The Daily Bruin

The Maker Hub has many welding-related machines, including the Miller Spot Welder. Resistance spot welding is a process in which contacting metal surface points are joined by the heat obtained from resistance to electric current.

The Miller Spot Welder is a lightweight unit that is portable, easy to operate, and excellent for welding mild, galvanized or stainless sheet materials. Check out this video to see how it works! For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki Page.

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.

Grab your friends and join us on Wednesday, Feb. 15, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. for a night of worship through art in the Canyon Commons conference rooms.

Attention sophomores!

The Office of Financial Aid will be having a presentation on “Paying for College” for continuing students. Sophomores, did you know your Stafford Loans can increase, you can still apply for external scholarships, and study abroad can be covered by financial aid? You won’t want to miss out on all the reminders you may have forgotten since freshman year.

There will be two different options for attending this presentation:

• In person, today (Wednesday) from 3 to 5 p.m. in Hoover 105. Sign up here.
• Webinar on Zoom, on Wednesday, Feb. 15, from 4 to 5 p.m. Sign up here.

The presentation will also cover many familiar topics, including scholarships, student employment, FAFSA information, professional judgments and more. We encourage students to attend one of these sessions so they can stay up to date on all things financial aid.

For more information on this presentation or if you have any questions, please reach out to the Office of Financial Aid at finaid@georgefox.edu or call us at 503-554-2302.
