This is a reminder that students need to pay a $150 non-refundable housing deposit to participate in housing selection for the 2015-16 academic year. After housing assignments have been made this deposit will be held and applied toward future charges.

Housing deposits can be paid in Student Financial Services (SFS) on the first floor of the Stevens Center through March 19. Before you pay you should be aware of the following:

1. Your student account must be paid in full. If on a payment plan, your February payment (or March payment if after March 1) must be received and any amount not covered by your payment plan must be paid.
2. Regardless of who pays the deposit, each student must stop by SFS. If the deposit is accepted you will receive a Housing Deposit Confirmation slip. This slip is needed as a record of payment.
3. A payment received in any other way won’t be processed as a deposit, but instead will overpay the account or be applied toward the next monthly payment. SFS routinely refunds over-payments, so if you get a refund check you are not expecting please stop by to confirm the status of your deposit.

For additional details about the selection process or the housing deposit, please visit the Housing and Residence Life website or email housing@georgefox.edu with questions.

Interested in helping out your fellow students? The Art and Design Department is looking for volunteers to help out with hosting a fashion show on Friday, March 13!

Questions? Please contact Erika Muir at emuir12@georgefox.edu.

Join us today (Friday) to hear Hans Boersma, the J.I. Packer Professor of Theology at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia, at 4:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.

The free presentation is entitled “Why We Need an ‘Other’ Reading: Or, Why We Ourselves Are the Ones Taking the Exodus Journey,” in which he will offer a defense of allegory as a method for biblical interpretation, following early Christian authors such as Melito, Origen and Gregory of Nyssa. The talk is aimed at both scholarly and popular audiences who are interested in biblical interpretation and the history of Christian thought more generally.

Boersma has been at Regent since 2005 and taught for six years previously at Trinity Western University in Langley, British Columbia (1999–2005). He has also served as a pastor for several years (1994-1998) and is the author of several books.
