The Daily Bruin

Faculty and staff, were you born outside of the United States? Did you live outside of the U.S. for an extended period? If so, The Office of International Student Services is interested in hearing from you.

We would like to create a community base of support on campus for those who have lived outside of the United States. This is an opportunity to connect with students and others who have a similar and unique experience.

For those interested in this community, please complete this Google form by Wednesday, Nov. 1. In November, we will follow up to set up a meeting and create next steps.

If you have any questions, please direct them to Kerry Ford at fordk@georgefox.edu. We look forward to hearing from you!

As we work with the business community to deepen our relationships and create more opportunities for our students, it is imperative that we make their attendance at our career fairs beneficial.

The more students that show up, the happier these businesses are. Therefore, please encourage your students to attend. Some professors will allow extra credit for attending, and others even make attendance a mandatory assignment. However you choose to promote these events on campus, our business partners will appreciate it.

Our upcoming fair is on Tuesday, Oct. 10, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Canyon Commons. Thank you very much!

Contact Wade Witherspoon at wwitherspoon@georgefox.edu if you have any questions about the event.
