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

The lecture will be on Tuesday, April 8, at 7 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium. Chapel credit will be given to students who attend. You can claim seats 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.

All university offices are closed this Friday, March 28, for the spring break holiday. The Murdock Library on the Newberg campus will be closed, but the 24/7 space will remain open. The Bruin Store on the Newberg campus will also be closed.

Join us in the chapel on Friday, April 11, for a special Resonate concert featuring singer-songwriter and recording artist Jon Guerra. The doors will open at 6 p.m., and the concert will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Jon’s debut album, Little Songs, was released in 2015. He also composed music for Terrence Malick’s 2019 film, A Hidden Life. His first album of devotional music is Keeper of Days, which was followed by Ordinary Ways in 2023.

One review concluded, “as timely as it is, Guerra’s Ordinary Ways is also absolutely timeless. It’s basic Christianity, basic trust, basic worship, humbly set to song. It’s a slice of one bard’s devotional life, yet it joins a chorus of awestruck praise that has been unceasing for centuries and will echo on in the heavenly throngs, world without end.” Jon Guerra’s new EP, American Gospel, is out now.

The Resonate banner flies over monthly seminars, ad hoc concerts, and biennial conferences organized by the George Fox Apologetics Initiative to showcase the goodness, truth, and beauty of Christianity. Join the Resonate mailing list here.

Dr. Abraham Nussbaum is the Chief Education Officer of Denver Health, where he provides strategic direction to the education of 3,000 learners in 38 healthcare professions annually.

During his lecture on Monday, March 31, he will speak about what it means to pursue a calling in healthcare, how the calling is changing today, and why becoming something like a vampire is the only way forward. Join us in Canyon Commons at 7 p.m.

Join Global Village for our annual international dinner on Wednesday, March 19, at 7 p.m. in the FoxHole!

We’ll be having dishes from all over the world, including full meals, snacks, drinks and desserts from places like Rwanda, the Middle East, Guatemala, Ethiopia and Vietnam. All you have to do is show up ready to try something new.

Please fill out this form to RSVP so we have enough food for everyone. Feel free to bring a friend (make sure they fill out the form as well). See you then!
