We are sending students to Romania/Moldova and Argentina for three- to four-week international experiences that are heavily exposure-based and discipleship-Âoriented in their design. The Office of SpIL at Fox does not seek to implement these trips simply as “work projects to solve poverty†as much as we are seeking to experience and serve Christ.
Applications are available at the Spiritual Life website. Applications and references are due at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14.
Questions? Email us at spirituallife@georgefox.edu, call us, or drop by our office.
Attention faculty and staff: I am a current George Fox student working on a carbon footprint project for the university and am looking for information on the distance you travel from home to school. A short three-question survey was created in order to gather some data for the project.
If you could take just a couple of minutes to complete this survey, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,
Weldin Yanes

The School of Physical Therapy invites the university community to hear Dr. Tim Flynn (PT, PhD), distinguished professor at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions, as he lectures on “Turning the Traditional Classroom into a 21st Century Knowledge Exchange.” He will join us from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 13, in Hoover 105.
Synopsis
Let’s face it: Technology is changing the face of education from preschool through graduate school. Physical therapy education is no exception. Despite a body of evidence suggesting that the traditional lecture style instruction is lacking, it remains the predominant mode of information exchange.
In the last decade there has been a move toward the flipped classroom where students watch lectures at home at their pace and communicate with peers and faculty with online discussions. Face-to-face time with the faculty focuses on engaging problem solving and laboratory experiences.
This presentation will discuss how current best evidence lectures are produced and shared as homework assignments outside of class while sacred classroom time is reserved for collaborative work and hands-on learning activities. We will describe mechanisms to ensure learning is occurring and preliminary outcomes using this methodology.
Upon completion, attendees will be able to:
Dr. Flynn is board-certified in orthopaedic physical therapy, a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists, and a frequent research presenter at state, national and international meetings.
Questions? Contact Holly Kirby at hkirby@georgefox.edu.
Don’t forget tonight’s (Monday’s) Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture. We will welcome Geri Mason, assistant professor of economics at Seattle Pacific University, from 7 to 8 p.m. in Hoover 105. Her presentation is titled “Microfinance in China: Challenges and Innovations.”
The same session is presented from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m.; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.
Questions? Contact Paul Otto at ext. 2676 or potto@georgefox.edu.
This survey should take 10 to 15 minutes. It is a study on vocational interest and personality being conducted by students in the Research Methods class. We need a wide variety of participants, so please consider taking time to complete the survey.
