The 2020 George Fox Political Civility Project continues, looking for ways to counteract increasing polarization and alienation in American politics.
This Monday, Oct. 19, professors Mark Hall and Phil Smith will debate about whom we should vote for in the U.S. presidential election. Attendees will be invited to use the prototype Political Civility inventory to assess levels of civility in the debate. They will also hear a brief report on how the vice-presidential debate, and perhaps others, fared in terms of civility.
Attendees will also be given a chance to comment on what next steps our university should take to promote peacemaking in politics.
The event is open to the public via Zoom (link available later this week). Students are invited to attend the event live in Bauman Auditorium.
In compliance with social distancing regulations, when the room reaches its 100-person COVID capacity, any others who arrive will be directed to join those attending (including any off-campus guests) via Zoom.
A group of undergraduate students is looking for willing participants to fill out a short survey for the Introduction to Marketing course.
The survey will be examining the target market’s interest in a potential product. This project is looking to bring back the 1984 Converse Startech Basketball shoes with modern age technology for everyday wear.
Whether or not you have heard of the shoe, it would be very helpful if you could fill out our very short survey. If you would like to go above and beyond, it would be greatly appreciated if you shared this survey with your colleagues and friends as well.
We are hoping to record over a hundred responses. Thank you so much for your time and we hope you have a fantastic day!

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.
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.
In the grocery department, 10 percent will be taken off only the Kroger and Simple Truth products. Gas, alcohol, tobacco, and money orders will not be discounted.Â
