The Daily Bruin

The admissions office is still in need of a few women’s rooms to host preview students for Bruin Preview this week! If you are a girl who lives on campus (dorm, house, apartment or suite) and are interested in hosting one or two preview students overnight on Thursday evening, please let us know!

Preview students will spend Thursday evening with you and leave you Friday morning after breakfast. This is a great opportunity to share with prospective students how awesome George Fox is and give them a taste of Fox student life! A free Chapters drink coupon is also included.

If you are interested in hosting, please contact Kelly Hughton at khughton@georgefox.edu.

Come engage in civil dialogue and good food with a panel and others at a new discussion series called Matheteis. Our first gathering takes place on Monday, April 11, at 5:30 p.m. in the Cap and Gown Room.

Matheteis is an event where we create space for civil discourse to current issues in society by exploring them from a biblical perspective. Our first topic for this discussion series is “Donald Trump: The Evangelical Conundrum.”

Why are so many Evangelicals supporting and voting for Trump? What is it about him that appeals to people, but particularly Christians? Follow this link to save your spot! For this first event, we only have 20 spots available, and there is a charge of $5 at the door.

This event is sponsored by the Intercultural Life Office and the Center for Peace and Justice.

Questions or concerns? Email Sierra Brambila at sbrambila13@georgefox.edu.

The evening event, at 7 p.m. in Hoover 105, is open to the community. Stuart will share real-life stories about his courageous work as a disciple of Christ serving the world.
