On Wednesday (Sept. 14), immediately after chapel, the Newberg Fire Department, invited by Residence Life, will be conducting its fifth annual Burn in the Quad. This is our shortest program but one of the most engaging educational 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 clock tower 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.
Questions? Contact Dave Johnstone at djohnstone@georgefox.edu.

Through a regular meeting time to share about your culture and learn about another with your partner, you will gain a broader cultural awareness, not only learning about another culture, but also by understanding your own culture from a different perspective as well!
