Free food. Now that I have your attention, we are looking for volunteers to help with the Spring Fashion Show hosted by the art and design department on Friday, March 24, at the Chehalem Cultural Center.
This is the LAST SHOW EVER and is sure to be great, as it is features the work of eight George Fox students and alumni who are eager to show off their design skills. Volunteers would show up at the Cultural Center at 6 p.m. to usher guests to their seats, help greet guests, and help with the tear-down portion of the show.
We are also looking for about three select volunteers who would want to help backstage with model management. To show our great appreciation for your help, you will receive a free meal as well as a free ticket to the show. This opportunity is also an excellent resume builder.
If you’re interested in helping at this grand finale event, or have any questions, please contact Erika Muir at emuir12@georgefox.edu. Thank you for your consideration!

The spring semester is well upon us and we have great news! The university’s Cycling Club is riding today (Saturday) at 2 p.m. We’ll meet in front of the Stevens Center. Forward this on to roommates and friends on campus if they don’t already get these notices.
Don’t love this weather? Well, we don’t mind much, but it does mean we don’t get out riding as much as we would like. We take careful consideration in group situations for routes and road conditions, and with this recent snow/ice/rain we haven’t been super excited about it. But as of late things have improved a lot!
