Know a student who you think would be a great representative of George Fox University? Encourage them to apply to be an admissions intern for the 2015-16 school year. This internship can be done for academic credit or as federal student employment.

An internship in the admissions office is an exceptional, professional experience students can have without leaving campus! The business and communications experience alone make it a worthwhile resume-builder. The internship affords the opportunity to build relationships with current students, prospective students and their parents, and the admissions staff.

Applications are available in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions on the second floor of the Stevens Center and are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 20. Questions can be directed to Dorothy Miranda at dmiranda@georgefox.edu.

Join us tonight (Monday) for a Liberal Arts and Critical Issues presentation, “It’s OUR Journalism: We should fix it if we can,” featuring Clifford G. Rowe, professor emeritus from the Department of Communication and Theatre at Pacific Lutheran University. He will speak from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Rowe will address the questions, “What is the responsibility of journalists to the public, and what role does the public play in creating journalism?” and “How do we create responsible and reliable journalism?” The questions are particularly relevant in an age in which early reporting, “people on the street commentary” and social media posts and photos all contribute to information and misinformation in the news.
