Want a chance to learn about and represent a different culture? How about a chance to win $200? Volunteer to host a table at the upcoming “Global Village,” sponsored by the College of Business, on Tuesday, April 14!

The first six groups to sign up will be given $25 for supplies. Put together the coolest table decorations and information, and the student body will vote for the winner. Global Village brings together people from various cultures and countries in order to celebrate diversity, multiculturalism and global citizenship. For attendees, it’s a trip “around the world” without even leaving the campus. It provides guests with unique opportunities to experience a variety of cultures and taste their delightful specialties.

The mission of the event is to foster cultural understanding, international awareness and curiosity by learning about countries many of us might not be familiar with. All students are welcome to volunteer and choose any country to represent, but there is a limited number of tables. The event will begin at 7 p.m. in EHS.

Please contact Faith Stoneman at fstoneman14@georgefox.edu for more information.

The George Fox nursing and education team that recently traveled to Kenya invites the university community to a presentation about the trip from 3 to 4 p.m. on Monday, April 13, in Hoover 105.

This will be a time of hearing specific patient stories (some in the form of case studies), showing some of our pictures, and discussing a few of the ways we improvised the nursing/medical care based on the supplies we had available. We hope to show you more specifically how God was working through each situation and to encourage you to join with us in praying for the people we had the privilege to meet.

In January 2016, selected George Fox students will travel to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The Sundance festival is widely regarded as the most prestigious annual showcase for new work from American and international independent filmmakers. Alongside the Sundance Festival, George Fox students will also be attending the Windrider Forum, a venue for conversations about the intersections of faith and film.

We will be attending them during the final week of January. Attending students will be required to notify professors in advance of anticipated absences and create appropriate academic work plans. Personal costs for students will most likely range from $600 to $700 (not including food and incidentals).

You do not need to be a CMCO or COMM major to attend. Applications from all full-time George Fox undergraduate students will be considered.

During the Spring 2016 semester, CMCO 285/485, a selected topics course, will be offered on “Independent Cinema,” and will connect to the Sundance trip experience. Students will have the option of registering for this course to receive credit connected to the Sundance and later semester experiences. However registration in the course is not required for Sundance attendance.

To apply to attend the Sundance festival, please complete the Google form at the following link.

Questions? Please contact Professor Steve Classen at sclassen@georgefox.edu.
