Join Bruins LEAD tonight (Thursday) to hear Maco Hamilton, our men’s basketball coach, speak on “How to Conduct Yourself With Class and Servant Leadership.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:
Sept. 29 – Maco Hamilton on “How to Conduct Yourself With Class and Servant Leadershipâ€
Oct. 13 – Mike Meek on “How to Inspire Your Team and How to Build Winning Team Chemistryâ€
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.
If you were unable to attend the first two sessions, that’s OK! Join us for week three. Probably most important … there will be snacks!
Questions? Please contact Kelsea Meyers at kmeyers13@georgefox.edu.

The campus will look a bit different on Saturday, Oct. 1, as we expect to host about 3,000 guests for homecoming weekend and our football game against Whitworth University at 2 p.m. Here are some things to make note of:
Bauman Parking Lot

Entrances to the Football Game
There will be two entrances into the game and both are located in the Bauman parking lot, directly behind the stadium.
Wheeler Sports Center Closed
The Wheeler Sports Center will be closed from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. This means the basketball gym, racquetball courts and locker rooms will be closed. The Fitness Center will remain open for normal business hours, but you will need to enter through the hallway entrance located on the field level, toward the end of the building near the tennis courts. There will be security officers who will ask you where you are headed; just let them know that you are going to work out.
Bauman Walkway
The sidewalk located between the football stadium and Bauman will be closed. Please walk around the building and do not move the barricade.
Barricades
If you see a barricade, it is there for a reason. Please do not move them, jump over them, crawl under them, or unlock them.
Circle Parking Lot
The circle parking lot near Wheeler will be closed for the day. This space is reserved for officials to park in. Officials will arrive as early as 8:30 a.m.
Sideline Passes
No one will be granted field access without a sideline pass. Sideline passes are issued to those who are required to work and/or have official business during the game.
