The Daily Bruin

After much thought and consideration, Lehman Pekkola has decided to step down from his elected VP position for the 2016-17 year. You can you read his statement here.

This means that the position of VP of marketing & communications is now open. If you would like to learn more and/or apply for the position, click on this link. Due to the timing, and according to the ASC Constitution, this will be a hired position rather than an elected one.

As always, we strive to be open and transparent with all of you and are doing our best to make this a swift and smooth transition. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at asc@georgefox.edu.

Thank you
