The first presidential debate is history. Did it make you more or less worried about the effects of polarization in our country?Â
If political polarization concerns you, you can do something about it by connecting with the 2020 George Fox Civility Project.
The opening session of the 2020 George Fox Civility Project is tonight (Monday) from 7:30 to 9 p.m., in Bauman Auditorium (and Zoom).
It will be starting with a talk by Professor of Politics Emeritus Ron Mock on what civility is, its grounding for Christians in basic elements of our faith, and its roots for political leaders in their fundamental duty to be stewards of our political culture.
Those who attend will have a chance to evaluate excerpts from political debates for their civility. Feedback collected from attenders will help in creating a political civility inventory that citizens can use to hold candidates and political leaders to account for whether their communications and actions strengthen or destroy our political culture.
You can attend in person at Bauman Auditorium or via Zoom. Attendance in person will be limited. Those who arrive after the room reaches its 100-person COVID capacity will be asked to attend via Zoom. Zoom attendees can access the session at the link above.
Questions? Contact Ron Mock (rmock@georgefox.edu).
Tomorrow (Saturday) is George Fox Day at Fred Meyer (3300 Portland Road, in Newberg)! Bring your George Fox ID and receive 10 percent off of your purchase. Some restrictions may apply.

Do you wish there was something you could do to help overcome America’s increasing polarization before it tears our country apart?
You can! Connect with the 2020 George Fox Civility Project. The 2020 GFCP has three elements: two events and a project.
You do not have to participate in all three elements. You can attend either event, or both. If you want to participate in the project, you should attend the first event.
Don’t miss this chance to get in on the ground floor of an important university initiative, and help your community and our nation deal with controversial issues more constructively!
If you want to come in person, plan to be at Bauman a few minutes before 7:30 p.m. If you want to attend via Zoom, keep watching the Daily Bruin – we’ll post the link soon!

The Disability Services Office is recognizing Deaf awareness in the month of September. The Deaf community has made amazing contributions to our culture, such as American Sign Language (ASL), a language of its own, which has allowed for communicative doors to be opened.
Did you know there are at least 70 signed languages in the world? Click here to learn more about Deaf culture.
The CDC recently changed its guidelines requiring all individuals who: a) spent at least 15 minutes with someone who tests positive for COVID-19, and b) was closer than six feet apart to be quarantined for 14 days, regardless of if you had a face covering on.
Therefore, if you want to stay healthy and keep your freedom, stay six feet apart!
Contact cot@georgefox.edu with any questions.
If you could teach someone about COVID-19 and the quarantine 100 years from now, what would you share? What records and artifacts would you give them to learn from? In 100 years where would historians find these records?
The George Fox University Archives invites submissions from students and employees that share your COVID-19 story. Some questions to reflect on may include:
Sharing your experiences now will help people in the future understand what life was like during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please visit our dedicated page to learn more about submitting your story.
Proper eating and drinking hygiene with a face covering permits removal or temporarily shifting the face covering while you eat or drink, but the face cover needs to be worn again as soon as feasible.
This is particularly important if you are drinking water or coffee in class. Please respect others around you by re-masking as soon as possible after eating or drinking.
Contact cot@georgefox.edu with any questions.

You all are doing a great job and have helped us remain COVID-free for 21 days!
We do have a change in our face-covering policy: As of today (Monday), face shields may continue to be used so long as you maintain six feet of distance. If you are closer (or likely to be closer) than six feet, you must wear a face mask. This minor change will help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Questions? Write cot@georgefox.edu.
