. Thank you for your time, and have a great day!

What ethical dilemmas will arise in corporate communities with the emergence of artificial intelligence? The question will be addressed in a special university-hosted lecture presented by Mohan Nair, senior vice president and chief innovation officer at Cambia Health Solutions, on Wednesday, March 22.

Nair’s presentation, “Ethical Dilemmas to Community with Artificial Intelligence: Merging into a World Enabled by Artificial Intelligence,” begins at 7 p.m. in Hoover 105. There is no charge to attend, and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

The lecture is being presented by George Fox’s Office of the President and College of Business, and is the first installment of the university’s Reiten Lecture on Leadership Development.

Nair guides Cambia Health’s Innovation Force as it inspires ideas from a variety of sources, selecting execution-focused concepts and starting them on the path to new businesses or concepts. More on his background is available here.

This is the first Reiten lecture, named in honor of Richard G. Reiten, retired chairman and CEO of Northwest Natural. Reiten has served in a number of high-ranking capacities with Northwest Natural from 1996 to the present, including as chairman of the board and CEO, and is a former president of the Portland General Electric Company. Reiten and his wife Jeanie contributed the funds to endow the lecture.
