The Daily Bruin

The Graduate College of Physical Therapy is looking for volunteers to participate in a lab session on the lower extremity.

If you have a problem with your hip, knee, ankle or foot, our lab is the place to be! Our doctor of physical therapy second-year students, along with faculty members, will be performing examinations and giving you direction on how to take care of your condition.

We will be taking all the current precautions related to the delivery of healthcare during COVID-19, which includes our students wearing face shields and masks, volunteers and students using stations that provide physical distance from others, and all participants being screened for symptoms.

Volunteers are needed for either a one- or two-hour session between 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 19, at the Roberts Center. A telehealth option is also available.

This year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the George Fox University theatre program has transformed five music practice rooms into five separate, virtual theatre studios in order to bring a live production to your living spaces.

The five separate rooms feature individual mics, cameras, lighting units, projectors, projection screens, costume racks, and props tables. Actors will interact with each other virtually from their separate studios to bring a seamless performance of Silent Sky to life. This is an event you won’t want to miss!

So cozy up with your laptops and various devices and join us for a delightful evening of live, virtual theatre starting today (Friday) through Saturday, Nov. 14, and again on Nov. 19-21 at 7:30 p.m. The final production will take place Sunday, Nov. 22 at 2 p.m.!

To get more information and purchase tickets, click here. Students, staff and faculty can purchase a ticket for $10, or gather a bunch of people (socially distanced) and watch from a lobby or living room for $25 with a “household ticket.”

Join the College of Physical Therapy for a free Zoom webinar, “Three Key Principles to Reduce Running-Related Injuries,” at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 20.

Presenting will be Dr. Alison Modafferi, owner and physical therapist at Run the World PT & Performance. This is designed for all runners, whether you are new to running, run recreationally, or are more advanced.

The one-hour virtual presentation will cover three evidence-based principles to help reduce running-related injuries. We will discuss load management, variability and tendon stiffness and how they relate to running and injuries. We’ll also discuss practices to reduce injury risk.

Our reason for hosting? There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding running-related injuries. Together, George Fox University and Run the World have developed a framework backed by research to keep runners healthy.

In recognition of the extra stress everyone is facing in 2020, George Fox is adding a previously unscheduled holiday to the fall 2020 semester. George Fox will add a “Day of Rest” this year on Wednesday, Nov. 11. This coincides with Veterans Day, giving everyone the opportunity to honor those who have served our country. All classes will be canceled and offices will be closed. In a year of unpleasant surprises, we hope this will provide a brief time of respite and renewal for our students and employees.

Grab your friends and sign up for the 2020 Ugly Sweater Virtual 5K and One Mile Fun Run held on Saturday, Dec. 12.

The cost is $30 for the 5K and $17 for the one mile; this includes a guaranteed T-shirt if you sign up by today (Monday). Shirts will be mailed to the address provided on your registration form. Sign up here.

All proceeds go to support the College of Physical Therapy’s medical service trip to Uganda this summer.

Aren’t new PJs just wonderful during the holidays? We think so, and we’re working with United Way, during their annual Pajama Drive, to provide over 1,600 local children and families in crisis with a new pair of jammies. It seems like such a small thing, but sometimes the comfort of a small gift can make a big difference.

Now through Nov. 30, you can drop off your donation at the food bank in Roberts 109. Or, mail your donation to campus box 6148.
