Every seven years George Fox University is evaluated by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) to ensure that we comply with their requirements and standards, and to collect evidence that we serve all students and employees well.
Our next visit, which will be virtual, is scheduled for April 6-7, 2021. Along with individual interviews with key people, there will be three open forums for George Fox community members to share experiences and information with the evaluation team.
Each forum is designed for a different audience: students (grad and undergrad), staff, administrators, and faculty. The forums are currently scheduled during these times for 50 minutes each:
Students: Wednesday, April 7, at 11 a.m.
Staff/Administrators: Tuesday, April 6, at noon
Faculty: Tuesday, April 6, at 3 p.m.
Please plan to attend if at all possible, as we are hoping for a wide range of input for the team. Watch The Daily Bruin for Zoom links to your designated meeting time.
For more information, please contact Linda Samek, accreditation liaison officer, at lsamek@georgefox.edu.

Please be aware that Richter Scholars program proposals are due by 5 p.m. on Monday, April 5.
The Richter Scholars program at George Fox distributes funds to support student research activities that are devised, initiated, and carried out by individual student researchers, with mentorship, guidance, and expertise provided by a faculty mentor.
The purpose of these funds is to support educational research opportunities that encourage the practices of independent thought leading to independent achievement and personal responsibility. For the purpose of this program, research is defined as a knowledge-generating activity that is designed to provide new information on a topic, tool, or process, and that proceeds according to established and accepted research methods.
Before preparing a proposal, please read through the full proposal guidelines, eligibility requirements, and review criteria on this page.
Faculty mentors: Please note that several important proposal elements and eligibility requirements have been recently updated. Please thoroughly read through all posted documentation as you work with your student mentee to prepare a proposal.

The Doctor of Physical Therapy program is seeking participants between the ages of 60 and 90 for a study that aims to assess the use of telehealth as a way to screen for frailty in community-dwelling older adults. If you know of anyone in this age range who might be interested, let us know!
In order to qualify for this study, participants must:
Be 60-90 years old, live independently or in an assisted living facility
Able to walk without the help of another person
Pass a mental status exam.
Participants must not:
Have been diagnosed with a neurological condition
Have a current illness or health issues that would make performing physical activities unsafe
Participants will be asked to attend one test session lasting about one hour during which they will be asked to perform a physical performance test both in a lab and telehealth setting. Cameras will record the movement of markers that will be placed on your body, and force plates in the ground will record your foot contact during the sit-to-stand activity in the lab. Performance during the telehealth activities will be recorded.
If you are interested in learning more about the study, or would like to participate, please contact Lyndsey Stutzenberger at lstutzenberger@georgefox.edu or at 503-554-2463.
