Today is the Great Oregon Shake Out! At 10:20 a.m., you should receive an alert via the FoxAlert emergency notification system. This is an opportunity to practice the basics: duck, cover, and hold on. If your class or department is participating, watch this video so you know what to do.

We regret to inform you that the upcoming lecture from biotech entrepreneur Donald Drakeman tonight (Thursday), Oct. 20 at 7:30 p.m. in Hoover 105 has been canceled due to aftermath effects from Hurricane Matthew in the speaker’s home town. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause for those who have made special arrangements to attend.

Tomorrow (Thursday) Oct. 20, at 10:20 a.m., the university will participate in The Great Oregon Shake Out, an exercise designed to test the school’s emergency notification systems as well as create dialogue among the George Fox community on how to be personally prepared should an earthquake occur.

Final Tip:
Preparing for disasters can be done over a period of time. Three days’ worth of supplies is a good start and helpful in the event of short-term power outages or temporary evacuation. But a large earthquake and tsunami will leave much of the area’s transportation routes destroyed, making assistance and delivery of supplies difficult to impossible.

Oregonians will have to count on each other in the community, in the workplace and at home in order to be safe until responders can reach them. It is recommended that families, neighborhoods and communities strive to be self-sufficient for two weeks.

After you Shake Out tomorrow, join us at https://www.facebook.com/2WeeksReady/ to learn more about getting your family, neighborhood, and community “Two-Weeks Ready.” The page will be rolling out new information each week.

While most student concerns and complaints can and should be resolved informally, there is a formal general complaint procedure described in the “Support for Students” section of the Undergraduate Student Handbook as well as on the Graduate/DPS Policies page of the website.

Note that these procedures cover complaints of a general nature and do not supersede specific policies involving special cases such as grade appeals, sexual harassment, etc., which are covered elsewhere in the Student Handbook, catalog or Graduate/DPS Policies.

For more information, contact the student life department (studentlife@georgefox.edu).

The university community is invited to the 2016 Fall Faculty Lecture, “Exploring Intersections of Teachers’ Lives: Race, Religion & Identity,” featuring Yune Tran, PhD, associate professor of education and recipient of the 2015-16 Undergraduate Faculty Achievement Award for Research and Scholarship.

Join us this Tuesday, Oct. 18, for the presentation. The lecture runs from 6 to 7 p.m. in Hoover 105. Tran will discuss research that investigated the identities of preservice teachers based on Helm’s White racial identity development model. Employing a mixed-method design, findings include a sample of 33 preservice teachers with eight narratives that shed light on the role that race and religion play in teachers’ development when addressing attitudes and believes about cultural and linguistically diverse students.

Prior to the lecture that evening, the 2016 Fall Richter Student Scholars Symposium is scheduled from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Hoover lobby. Student scholars from George Fox graduate and undergraduate programs will present their research in a conversational poster format. Refreshments will be served in both the symposium and lecture.

Paul Anderson will host a “Turning of the Page” for Volume 1 of the Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible: The Pentateuch. Come see firsthand the artistry that has made this illuminated Bible a historic masterpiece. Families and students especially welcome!

Paul will make the presentation from 4 to 4:30 p.m. today (Friday) in the MLRC.

Don’t forget: Next Thursday, Oct. 20, the university will participate in The Great Oregon Shake Out, an exercise designed to test the school’s emergency notification systems as well as create dialogue among the George Fox community on how to be personally prepared should an earthquake occur.

While the potential earthquake hazards depend upon your location, you could be anywhere when an earthquake strikes – at home, at work, at school or even on vacation. What we do now will determine our quality of life after our next big earthquake. Are you prepared to survive and recover quickly?

The Great Oregon ShakeOut is an annual opportunity to practice how to be safer during big earthquakes: “Drop, Cover and Hold On.” The ShakeOut has also been organized to encourage us to review and update emergency preparedness plans and supplies and to secure our spaces in order to prevent damage and injuries.

Stay tuned each week, as we will provide a link to resources to help you get ready.
