The Daily Bruin

Looking to get another chapel credit, eat pizza, and learn about how the field of quantum physics relates to the Christian faith? Join the science and religion club tomorrow (Thursday) at 5 p.m. in Hoover 103 to listen to former Professor of Chemistry Paul Chamberlain share his experience and knowledge with this complex field and his own faith.

RSVP here or email McKenna Tornblad (mtornblad14@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

You might be trying to connect with people who can get you a job or internship during the summer, but did you know your parents’ network is just as valuable? And you can access your parents’ network more easily if they have a LinkedIn profile!

Tell your parents to sign up for our “How to Create a LinkedIn Profile” webinar. We can help get their profiles started and optimized so you can network your way to your next job or internship! Your parents can register for one of the 5 p.m. sessions on Thursday, March 3 or Monday, March 7.  Just send them the link below, or ask if you can sign them up.

All are invited to a Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture tonight (Monday) when Mark David Hall, the university’s Herbert Hoover Distinguished Professor of Politics, speaks on the topic “Religious Liberty and Same-Sex Marriage: Conflicts and Possibilities” in Hoover 105. The same presentation will be made from 5 to 6 p.m. and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The legalization of same-sex marriage and the adoption of laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation have resulted in cases that may force some religious citizens to choose between their livelihoods and their religious convictions. Mark discusses potential and actual conflicts and draws from American history to argue that it is possible to protect religious liberty without undermining the common good.

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