Did you know Oregon has been in a drought for the past 23 years? One place you can help conserve water is in the bathroom. The average toilet flush uses 1.6 gallons of water. Now, we can’t tell you to go to the bathroom less, but you can make an impact in other ways.

The typical shower head uses 2.5 gallons of water per minute, the average shower takes eight minutes, and the water usage per shower is 20 gallons. How long is your average shower? One way you can reduce your shower time is to listen to two to three songs and then get out.

The Maker Hub’s wood shop is full of equipment to help with your next wood-related project! Our Laguna SmartShop II is a CNC wood router capable of cutting out complex shapes that would otherwise be difficult to create by hand.

Like all CNC machines, the SmartShop II is most useful when a design calls for a high level of precision. Check out this video of a CNC Router in action to make a studio desk! Visit the Maker Hub’s Wiki Page for more information.

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.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.

This is your last chance to join a Wilderness First Aid course happening the weekend of March 4-5 at the Hadlock Student Center! There are four spots remaining, so we recommend registering as soon as possible if you are interested.

The course is an excellent learning and practice opportunity for anyone that enjoys spending time outside or for those that work in an outdoor setting regularly.

Here is what a previous participant had to say about their involvement in the course:

“The WFA course allowed me to enter into my passions for outdoor recreation with confidence. The hands-on learning environment propelled me into a space where I became more equipped to introduce folks to the outdoors in a safe and welcoming environment. Thanks to this course, I have had opportunities to lead folks safely into the backcountry for the first time, which has been such a joy!”

For more information and to register, go here.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the director of campus recreation, AJ Heil, at aheil@georgefox.edu.
