The Daily Bruin

The final Students for Life event of the year is coming up this Monday, April 21, at 7 p.m. in Lemmons 13. Free pizza and pop will be provided! Everyone is welcome to come see what our club is all about while enjoying some yummy food.

We will be having fun games, food and fellowship as well as our elections. We need you to fill in some officer positions for next year. There are a number of positions you could run for (secretary, public relations officer, treasurer), and most are pretty low-commitment; we know what it’s like to be crazy busy.

Find nomination info on Facebook and don’t forget to join our Facebook page to keep up to date.

Hope to see you there!

Allison Henckel,
Public Relations Officer

Come join us in the Cap and Gown Room at 9 p.m. tonight (Thursday) for the “Colored White Panel” during Shalom.

The panel will focus on informing white students about white privilege, white guilt (how to move away from this mind-set), and white ethnic identity development. Panelists Jeannot Djanga, Carly Ewing, Hope Kenyon, Drew Miller and Jonathan Morell will share from their experience and answer your questions.

This event also counts as a chapel elective if you are still in need of credit.

Questions about the panel/white privilege? Contact Aby Cordova at acordova10@georgefox.edu. Questions about Shalom? Contact Grayce Beebe at gbeebe10@georgefox.edu.

Please join us as we say farewell to longtime George Fox employee Eilene Newman on Wednesday, April 23, between 2 and 3:30 p.m. in Portland Center’s Room 155. Refreshments will be served.

Eilene has worked at the university for 22 years. She started at Tilikum Retreat Center as an administrative assistant in 1992. She went to work for ADP from 1994 to 2008, first on the Newberg campus in the basement of Minthorn Hall, until ADP moved in 2000 to the Portland Center.

Since 2008, Eilene has worked in the library at the Portland Center. She was a work-study student at the Newberg campus library, so it is fitting that she ends her work at the university in one of her favorite places.
