The Daily Bruin

Hey seniors! Do you enjoy helping people? Have you considered a career as a clinical mental health counselor, couple and family systems counselor, school counselor or school psychologist? If so, join this week’s information meeting to learn about masters-level counseling programs offered at George Fox. Prerequisite classes are not required, and your bachelor’s degree does not need to be in psychology to apply.

An info meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18, at the Portland Center. You can register online at this link and learn more about our programs at counseling.georgefox.edu. The meeting will take place in Room 155A, located on the first floor of the Portland Center.

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.

As graduation nears, so does the reality of student loan repayment. For many students, loan repayment can be confusing and frustrating.

That is why the financial aid office is offering a Student Loan Repayment Workshop to all graduating students. The sessions will be held on the Newberg campus and will cover topics such as how to afford your loan payments, what to do if you can’t and information on loan forgiveness. To view dates/times and sign up, visit this link.

If you’re unable to attend the workshop but you’d still like help, feel free to set up an appointment with our office instead.

Questions? Contact Johanna Schweitzer at jschweitzer@georgefox.edu.

Save the date Wednesday, March 18, when the IDEA Center continues its vision to introduce students to industry clusters with a Jobs in High Tech networking event from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in Hoover 105.

The panel and subsequent networking time will focus on career paths that typically don’t come to mind when you think of digital humanities, user experience, computer-to-human interactions, branding of new products and positions that support the tech industry.

Organizations represented include Intel, Waggener Edstrom PR agency, Funnelbox, Salesforce Software, Code Oregon and others. We encourage you to attend as an opportunity to learn and network with professionals in a growing and incredibly creative and collaborative industry cluster.
