The Daily Bruin

We’re excited to announce that in May of 2025 students and faculty from our doctor of physical therapy program will be heading to Uganda for a medical service trip!

We need your help: We will be holding an auction fundraiser with dinner at 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 12, in Canyon Commons. Our auction has historically been the greatest contributor to funding our trip and will feature gifts generously donated by community members and businesses. We are looking for people to attend!

The money we earn from the auction will help pay for all travel, service, housing and resource expenses. For more information, check out our website at this link. If you are interested in obtaining tickets, you can purchase them here!

If you are interested in donating, attending, or have any questions, please reach out to us at georgefoxdptservice@gmail.com or call Micah Trevizu at 530-310-6202.

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.
