The Daily Bruin

Geoffrey Moore, an author, speaker and advisor who has written a million-selling book and advises high-tech enterprises that include Microsoft, Intel and Salesforce, will speak on the university’s Newberg campus on Friday, July 8. The public is invited to attend, and admission is free.

Moore’s life’s work has focused on the market dynamics surrounding disruptive innovations. In addition to writing three books (Crossing the Chasm, The Gorilla Game and Inside the Tornado), Moore’s most recent endeavor, Escape Velocity, addresses the challenge large enterprises face when they seek to add a new line of business to their established portfolio.

Join us from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. in Lemmons 8. Questions? Contact Adina McConaughey at amcconaughey@georgefox.edu.

If you’ve ever wanted to be in a parade (and get a free George Fox T-shirt), this is your opportunity.

George Fox has been asked to provide the grand marshal for this summer’s Newberg Old Fashioned Festival Parade. It’s the start of our 125th year, and we want to recognize the people who have helped us get this far… our employees and students. This is your invitation to be one of the grand marshals for the parade.
