The Daily Bruin

Look no further. This could be your next big break.

We are a small group of students shooting a film entitled Harold the Hitman for a Producing and Directing class project.  The film portrays the life of a quirky, aspiring hitman who is new to the job but can’t quite fit into his position.

These are the roles needed:

• Harold, adult male – Somewhat nerdy. Must be able to convey a lot with his face.
• Agent 700, adult male – James Bond type
• Hitman #1/Waiter, a male or female who is slick, professional, and collected.
• Hitman #2, a male or female  who is in control of situations, but somewhat loose.
• Hitman #3, a male or female who thinks he/she is in control, but isn’t.

Filming will take place during two separate weekends. Auditions will be held in the Media Center today (Thursday) from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Interested? Please email Marissa Beliel at mbeliel14@georgefox.edu for more information.

Urban Outreach needs compassionate and wonderful people who can drive to either Portland or Salem in a van. Drivers must be 21 or over and have some type of insurance. We want to hear from you even if you can only do it once.

The IDEA Center is hosting a session to help students create a LinkedIn profile today (Thursday) from 10:50 to 11:40 a.m. in the IDEA Center. For those of you who worked this summer and need to go through a skills extraction to update and optimize your LinkedIn profile, mark your calendars for Oct. 1 and 8.

Our goal is for every George Fox student to have a LinkedIn account. For freshmen, it’s your avenue to begin building a professional network. For students seeking internships and work, it’s a required profile in today’s job market.

For more info, stop by the IDEA Center on the first floor of the Stevens Center.

Faculty, please let your students know about this opportunity.

We have the opportunity to add a fireplace to the new dining hall that is currently under construction (which will be completed by next summer).

The fireplace would provide a communal space for students to have all-hours access and would be located in the Espresso Café area of the building (similar to the Bruin Den). It would include bench seating and would create an overall focal point in the dining hall. The fireplace would be able to be seen throughout the whole facility.

ASC wants to get your input! Would you like to have a fireplace in a space that is open for everyone to enjoy in the new dining hall? Let us know by e-mailing ascpresident@georgefox.edu or commenting on the ASC’s Facebook page!

Photos and rendering are available for viewing on ASC’s Facebook page.

For more information, we encourage you to attend our town hall meeting today (Thursday) at 7 p.m. in the Cap and Gown Room.

Contact ascpresident@georgefox.edu with any questions or concerns!

George Fox will welcome visitors from Indonesia on Thursday, Sept. 24, through the International Visitor Leadership Program, a U.S. Department of State-sponsored professional development program that works to create mutual understanding between citizens of the U.S. and other nations. Faculty and students are invited to meet our visitors from 3 to 4 p.m. in Roberts 117.

The IVLP program is focused on tolerance and diversity in education, and the project is designed to further the U.S. foreign policy goal in education cooperation. The visiting group includes Indonesian educators, administrators and policymakers involved in Indonesia’s Islamic education system.

Participants will examine how religious education institutions are mainstreamed in the United States and explore how religious and secular schools, along with faith-based and other civil society organizations, work together as a force for social harmony.
