Once again, the Global Leadership Summit, a national program designed to help students embrace the leadership roles that God has called them to, is taking place Aug. 6-7. And although George Fox isn’t serving as a sponsor this year, students are still encouraged to participate. More information is available at willowcreek.com/summit.

Roommate wanted

Monday, June 1st, 2015

I’m looking for a roommate for this upcoming school year. I have found a place to live that has very affordable rent, but I would still like a roommate. Rent cut in half is very cheap and it’s a really nice place. It is only three blocks from campus located behind the cultural center. If you have any questions, big or small, please email me.
