The Daily Bruin

Applications for May Term/Summer housing are now available to students on the student life website and in the student life office. Students have until April 25 to complete the application and return it to student life.

We are asking students to verify their employment by having supervisors e-mail housing@georgefox.edu so we can keep track of this information. As you hire summer workers, please notify the housing department.

Please refer to the 2014 Summer/May Term Housing Application for additional details. These are available online or in the Office of Student Life.

If you have questions, please stop by or call the student life office (ext. 2310) or email housing@georgefox.edu.

Thank you again for taking the time to reflect on your spiritual formation at George Fox University by taking our survey. If you have yet to fill out the survey, you can do so at this link.

If you would like one chapel participation credit for taking this survey, please include your name and ID number at the end of the survey. No effort will be made to connect name or ID number and survey response. You must complete this survey by midnight on Friday, April 4, in order to receive credit.

If you have further reflection that you would like to give, or if you would like to meet with one of the university pastors, please contact spirituallife@georgefox.edu.

Our final Students for Life event of the year is coming up at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 21 (location TBA). We will be having fun games as well as elections, and we need you to fill in some positions as others graduate. There are a number of positions you could run for, and most are pretty low-commitment; we know what it’s like to be crazy busy.

Find nomination info on our Facebook page.

While Cesar Chavez ended his 36-day fast for the rights of farm workers in 1988, we still have a broken immigration system afflicting workers, children, mothers and fathers. Because of the current system, families who have been brought together by God are being torn apart.

At the end of Cesar Chavez Week and on the anniversary of the day Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, SpIL at Fox and the Social Justice League of George Fox Evangelical Seminary will be joining the Fast for Families movement to fast for those families that are being broken apart and to pray for reform that will reunite them. Please consider joining us and giving up food for a day to fast for justice.

Instead of eating on Friday, April 4, we will be meeting for prayer during meal times at 8:15 a.m., noon and 5:30 p.m. in the Prayer Chapel to pray and hear directly from students who have more directly experienced our immigration system. What God has brought together, let no one break apart.
