Join Bruins LEAD tonight (Thursday), Oct. 20, to hear men’s golf coach Branden Thompson speak on “How to Get Your Teammates Back on Track.â€
You don’t have to be an athlete or coach to be part of Bruins LEAD. It is simply an opportunity to develop your leadership skills. We will take basic leadership concepts and spend one hour diving into details of how to develop responsible and respected leaders.
Each week, you will get to hear from one of our coaches on the following topics:
Oct. 20 – Branden Thompson on “How to Get Your Teammates Back on Trackâ€
Oct. 27 – Jessica Hollen on “How to Manage Team Conflictâ€
All sessions take place from 8:40 p.m. to 9:40 p.m. in Lemmons 8.
While some of the content may be specific to athletics and teams, we feel strongly that every person will end up working in a team at some point in their lives, and this information can be relevant for everyone on campus.

Tomorrow (Thursday) Oct. 20, at 10:20 a.m., the university will participate in The Great Oregon Shake Out, an exercise designed to test the school’s emergency notification systems as well as create dialogue among the George Fox community on how to be personally prepared should an earthquake occur.
Final Tip:
Preparing for disasters can be done over a period of time. Three days’ worth of supplies is a good start and helpful in the event of short-term power outages or temporary evacuation. But a large earthquake and tsunami will leave much of the area’s transportation routes destroyed, making assistance and delivery of supplies difficult to impossible.
Oregonians will have to count on each other in the community, in the workplace and at home in order to be safe until responders can reach them. It is recommended that families, neighborhoods and communities strive to be self-sufficient for two weeks.
After you Shake Out tomorrow, join us at https://www.facebook.com/2WeeksReady/ to learn more about getting your family, neighborhood, and community “Two-Weeks Ready.” The page will be rolling out new information each week.
