The Daily Bruin

Do you currently own and use a consumer drone? If so, we would love to hear your thoughts on your experience. We are George Fox students, and are eager to find respondents for our Market Research class.

To help us gather data, we ask that you complete our quick 10-minute survey by Nov. 9.

The data collected will be used to help guide us on what functions are desirable, price points, and the competitive landscape for consumer drones. All responses will remain confidential and secure. We appreciate the trust and confidence you have in us by completing this survey.

Thank you!

If you have any questions, contact Katie Armstrong at karmstrong20@georgefox.edu.

On Tuesday, Nov. 8, MyGeorgeFox will start using login.georgefox.edu, the university’s Single Sign On (SSO) system, for authentication.

This will bring MyGeorgeFox into the familiar login process used by other George Fox applications (e.g. Canvas, Zoom, Gmail). It also means if you are already logged in through SSO, you will be automatically logged in to MyGeorgeFox.

Please note that it also changes what happens when you logout of MyGeorgeFox. When you logout of MyGeorgeFox (or when your session times out) you will be shown a screen that provides two options for logging out and an explanation of each.

Please contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu if you have questions.

If you have been thinking about setting up direct deposit for your on-campus job, now is a great time to do so!

If you plan to travel for winter break please know that you will receive your paycheck in the same manner that you have set up; we cannot process checks early. If you want to ensure that you receive your paycheck while you’re out of town, setting up direct deposit will be necessary.

To do that, come by the HR Office (206 N. Meridian St.; #37 on the campus map) to fill out the paperwork. You cannot do it online. Email Kelly Peterson at kpeterson@georgefox.edu if you need help.

The Cultural Enterprise invites you to hear from author and guest speaker Curtis Chang tomorrow (Thursday). We’ll host a faculty coffee at 3 p.m. (during which he’ll discuss his recently published work on the theology of organizations) and a 7 p.m. public lecture on post-partisan faith.

Both events are in Canyon Commons, and refreshments will be served.

Faculty Coffee

Chang makes the provocative claim that human institutions participate in the Imago Dei. He argues that this insight is deeply grounded in Scripture and theology. Moreover, this central insight opens up a range of practical insights and motivations for the organizational life of all Christians, especially those working in “secular” entities.

Come hear Chang share about a robust theology of institutions, and bring your questions and thoughts!

Public Lecture: “When Politics Strains Relationships”

Have political divisions caused tension in the relationships in your family, school, church, work or community? Learn how to become a “post-partisan Christian” and how this new identity can heal our relationships – and hopefully our society. A livestream will be available here.

About Curtis Chang

Chang straddles the worlds of secular institutions and theology. As a management consultant, he has won a White House award for social innovation as the founder and head of Consulting Within Reach (CWR), a firm serving nonprofits and government agencies. He also is on the faculty of American University in Washington, D.C., where he teaches strategic planning.

As a theologian, Chang is a consulting professor at the Duke Divinity School and is a senior fellow at Fuller Theological Seminary. He currently co-hosts (with David French) the Good Faith podcast, which is ranked in the top 1% of all podcasts.

The Zed Factor Fellowship invites all students who are interested in aerospace to apply for its 2023 fellowship program.

The Zed Factor Fellowship is an aerospace internship and community outreach program for undergraduate students hailing from historically excluded communities and backgrounds.

Students selected for the program will receive a 10-week paid summer or fall fellowship. The program encourages students in all majors, including STEM, business/marketing, communications/journalism, policy/pre-law, humanities, and social sciences to apply.

Founded by a group of aerospace professionals from diverse backgrounds, the Zed Factor Fellowship empowers and engages learners and aspiring space and aviation professionals through hands-on, practical experiences working in and contributing to the leading companies of the aerospace community.

In addition to the internship placement, students will receive mentorship from an executive and young professional in their field, and carry out a funded space- or aviation-related community engagement project.

Applications are being accepted for placement with leading space and aviation companies for internships beginning in late spring/early summer 2023. The application deadline is Monday, Jan. 2.

Additionally, we are hosting an information session Wednesday, Nov. 2, for students to learn more about the fellowship and how to apply. Fill out this form to register for the session.
