The Daily Bruin

Have you ever thought about these questions:

“Why do people keep talking about diversity?”
Or maybe, “Where do I fit in this conversation?”
Or how about, “Why does color matter?”

Come to our “Colored White Panel” tonight (Tuesday). Hear from your fellow students, alumni, staff and others in a discussion around these topics. Have other questions? Bring them! There is time for you to ask your questions here!

The event will begin at 9 p.m. in the Cap and Gown Room.

Questions or concerns? Contact Sierra Brambila at sbrambila13@georgefox.edu or Amanda Kitz at akitz13@georgefox.edu.

Tonight (Tuesday) Quaere Verum members will seek the truth regarding diversity and race by attending the “Colored White Panel.” Come join us at 612 N. Meridian St. (Campbell House) for fresh soup, bread and a primer in order to prepare ourselves to learn more about this topic.

We’re meeting at 8 p.m. and then heading over to the Cap and Gown Room at 8:45 p.m. We hope to see you there!

Contact Corbin Gronvold (cgronvold12@georgefox.edu) if you have questions.

This survey is designed to gain a perspective as to whether or not college students prefer to have a physical copy of a textbook to use in their classes. All responses will remain anonymous.

The data collected will provide a foundation for a senior project idea to build a website designed specifically for college students to buy, sell or trade textbooks with other students across the U.S. This service would not only connect students with textbooks, it would provide an affordable option, as students would only pay a maximum fee of $15 (shipping included) to rent a textbook from another student.

The main goal of this survey is to see if students would be interested in using a website service such as this.

The same presentation will be made from 5 to 6 p.m. and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Horrific lethal violence engulfs America. Why is this happening? Can we do anything to stop it?  We cannot answer these questions if we focus only on overt physical forms of violence.  Culture, beliefs and ideologies shape and define acts of violence, including physical attacks and assaults on people’s humanity, personhood, dignity and sense of value.

We are not doomed to be violent by nature or genetics. Rather, incivility and violence are embedded in social, cultural and environmental factors. Can we truly love God, whom we have not seen, and practice incivility and violence against our brothers and sisters?

The theme for this semester’s LACI series is “Christianity and Pop Culture.” For more information, contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.
