The Daily Bruin

The Career & Academic Planning Center will be sponsoring two career fairs this fall. The first is an in-person event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 18, in Canyon Commons 101-103. Thirty-six companies are signed up to participate, representing healthcare, engineering, technology, Christian service, marketing and more.

The second will be a virtual fair on Tuesday, Oct. 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Here you will have the opportunity to meet with companies one on one or in group sessions. All registrations are done through Handshake.

When you register for the virtual event on Oct. 25, you need to find the companies you would like to meet with and schedule an appointment with them.

This is an opportunity for you to network, develop new relationships, gain exposure to the industry you are planning to go into, and hone your presentation skills. Please take time to attend. Thank you!

For more information, contact Wade Witherspoon at wwitherspoon@georgefox.edu.

Newberg campus offices will be closed tomorrow (Friday) for the mid-semester holiday. The Murdock Library will be closed, but the 24-hour space will remain open. The library will resume regular hours of operation over the weekend.

The Bruin Store will be open for regular hours (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) on Friday.

If you’ve ever had a concussion, please participate in this senior research study on gender disparities during concussion recovery. Participation in the study includes filling out a single survey that should take no more than 20 minutes to complete.

This research will be used to determine a correlation between gender and symptom severity and the recovery rates of concussions. We hope this research will be beneficial for developing better treatment plans and guidelines for concussions.

For more information, contact Kaitlyn Springer at kspringer19@georgefox.edu.

Come see renowned Christian author, teacher and alumnus Richard J. Foster present an award in his name to pastor and fellow author Trevor Hudson this Monday, Oct. 3.

A selection committee selected Hudson as the first recipient of the Richard J. Foster Award in Spiritual Formation. The award recognizes those whose intellectual and practical work helps others come into an ongoing transformational relationship with Jesus Christ.

Hudson is the author of more than 20 books, the most recent of which, Seeking God: Finding Another Kind of Life with St Ignatius and Dallas Willard, was released in September.

Unsold fall 2022 books and other course materials are being sent back to their publishers beginning Monday, Oct. 3. If there are books you’ve put off getting, don’t wait!

Join us on Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 3-4, for the Interprofessional Primary Care Institute’s Strengthening Team™ Ethics & Legal Considerations Suicide Prevention two-day event.

Day 1: We will explore safety, security, risk and common ethical and legal concerns in healthcare practice, followed by applying these concepts to emerging roles in primary care (behavioral health clinicians and culturally responsive community health workers). We will share experiences of power differentials in high-quality primary care early adopters.

Day 2: Kent Corso, PsyD, will present “Proactive Reduction of Suicide in Populations via Evidence-Based Research.” After that, we will discuss suicide in healthcare workers, as well as a system-wide approach to suicide prevention in primary care sustained since 2011.

If you would like to register for the event, sign up here. Contact Tammy O’Doherty at todohert@georgefox.edu with any questions.

Organizations and institutions can seem cold and inhuman, somehow disconnected from the lives we lead. But the reality, especially in modern society, is that most of us are organizational beings. We work in companies or other types of institutions. We are members of churches and other civic organizations.

Join us this semester to explore “God’s Purpose for your Organizational Life.” Over seven meetings, we will seek to uncover some surprising biblical truths about human institutions. In the process, we also discover that our lives can be more fully imbued with God’s purposes when we begin to appreciate that he is not just interested in our individual and family lives, but also our organizational lives.

This group is a great opportunity for students (graduate and undergraduate) who want to explore the integration of faith, work and vocation!

No outside preparation is needed. All meetings will include a free catered dinner. Email Travis Pickell at  tpickell@georgefox.edu by Saturday, Oct. 1, if you are interested. (Space is limited to 12 students, so do not delay!)

Meetings will be held on Oct. 11, Oct. 25, Nov. 1, Nov. 8, Nov. 22, Nov. 29 and Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. Location to be decided.

Our next pay period is just around the corner. If you forgot to log hours for August, please email Kelly Peterson to receive the make-up timesheet. Those hours can be paid with your September work on Oct. 15 if you get the timesheet in by Oct. 1. Don’t forget to lock your September timesheet by this Friday, Sept. 30.

Email Kelly Peterson at kpeterson@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

One of our graduates is on the brink of changing how doctors treat chronic cardiac disease. Joel Rurik, a 2016 graduate of George Fox’s biology program, will explain the details of his research in a lecture all are welcome to attend this Monday, Sept. 26, at 3 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Rurik is now a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, where he does cutting-edge gene therapy research. Most recently, his team’s work was featured on the front cover of Science, the top research journal in the United States.

Cardiac fibrosis, a scarring of the heart, underlies most cardiovascular diseases and remains challenging to target therapeutically. Chronic cardiac disease often results in fibrosis, which negatively affects heart health and function. Therapies targeting this cardiac fibrosis remain limited, but Rurik’s research offers a promising and tractable immunotherapy approach for tackling fibrosis.

Contact Carly Reumann at creumann@georgefox.edu for more information.

Plant Services will be closed this Friday, Sept. 23, for our Hess Creek Canyon Clean-Up Day.
