Traveling with reporter Kristof and celebrity advocates America Ferrera, Diane Lane, Eva Mendes, Meg Ryan, Gabrielle Union and Olivia Wilde, the series introduces women and girls who are living under some of the most difficult circumstances imaginable – and fighting bravely to change them.

Support Love INC., the Newberg community and our George Fox business capstone project – all while getting the chance to win great prizes!

R. R.A.C.E. is a spring running event through Newberg that will benefit the community and bring it together through interaction with local businesses. R. R.A.C.E. is a unique endeavor that is a fun experience/event where participants can explore Newberg and potentially win prizes. The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 5, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The Event: The run will begin at Jaquith Park, where runners will be shown a map of participating businesses throughout Newberg. They will have an allotted amount of time to visit as many businesses as possible to collect a raffle ticket at each and return before the time is up. We will then raffle off prizes, so the more tickets the better your chances of winning!

All profits from R. R.A.C.E. will be donated to Love INC.

For more information or to buy tickets visit our website at this link. You can also “Like” us on Facebook.

At this point in the semester you should have around 7 chapel credits. To check on the status of your chapel credits, please check your MyGFU (under “students resources” and then “chapel”; you will see a list of all events with a check next to every event attended. Your requirement and amount of credits still needed is at the bottom of this page).

There are 14 more events for credit this semester, and as a reminder you may earn up to 5 of your total credits from chapel electives. We are always adding electives to our list. If you have podcast permission granted through a chapel waiver form, remember you can watch podcasts for credit.

Questions:

What’s the policy?
All undergraduate students who have fewer than 93 accumulative credits and are not 23 by the beginning of the 2014 spring semester must earn 15 chapel credits by Friday, April 25. An overview of our deficiency policy and explanation of where to find the podcast and the chapel credit form are found on your MyGFU account.

I went to chapel but my credit isn’t showing up?
If you went to a chapel event but your credit isn’t showing up you may send us a summary of the chapel at spiritaullife@georgefox.edu with you ID number.

Why do I need to go to chapel, I’m a senior?
If you are a senior, in order for the system to recognize you as a senior you must have 93 accumulative credits. You must not actually have 93 credits prior to this semester. Good news! If you are a fourth-year student we just need you to request that the registrar’s office sign a waiver form clarifying this is indeed your fourth year. Here is the waiver form.

If you have any questions, please email our staff at spirituallife@georgefox.edu or stop by our office at the corner of Sheridan and Meridian.

Enjoy this beautiful day!

Are you cold and wet because you can’t remember where your hoody, raincoat or umbrella wandered off to? Did you reach for a drink of water after that workout only to realize your water bottle is AWOL?

If this describes you, your missing items might have been turned in to the lost and found located in the security office. Please come by during office hours or call 503-554-2090 to see if your lost items have been turned in. If they have not been turned in, we will collect the info about your missing items and add them to our list.

Better yet, write your name on your water bottles, jacket tags, etc. so we can notify you when your lost items are turned in.

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.

Questions? Contact Paul Otto at ext. 2676 or potto@georgefox.edu.

Make plans to join us for the university’s Spring Faculty Lecture, “Miley Cyrus, the Google Algorithm and the New Epistemology,” presented by Ken Badley from our education department, at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 11, in Hoover 105. There is no charge to attend.

The lecture will be preceded by a Richter Scholars Symposium beginning at 5 p.m. in the Hoover lobby (food will be served). The Richter Scholars program enables undergraduate and graduate students to receive funding for independent research projects conducted with a faculty mentor.

Lecture Description

What connection does Miley Cyrus have to the Google algorithm? Badley argues that cultural trends have changed how we think, what knowledge we value, and how we judge wisdom. Our obsession with celebrities, our immersion in digital technology, and our high-irony combine to leave us wondering what is worthwhile and who will guide our steps.

About Ken Badley

Badley, recipient of the university’s 2013 Faculty Award for Excellence in Research/Scholarship at the graduate level, serves in George Fox’s doctoral program in education. He completed his PhD dissertation at the University of British Columbia by examining what Christian educators mean by the phrase, “the integration of faith and learning.”

His current writing projects include applying architectural theory to curriculum and course design, and gathering a collection of quotations which are all deliberately misattributed to either Jesus, Polonius, Yogi Berra or Groucho Marx.

Are you interested in traveling the world? Did you know that George Fox sponsors trips abroad each May? If you are going to be a junior or senior next year and have any interest, or questions, join us for an informational meeting from 6 to 7 p.m. tonight (Wednesday) in Hoover 105.
