Thinking About roommates for next year? Â Consider the many benefits of rooming with someone with a different cultural perspective:
• Expand your understanding of people with different ways of seeing the world.
• Sharpen your communication skills.
• Grow in your skills in being more culturally sensitive.
• Be more prepared to live and work in our global society.
• By exposing yourself to people from other cultural perspectives, you better understand your own culture.
• You have something to share and that others need.  Remember, expressing your perspective is as important as learning other’s perspectives.
• Consider how God might use you or speak to you through a roommate from a different cultural perspective.
• Develop a relationship with someone outside your comfort zone.  This relationship could be life long.

Did you know that tuition doesn’t cover the full cost of a student’s education?
Whether realized or not, every George Fox student is helped by countless alumni, parents, friends, foundations and others who faithfully give to help subsidize the cost of his or her Fox education. To recognize and honor this tradition of selfless giving, the Bruin Heritage Society and Alumni Relations are hosting our inaugural Tuition Freedom Day today, Feb. 15.
As part of Tuition Freedom Day, students are invited to one of two Celebration Stations (in the Bruin Den and Stevens Center) to learn more and reflect on the personal impact of this generous donor support on their own George Fox experience. Stop by either location to learn more and pick up a special Tuition Freedom Day cupcake!
