The Daily Bruin

It’s that time again! Come to Hadlock Student Center for our fall “Gearage Sale,” running today (Wednesday) through Friday during UREC hours.

We’ve got new and used gear for all your outdoor adventures, from climbing and fitness to camping and more. You’ll find everything you need to stock up for the season.

Half of all proceeds will go to our OREC scholarship program, which helps students access our incredible outdoor trips. So, snag some great gear and support a good cause all at the same time.

Feel free to contact Kelsey Cantrall with any questions at kcantrall@georgefox.edu.

The AI revolution is here. For some, it’s exciting. For others, it’s terrifying. Still others are baffled and confused by it. Many of us feel a mix of all of these. But one thing is clear: It’s here and it’s not going away.

In this session, we explore how we might adapt and change as we navigate the new terrain of an AI world. Join us on Wednesday, Oct. 8, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in Stevens 208, as we will explore how At might transform teaching, scholarship and service, and navigate a blended approach focused on ethics and wisdom.

John Spencer, author of The Depth Advantage, is a former middle school teacher and a George Fox professor. He is dedicated to transforming schools to foster creativity and wonder in students. He is also the coauthor of the books Launch and Empower, and the founder of two educational technology start-ups.

In 2013, he spoke at the White House to share his vision for empowering students to be “future-ready” through creativity and design thinking. Spencer is passionate about using design thinking and a “maker mindset” to help students become creative thinkers and problem-solvers. He has a podcast, “The Creative Classroom with John Spencer,” and a YouTube channel.

All are welcome to attend distinguished historian and award-winning author Peter Boag’s discussion of his book project The Art of Mountaineering tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Through romantic images and captivating stories, Boag, professor of history at Washington State University, guides us on a journey back into the 19th century to learn about the central role that fine artists and popular illustrators of the Cascade Range played in promoting mountaineering, founding climbing organizations, supporting conservation efforts, and stimulating a fascination with the mountains of our region.
