The Daily Bruin

The university community is invited to the semester’s final lecture about the historic Saint John’s Bible. This Monday, April 13, George Fox’s Paul Anderson and Karen Bowdoin will present “Light from the New Covenant” from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.

In addition, this Friday, April 10, Anderson will continue his “Turning of the Page” series regarding the Bible from 4 to 4:30 p.m. in the MLRC.

To learn more about this semester’s “Spring into Illumination: Seeing the Word Through The Saint John’s Bible” series, visit this page. More information is able available by contacting Anderson at panderso@georgefox.edu.

The Saint John’s Bible is the first completely handwritten and illuminated Bible to have been commissioned by a Benedictine Abbey (Saint John’s University in Collegeville, Minn.) since the invention of the printing press. The Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible is the full-size fine art reproduction of the original.

April’s Employee of the Month award will be the last one until September, so if you know someone who deserves this recognition, now is the time to submit that nomination. Please send an email to Peggy Kilburg by Thursday, April 16, with a summary of this person’s recent contributions and any other information that makes him or her deserving of this award.

The President’s Executive Leadership Team will select a recipient from among the nominees, and the winner will be honored with a citation and a $100 Visa card at our community meeting later this month – along with the recipient of the March Employee of the Month award.

The university’s offices, libraries and BlueZone Store will be closed this Friday, April 3, to observe Good Friday.

Save the date! On Thursday, April 9, scholar Jason Lepojärvi will present a lecture, “C.S. Lewis’s Famous Disagreement with Augustine on Love,” at 7:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Lepojärvi is a junior research fellow in theology at St. Benet’s Hall, Oxford, and a former president of the Oxford C.S. Lewis Society. Born to a Canadian mother and a Finnish father, he studied theology and philosophy at the University of Helsinki. More details about him can be found here. The lecture is sponsored by the Office of the President and the William Penn Honors Program.

Do you know a high school student who may be interested in the William Penn Honors Program? An honors program reception will be held immediately following the lecture. Additionally, a special visit day event will be held on April 10 during Bruin Preview.

Despite a loss in the championship game, it was a historic season for the university’s women’s basketball team. The Bruins, picked in the preseason to finish fourth in the Northwest Conference, went undefeated (32-0) until a title-game loss to Thomas More in the NCAA Division III finals.

President Robin Baker attended the Final Four in Grand Rapids, Mich., and wrote a blog piece about the experience. You can read it here.

If you feel that your skill set in these areas is lacking, please consider attending the Front Desk Safety and Security training put on by Code4 in Salem on Thursday, April 23. Those who attended this seminar in December felt that they gained valuable information and also now feel better prepared to deal with threatening situations.

The cost is only $99, and up to half of that could be reimbursed for staff from the Staff Development Fund as long as money is left in the fund.

The seminar will take place at the Salem Comfort Suites-Airport and goes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. More information and sign-up forms can be found at code4.org. Questions? Call security at 503-554-2090.
