Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is partnering with George Fox to host four free self-defense classes as part of our Sexual Assault Awareness Month events. Each class is the same, so you only need to sign up for one, but space is limited to 25 people. Grab a friend, throw on your trainers, and learn some important skills that will empower and encourage.
The first class is today (Tuesday) from 6 to 8 p.m. in Hadlock. Sign up here under “Self-Defense Classes” to secure your spot for tonight or any of the upcoming dates.

What does it look like when two of America’s most brilliant and outspoken minds — one a conservative lion of natural law theory, the other a prophetic voice of the Black radical tradition — sit down not as opponents, but as brothers in Christ?
On Thursday, April 16, at 7 p.m., the university invites you to “Civic Friendship in a Polarized Age,” a rare and remarkable dialogue between Princeton’s Robert George and Union Seminary’s Cornel West.
Students have the option of receiving elective chapel credit for attending. The event, originally scheduled for Canyon Commons, has been moved to Bauman Auditorium. There is no fee, but we request you please reserve your spot using this form.
Rooted not in the tired theater of political debate but in a shared Christian faith that calls all people to love their neighbors across every divide, this conversation will explore what genuine civic friendship demands of us in this fractured moment. Come expecting not a clash, but a covenant — a living demonstration that the gospel has always been, at its heart, a politics of reconciliation.
For more information, contact Carly Reumann creumann@georgefox.edu.

Join us at 7 p.m. this Wednesday, April 8, to hear from Jim Donald, former CEO of Starbucks, as he shares his insights on leading through change.
Donald will move beyond business theory to discuss the human element in a conversation he calls, “What They Don’t Teach You in Business School: Real-World Leadership for the Future.” This free event in Canyon Commons offers a masterclass in the human element of industry.
Donald will provide the “missing link” between classroom theory and the grit of “front-line” leadership – lessons he learned directly from legendary figures like Sam Walton, founder of Walmart. He will deep dive into an “old-school” playbook that validates the daily professional challenges of the modern age through the lens of a servant-leadership model.
Donald is a world-class executive and “Turnaround King” with a storied 50-year career in the retail and service industries. Recognized by the Best Practice Institute as one of the “Top 25 CEOs in the World,” he has held the top leadership mantle at some of the most recognizable brands in the world, including Starbucks, Albertsons, and Extended Stay Hotels.

Did you know that your gut and brain talk to each other all day long? You might not know it, but your gut does more than digest food. It plays a huge role in how you think, feel, sleep, and manage stress.
The gut and brain are connected through the gut-brain axis. It’s a network that sends signals back and forth. When it’s working smoothly, you’re more likely to feel clear-headed, energized, and in a good mood. When they fall out of sync, you might notice things like an upset stomach, low energy, and trouble focusing.
Check out some simple habits below and in this flier that can help keep your gut and brain working like a team!
