The Daily Bruin

My name is Shelby Wilson, a fourth-year doctoral clinical psychology student at George Fox University.

I am conducting a study for my dissertation on graduate students’ resilience throughout their program. For this study, it is preferred that only currently enrolled graduate-level students participate.

This study involves filling out this Google Form that takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Additionally, there will be an optional drawing for one of 10 $5 Visa gift cards. Please click the link if you are interested in participating in this study.

If you have any questions about the study, please get in touch with me at swilson18@georgefox.edu. Thank you.

Join Quaker warriors in honoring and praying for each other. The National Anthem will be preformed live by Christian Pond of The Boondock Boys band. We will have several guest speakers, opening prayer and a time to eat and have fellowship. Please join us!

Come listen to the Reiten Lecture, hosted by the College of Business, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 16, in Hoover 105.

Sabrina Bailey, a George Fox alumna and executive at the London Stock Exchange Group, will visit to discuss leadership in an entirely new way, talking about how success is built, in her lecture “Can’t Touch This: Investing in Success Factors No One Can Take Away.”

Unlike many presentations you may have heard on management style, career ladders, goal setting and key performance indicators, Bailey will “peel back the onion” to illuminate unchanging, fundamental factors that secure an unshakable foundation for success. You won’t want to miss it!

Refreshments and a social hour will follow after the talk.
