Healthcare practitioners often encounter patients in moments of pain and suffering. These experiences call for various kinds of responses, ranging from biotechnological or pharmaceutical intervention to social advocacy, personal accompaniment, or spiritual care.

Join us as our panelists discuss how Christian faith and practice informs their understanding of and response to pain and suffering in healthcare. The panel, “Afflicted: Theological & Medical Perspectives on Pain & Suffering”, will be held in Canyon Commons 101 from 4:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday, April 19.

Participants will be Erika Barber (George Fox University), Brett McCarty (Duke University) and Patrick T. Smith (Duke University). The event will be moderated by Daniel Kang (George Fox University).

Contact Jonelle Retsema at jretsema@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

Good morning, business majors and minors!

We are very excited to announce we’ll be having an “interest gathering” for the Business Club that will be officially starting up in the fall. This event will be a “soft launch” for the club, where we’ll eat some food, remember and celebrate the finish to the year, and interact around the club’s purpose.

If you want a place to celebrate your hard work this year with your peers, come join us. If you want a place to meet people, make connections heading into the summer, and invest in the community of the College of Business, please come. And if you could just use a slice of pizza and a popsicle to cheer you on before finals, you should come, too.

Please RSVP here to let us know you’re coming.

• When: Thursday, April 20, at 6 p.m.
• Where: Hoover 105
• Who: All business majors and minors are welcome
• What’s (for dinner): Pizza and popsicles
• Why: Come meet people, look back on and celebrate the year, and be a part of new community connections in the making! This is a launchpad to holistically invest in your peers and be grown and encouraged in return.

Contact Peter Nordlund (pnordlund20@georgefox.edu), Kelly Schmidt (kschmidt@georgefox.edu) or Kara Grant (kgrant@georgefox.edu) for more details. We look forward to seeing you there!

It’s not too late to join in the excitement of Bruins vs. Foxes!

You can join at any time this week before the game ends Friday, April 14. However, the longer you wait, there will be fewer opportunities to earn points and more Foxes to evade. Learn more and sign up today!

Bruin Preview is today (Friday)!

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is hosting about 600 visitors for the event. We are asking George Fox students and employees to help extend the Be Known promise throughout the day. Here’s what to keep mind:

• Use street parking instead of campus parking lots. Guests will be arriving on campus between 8 and 8:30 a.m., and will fill all the main campus parking lots.
• Be mindful of guests in your housing area. We will have housing tours circulating through Edwards, Gulley, Pennington and HMS from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tour groups will be viewing dorm lobbies and a room in each dorm.
• Plan for a busier-than-usual lunch in Canyon Commons. Guests will be going through the main server lines and will eat in the main dining area. If you see a family looking for a spot to sit, invite them to join you!

If you have questions, email visit@georgefox.edu or call Lauren Hill at 503-554-2245.

The 2023 Bruins vs. Foxes game opens at midnight Monday morning! Are you prepared?

This is an epic game of infection-style tag that is played throughout the whole week and all across campus. Players complete challenges and try to earn the most points by the end.

To succeed, you will likely need strategy, luck and your trusty socks (see rules for explanation). This experience is a campus favorite, so don’t miss out! Learn more and sign up here.

If you have any questions, reach out to James Marcelia at jmarcelia19@georgefox.edu.

In the Office of Student Life, we are continually evaluating ways in which we can better serve and address the needs of students. We seek ways to help students maintain their mental health and well-being while at George Fox.

We are asking you to take a few moments to complete this anonymous survey that will provide us with more information about individual mental health needs, experiences with current mental health services, and preferences for the mental health services offered on campus.

The survey results will be used to inform the development of potential new mental health programs and services tailored to meet the needs of individuals in our community.

After completing the survey, you will have the opportunity to be entered in a drawing to win one of four $25 Amazon gift cards. If you have any questions or would like to provide further information, please email Sharia Hays to schedule an appointment. Thank you for your time and insight.

This survey is an active collaboration between Sharia Hays, EdD, dean of student care and operations, and the university’s PsyD consult, education and program evaluation II team; Joel Davies, MA; Dennis Kurtz, MA; Liberty Lillibridge, MA; and Hunter Schow, MA.

If any questions or concerns arise, feel free to reach out to Sharia Hays at shays@georgefox.edu.

In partnership with OLLI, the Osher Life Long Learning Institute at the University of Oregon, the university is presenting a two-part series of talks for our local senior (55-plus) community.

OLLI is a national initiative that aims to provide enrichment programming because learning continues across the lifespan. Starting at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, April 11, Professor Jason Lepojärvi, director of the CS Lewis Initiative at George Fox, will give a talk on The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis. He will lead a Q&A after his initial presentation. To register, please go here.

The event will be live-streamed on Zoom and hosted in Canyon Commons 103 with light refreshments.

If you know someone in the senior community who would enjoy this event, please pass word their way. We hope to see new and returning faces from the community.

Questions? Contact Shawn Daley at sdaley@georgefox.edu.

Have any aches or pains? Interested in improving mobility? For the month of May, doctor of physical therapy faculty and students will be evaluating and treating patients for free!

You do not need to have a pre-existing condition. We want to help you reach your strength, flexibility and functional goals! We have a few more spots available and we would love to serve you.

Please contact Li-Zandre Philbrook at lphilbrook@georgefox.edu or call 503-554-2456 to sign up.

The Maker Hub’s Injection Molding Machine by LNS Technologies is not as scary as it sounds. Located in The Vault, this machine is used to heat up plastic and inject it into a mold. This machine is primarily used to make prototype parts or a low-production of parts due to the machine’s size. Check out this video to see how it works, and visit the Maker Hub’s Wiki page for more information.

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
