The Daily Bruin

The Office of the Provost would like to wish you a very Happy Birthday! If you have a birthday in April, we would like to celebrate you. Please stop by the academic affairs office today (Thursday) or tomorrow between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. for a birthday treat!

We’re located on the second floor of Hoover, in Suite 230. Portland Center employees may pick up their birthday treat at the front desk. Allergen-free options are available.

The IT department currently has 14 21.5-inch iMacs (2013) for sale for $75 each at the IT Service Desk.

They all have 16GB RAM, 500 GB SSD, and an i5-4570R 2.7 processor. The computers have been reset to factory settings, are installed with OS 10.15 Catalina, and are not upgradable. Best uses are for web browsing, streaming and applications that do not require a newer operating system. Some versions of MicroSoft Office will not run on these devices.

Please note that these computers are sold “as is.” We do not provide support or maintenance on these machines, or perform updates of any kind, and cannot guarantee the manufacturer will have parts available. Each computer comes with a power supply, keyboard and mouse.

Computers are being sold on a first-come, first-served basis at the Service Desk. We are not able to hold computers unless payment has been made. We accept debit and credit cards only for payment.

Our hours of operation can be found at it.georgefox.edu.

If you have any questions, please contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu.

Feel like “dying” before finals week? Come dye with us at the Arts and Crafts Club’s tie-dye event this Saturday, April 22, from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., in Hoover 203.

All are welcome! We’ll have several things to dye available, including tote bags, bandanas, scrunchies (perfect for the ’80s Dance!), and, of course, T-shirts. We’ll have snacks as well. You’re also invited to bring your own clothes to dye.

If you have any questions, reach out to Laura Conover at lconover19@georgefox.edu.

We are recruiting former missionaries who have started a business after returning from the mission field as interviewees for a study on the role of entrepreneurship in re-entry adjustment.

The interviews will take place by Zoom (or in person, if local) in the month of May, and run about 20 to 30 minutes. We believe participants may also benefit from sharing their stories.

If you know someone who fits this description, please kindly connect them to Tim Veach, associate professor of management here at George Fox, at tveach@georgefox.edu.
