The campus community is invited to the next installment of the “Islam and the West” Liberal Arts and Critical Issues series this Monday, Sept. 8, in Hoover 105.

The session runs from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. The same session is presented from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m.; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.

Hello students! Are you wanting to get involved on campus? Do you enjoy sharing with prospective students about how much you love Fox? Become a George Fox Ambassador!

We have three different ways that you can be involved:

• University Ambassador: A group of students who represent Fox to visiting prospective students and families by volunteering 2 1/2 hours each week, hosting lunch and chapel, and greeting and directing people at events.
• Overnight Ambassadors: Students who host prospective students overnight in the dorms throughout the week and for larger events.
• Floor Leaders: Our “go-to” students during events who help coordinate overnight visits and help recruit their fellow floormates to host.

If you would like more information about ways to get involved with Ambassadors, feel free to stop by our table at Serve Day today! You can also email Keisha Gordon at kgordon@georgefox.edu for more information. We couldn’t do it without you!
