The Daily Bruin

Need some help as a new semester gets underway? In an Academic Resource Center-sponsored workshop, “Mischief Managed: How to Start the Semester Off Well,” Rick Muthiah, director of learning support services, will cover topics that include how to manage your time, build relationships with professors and develop study strategies.

The workshop is scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday) from 10:50 to 11:40 a.m. in Hoover 105.

Questions? Contact Muthiah at rmuthiah@georgefox.edu.

Effective July 1, the MLRC and Portland Center libraries are now only accepting debit and credit cards to purchase print cards. No more digging in your pockets or wallet for that extra change to purchase a print card. You can now purchase the print card you need with your debit/credit card. The library will accept cash or checks for other library purchases.

All IT purchases are now paid with a debit or credit card. They not only accept your debit or credit card, but Apple and Android Pay is also available. So if you need a new ID card, power adapter or to pay for those unexpected repair parts, you will no longer need to provide cash or a check. Just put it on the card.

Please note: ID cards will no longer be charged to student accounts.

Questions? Contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu.

Please join us in honoring Creagh Schoen, our nurse practitioner, who is leaving George Fox after serving the students and greater George Fox community for more than 12 years.

The farewell gathering will take place at the International House tomorrow (Thursday) from 3 to 4 p.m. Join us in wishing Creagh well in her new adventure.

According to some polls (Department of Human Services, Oregon Health Plan, etc.), at least 25 percent of Newberg lies beneath the national poverty line. Helping those in need is a very special calling, but often goes undefined.

One way to give back to the community is by mentoring youth. Little Bruins is a youth mentoring program. Unlike in the past, George Fox is partnering with various agencies from the Newberg School District to provide multiple volunteer avenues to mentor youth, including:

• One-on-one
• Big Bruin/Little Bruin mentoring with elementary and middle schoolers
• MyZone middle school activity center, and
• AVID tutoring program for adolescents

If you are interested in giving back to the community and gaining valuable experience working with youth, come to the Little Bruins info session tonight (Wednesday) in Bauman Auditorium just after Vespers. You have the opportunity to make a real difference in these young people’s lives.

Contact Alexa Aldridge (aaldridge15@georgefox.edu) or Sean Robertson (srobertson14@georgefox.edu) for more information.

Due to the increased traffic caused by a detour on Villa Road, the traffic has increased on both Villa Road and Meridian Street. Please use extra caution when driving and crossing these streets!

Consider adding Technical Writing (WRIT 240) to your spring schedule. The class meets from 1 to 1:50 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Here’s a few reasons to add it:

• Technical Writing is an extremely practical course that will help anyone who plans to work in an organization (business, research, education, nonprofit) write more effective reports, letters, memos and emails.
• It will look good on your resume. Surveys tell us that effective writing skills are at the top of employers’ lists in the hiring process.
• The instructor, Gary Tandy, has 15 years of experience as a full-time and contract technical writer for business and educational organizations.
• While this class may have the most direct application to science, engineering and business majors, liberal arts or humanities majors can also benefit. The major writing project for the class can be tailored to your major or career interest.

Questions? Contact Tandy at gtandy@georgefox.edu.
