The Daily Bruin

We will be holding our first official Pre-Physical Therapy Club meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8 p.m. in Roberts 201.

During our time together we will be hearing from a DPT student about the upcoming health week, and how we can participate. An additional reminder: Don’t forget to bring in your polo order forms if you have not yet given yours to one of the officers.

We are excited to see you all there! Questions? Contact Ashleanna Vos (avos15@georgefox.edu).

Our group from JOUR 310 (Professional Writing) class is doing a survey. We want to know your thoughts on having a series of book exchange stations around campus.

What is a book exchange station?
A book exchange station is an outdoor cabinet that holds donated books. You can swap a book that you don’t want anymore with a new book from the station. People can trade books with each other within the George Fox community.

Why have book exchange stations?
Having book exchange stations set up all over campus will bring more interaction and entertainment in the student community. Book exchange stations are a great way for students to meet new people, share stories that they like, and have a new book to read when not studying.

Book Exchange Stations Survey

Thanks!

All are invited to the 2017 Spring Faculty Lecture on Tuesday, March 7, featuring Craig Johnson, professor emeritus of leadership studies and recipient of the 2015-16 Faculty Achievement Award for Graduate Research & Scholarship.

Craig’s lecture, “A Walk on the Shadow Side of Leadership,” will begin at 6 p.m. in Hoover 105. Following is a synopsis:

“We will focus on the power leaders have to cast light or shadow over followers. They must take special care, ‘lest the act of leadership create more harm than good.’ Refusing to face the dark side of leadership makes abuse more likely. Exploring the destructive dimension of leadership highlights the ethical challenges facing leaders and equips us to illumine rather than darken the lives of others.”

Come early and enjoy the 2017 Spring Richter Student Scholars Symposium! It is scheduled from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Hoover lobby. George Fox student scholars, from both undergraduate and graduate programs, will present their research in a conversational poster format.

The event is sponsored by the Faculty Development Committee. Refreshments will be served.

Questions? Contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.

Ramos will describe how the American Dream plays out for her family, including her immigrant relatives, connecting their experience to sociological evidence revealing a larger picture of the promise of the Dream and its limitations for Latinos.

The theme for this semester’s LACI series is “The Future of the American Dream.” For more information, contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.
