Today (Wednesday) immediately after chapel the Newberg Fire Department, invited by residence life, will conduct its seventh annual Burn in the Quad. This is our shortest program but one of the most engaging experiences of the year. They will demonstrate how quickly a residence hall room can become consumed by smoke and flames.
The event will happen in the quad; the fire will start by 11:40 a.m. and it will probably be over by 11:45 a.m.
Our apologies if this causes some classroom disruption.

Tonight (Tuesday) Bon Appetit will be hosting an information table in Klages from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. for “Light the Night,” the upcoming fundraising event sponsored by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society on Oct. 19 at the Oregon Convention Center.
Joining us at the table will be Stephanie Fagerstrom, a 2010 George Fox alumna and volunteer with the LLS. The society is a nonprofit health organization that works tirelessly to support patients and families of those who are affected by blood-related cancers. Each year, it hosts “Light The Night,” in which thousands of people gather to raise funds, celebrate and support those who have been affected by this disease.
This year, about 5,000 participants are expected, so much help is needed! If you are willing and able (and have a group of friends you can carpool with), come volunteer on Saturday, Oct. 19, and help us make “Light The Night” a success.
The link to register for the event is here. If you have any questions, please feel free to come by and visit with Stephanie Tuesday night. Just let our cashier know.

The university’s theatre department invites you to join us for our fall drama, The House of Bernarda Alba (la Casa de Bernarda Alba), by Federico Garcia Lorca. Shows are scheduled in Wood-Mar Auditorium Oct. 24-26 and Oct. 31 through Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m. The final show is a matinee, at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3.
Synopsis: Immediately following her husband’s death, Bernarda Alba orders her five daughters to observe an eight-year mourning period in which none of them will leave the house. The young women do their best to obey their mother, but when the handsome Pepe el Romano arrives on the scene the young women’s desire to honor their mother’s tradition is set against their yearning for freedom. Originally written as a critique of the rise of fascism in 1936, The House of Bernarda Alba addresses themes of repression and the fear of change. Michelle Seaton is directing.
University employees receive one complimentary ticket to any of the shows; students may attend either of the Thursday performances for free. Additional tickets are available for purchase at theatre.georgefox.edu.
We have decided to extend the deadline for the SCORR application! The meeting times were a bit too conflicting with schedules so we have decided to move it to another time that will be more convenient for the group!
If you don’t know what SCORR is, it stands for Student Congress on Racial Reconciliation. The purpose of SCORR is to “glorify God by empowering students to better face the challenges existing on their campuses, in their communities, and in society at large through multi-ethnic awareness and engaging in the active process of racial reconciliation.â€
SCORR consists of a weekly discussion meeting in a close-knit group and going to an annual conference in February at Biola University.
SCORR is the beginning of a lifelong journey of learning to glorifying God by seeing all people, all races, and all cultures through his eyes. It’s seriously something that can have an impact on you and is worth looking into!
Apply online at the following link (the application has all the information you need to know on it).
Application deadline is Oct. 11!
Contact Mandee Campos at camposm12@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

The time has come once again to begin the process of selecting our undergraduate “Who’s Who†nominees for the 2013-14 academic year.
You are receiving this e-mail because you are listed as being employed primarily on the Newberg campus. You may or may not have contact with our undergraduate population. For those of you who do not have contact with our undergraduate population, please disregard the rest of this message.
For those of you who do have contact with our undergraduate population, you have the opportunity to make nominations by selecting no more than twenty (20) students who you feel are worthy of recognition from the list of students who qualify for selection. These students are eligible for nomination and expect to graduate either midyear or spring (December 2013 or May 2014).
In addition, they all have a GPA of at least 3.50 and have turned in their application for degree. Other criteria for choosing a student include their demonstration of:
One-hundred and fifty-three students are eligible for nomination based on GPA alone. We will record your top 20 selections and determine the top 25 choices university wide. We will then invite the top 25 students to respond. All students who respond will be awarded the “Who’s Who” honor.
Please note: There may be others who qualify to be on this list, but because they have not registered for commencement at the time of the selection process, they are not on this list.
To make your selection, please select 20 students in the list on this survey no later than Friday, Oct. 18. Please choose no more than 20 students.
Please contact Jere Witherspoon (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu) in the student life office if you have any questions.
