• Beef requires 463 gallons of water
• Almonds require 483 gallons of water
• Chocolate requires 516 gallons of water

This is what’s called a water footprint. A water footprint is the amount of water it takes to create a food product for human consumption. To make a difference, try swapping in foods with smaller water footprints. Check out the water footprint of different food items, and your overall water footprint.

• Be mindful of guests in your housing area. We will have housing tours circulating through Edwards, Gulley, Pennington, HMS, and Brandt from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tour groups will be viewing dorm lobbies and a room on the first floor of each dorm.
• Plan for a busier-than-usual Canyon Commons. Guests will be going through the main server line and will be encouraged to dine in CCD 101-103. If you see a family looking for a spot to sit, invite them to join you!

Questions? Email visit@georgefox.edu or call Lauren Hill at 503-554-2245.

The Maker Hub’s Ortery PhotoBench is a device that enables users to take still photos, 360 photos, and videos of various products and items on flat white backgrounds. The photo table is perfect for creating professional-grade product photos for projects and presentations. Check out this video to see how it works!

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.
