The Daily Bruin

Are you interested in a helping profession but not sure about next steps post-graduation? Have you thought about getting a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree?

Come to our MSW informational night tonight (Thursday) from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Hoover 105! We will have a panel of social work professionals, each of whom has earned an MSW degree, and each will share their own perspective and timeline for getting their degree.

We’ll also have a question-and-answer time as well as a presentation about George Fox’s Master of Social Work program. Please join us! There will be refreshments.

Contact Hannah Fajen (hfajen13@georgefox.edu) with questions.

Don’t wait until the last minute to schedule an ARC appointment. There are only three and a half more week until finals.

The week of Nov. 16-23 is already booked. If you need an appointment between Nov. 15 and Nov. 23, please stop by the ARC and put your name on the waiting list. If you have already scheduled an appointment and need to cancel, please do so as soon as possible so we can open that time up to other students.

Esteemed George Fox students,

We are a small team made up of senior business marketing students, and in preparation for a career in marketing we were assigned to work with a real-world client on a marketing project.

We choose to analyze the Bruin Store to evaluate its current client base, with aspirations in understanding what students really want. With this, we hope to provide feedback and constructive criticism to the Bruin Store so they can improve their efforts in serving students.

Your help in completing this short five- to 10-minute survey will benefit the student population, and it will be greatly appreciated.

Bruin Store Survey

Thank you!

If you currently use Google Sites, you may have seen that Google has introduced a new version of Sites. In addition to the intuitive technology, integration with G Suite apps, and attractive design, the new Sites now includes the ability to track performance with Google Analytics, six new themes, and other helpful features.

The existing, classic version of Sites will continue to exist in parallel with the new Sites as Google adds capabilities that are similar to those found in the classic Sites.

See the full announcement, along with FAQs and helpful links, in our Techtips blog.
