The Daily Bruin

Hello fellow George Fox students!

What are your thoughts about the alcohol policy at George Fox? For my senior thesis, I am conducting research on undergraduate students’ attitudes and behaviors regarding alcohol and student drinking at George Fox. With this research, I hope to engage the George Fox community in an honest and open discussion about the current alcohol policy and its role at the university.

Please consider participating in my survey (link below). I would be sincerely grateful.

Survey: Drinking at a Dry University

Thanks!
