The Daily Bruin

In May of 2025, students and faculty from our Doctor of Physical Therapy program will be heading to Uganda for a medical service trip! Our well-established partnerships with local leaders in Uganda seek to meet the physical and educational needs that exist in these communities.

We need your help! This trip is being funded by donations and fundraisers, with our next one being through Burgerville today (Tuesday). Visit the Burgerville in Newberg and mention George Fox. You can also order ahead on the app and use the promo code GEORGEFOX.

Thank you for your support! Contact Amanda Brandes at abrandes23@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

As Easter approaches, the university community is welcome to reflect on the death and sacrifice of Jesus at a special concert, “The Way of the Cross,” at 7:30 p.m. this Thursday, April 17, in Bauman Auditorium.

Special guest soloists Richard Zeller and Susan Buehler will join the university’s Concert Choir and Chamber Orchestra in performing Requiem by Gabriel Fauré. The performance, featuring more than 150 singers, is contemplative, reflecting on the death of Christ, how we live, the death that is to follow, and the promise of heaven.

George Fox students and employees may receive one free ticket per person. Additional tickets may be purchased here. Come join us in contemplating the sacrifice Jesus made for us.

Reach out to Danielle Warner at dwarner@georgefox.edu with any questions.

The Trump administration is focusing on fully enforcing existing immigration laws, including the requirement that noncitizens file Form AR-11 to notify U.S. Citizenship and Immigration of a change in residence within 10 days of moving. For F-1 visa holders, you do not fill out a form; rather, notify the designated signing officer. This is in reference to CFR 265.1, a Title 8 regulation.

Because the penalties for failure to file are severe, including possible removal (deportation), it is critical that all non-U.S. citizens (including permanent residents) ensure they timely file Form AR-11 with each residential move. While the penalties discussed below are not new, they typically have not been enforced to their fullest extent.

F-1 Visa holders:
This is a reminder that you are required to report an address change within 10 days of the change to the primary designated signing officer (Kerry Ford, at fordk@georgefox.edu) or DSO (David Martinez and Wendi Upjohn-Hankel) and/or the International Student Services Office.

All other Visa holders:

How to File
Form AR-11 can be filed either electronically through a USCIS online account, or by mail. USCIS provides instructions on both methods, including how to create a USCIS online account, at the following link: How to Change Your Address. A USCIS video guide is also available on YouTube: Changing Your Address in Your USCIS Online Account.

Filing AR-11 through a USCIS online account has the benefit of updating an address change for pending cases with USCIS. Additionally, noncitizens can retain a record of their AR-11 submission online as evidence of their compliance with this legal requirement.

Penalties
Failure to update USCIS of a change in residential address within 10 days of moving is a misdemeanor and may result in the following penalties under INA 266 (8 USC 1306):

• Up to $200 fine; or
• Up to 30 days imprisonment, or both
• Removal (deportation) unless it can be shown failure was reasonably excusable or not willful

Given the potential for consequences, which can also impact future immigration benefits, it is particularly critical that noncitizens make note of this reporting requirement.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Kerry Ford at fordk@georgefox.edu.

In previous trips, we have seen kids and adults receive healthcare for the first time in their lives, after walking hours through rural Uganda to our large medical clinics. We have seen teenagers with cerebral palsy walk for the first time and even start playing soccer with friends.

We have helped Ugandans with amputations return to the professional world in previously lost careers. We have even saved the lives of kids with hydrocephalus, and helped adults with progressive cancers by identifying their condition and ensuring they get the medical care they need.

Thank you for your support! Contact Amanda Brandes at abrandes23@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

George Fox University welcomes Pat Gelsinger, former CEO of Intel Corporation, to campus for an engaging and timely lecture: “Big Tech & Big Responsibility: Faith, Work, and Preparing the Next Generation – How Industry Leaders Can Foster Ethical Innovation.”

The lecture will be tonight (Tuesday) at 7 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium. Chapel credit will be given to students who attend. You can claim seats and by visiting this link.

This lecture is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the most influential minds in technology and leadership. Gelsinger will explore the ethical responsibilities of tech leaders in an AI-driven world, the intersection of faith and work, and how we can equip the next generation to lead with integrity in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Gelsinger dedicated 30 years to Intel before stepping away to become CEO of VMware, where he led the company’s transformation into a global powerhouse in cloud infrastructure, enterprise mobility, and cybersecurity – nearly tripling its annual revenue.

In 2019, his visionary leadership and dedication to a positive workplace culture earned him the title of America’s top CEO in Glassdoor’s annual employee survey. In 2021, he returned to Intel as CEO, taking the helm to guide the company into its next era of innovation and growth.
