The Daily Bruin

Tonight (Monday) at the Chehalem Cultural Center, designer Kathy Mueller will be speaking about her life as a designer and educator. She is practicing in Philadelphia and teaches at Temple University School of Media & Communication.

Mueller’s work has been acknowledged by organizations that include AIGA, Art Directors Club and Type Directors Club, and it has appeared in PRINT, Applied Arts, HOW Books and Rockport publications.

Join us tonight from 6 to 7 p.m. in the ballroom of the Cultural Center (415 E. Sheridan St.)!

You are invited to attend and help spread the word for a six-week leadership workshop that is being hosted by athletics. 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. 15 – Neal Ninteman on “Exploring Leadership and How to Get and Keep Yourself Motivated”
• Sept. 22 – Marty Hunter on “Confidence and Composure”
• Sept. 29 – Maco Hamilton on “How to Conduct Yourself With Class and Servant Leadership”
• Oct. 13 – Mike Meek on “How to Inspire Your Team and How to Build Winning Team Chemistry”
• Oct. 20 – Branden Thompson on “How to Get Your Teammates Back on Track”
• Oct. 27 – Jessica Hollen on “How to Manage Team Conflict”

All sessions take place from 8:40 p.m. to 9:40 p.m. in Hoover 102.

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.

Thursday, Sept. 15, is our first session. We would love to see you there!

Probably most important … there will be snacks!

Would you like to help others learn through one-on-one tutoring? George Fox has partnered with Tutor Matching Service to provide a platform for students to sign up as a potential tutor for other George Fox students or local community members.

Tutors set their own rates and make arrangements for meeting times and locations. If you’re interested in serving as a private tutor, go to the Tutor Matching Service page and follow the instructions at the bottom of the page. The service is independent and is not supervised by George Fox University, but can be a helpful resource for our students.

Are you an undergraduate female considering vocational ministry? Each month we grab lunch together – undergrad women considering professional ministry and faculty/administrator women who have been in professional ministry for a long time. It’s really casual and a fun way to connect with each other.

If you’d like to be a part of this on a regular or semi-regular basis, email University Pastor Jamie Noling-Auth (jnolingauth@georgefox.edu) and we’ll add you to the invite list so you know when we are gathering and where we’ll be.

Courtesy warning tickets have been issued to tell you to register or that you are incorrectly parked, and real tickets will now be issued on Monday. If you haven’t yet registered, you need to do that immediately and print out the temporary permit from the link that will be emailed to you, then place it on your dashboard until your permit arrives to the mailing address you indicated.

If you registered and never received a confirmation email or link for a temporary permit, please come to the security office so we can check to see if your registration went through and is in process. A copy of the parking brochure will arrive with your actual permit, but please check this link to make sure you are parking where your permit allows.

If you have a new car that doesn’t have its new plates yet, register the temporary trip permit number in the license plate field, and when your new plates arrive, email the license plate number to Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu and she can override the database and input them on your registration.

Questions about registration or where to park? Call 503-554-2090 during office hours or email Nadine and we’d be glad to answer your questions!
