The Daily Bruin

With only 25 boxes of macaroni and cheese left on the shelf, the Bruin Community Pantry is in desperate need of this popular food item. Many college students have not learned the fine art of cooking, and this food item is a staple for their food cupboard.

As you know, food supply chains are greatly interrupted, and this has affected the Oregon Food Bank’s ability to procure this item. Generic brands have the best price.

If you would prefer to purchase through Amazon, please use the Bruin Community Pantry wish list on Amazon, available here.

Please have these items delivered to the food bank in Roberts 109 during our hours of operation, which can be found here. Thank you so much for your help!

Please contact Jere Witherspoon if you have any questions at bruincommunitypantry@georgefox.edu.

Did you know that the average cost per household per month for natural gas usage is approximately $65, which is primarily used to heat buildings and water?

You can reduce your gas usage by making sure all the windows and doors are closed. Closing windows and doors reduces the amount of gas used because it takes less gas to sustain indoor temperature compared to heating a cold room with a draft.

Lowering your thermostat a degree or two each week is a great start to reducing gas use. When there’s no one in the building, try turning off the heater in the building.

For more information on natural gas and micro-sustainability tips, check out our Instagram at @sustainability_squad_gfu.

Midterm grades provide an accurate picture of your academic progress so far this semester. The last day to withdraw from a class without a graded responsibility for a class you may be struggling in is Sunday, March 19.

This means that if you withdraw from a class, your transcript will show a “W.” If you do not withdraw now and ultimately do not pass a course, your GPA will suffer.

Mid-term grade entry starts Saturday, Feb. 25, and ends after Wednesday, March 1.

If your professor has not yet given you a midterm grade, please contact them right away to find out where you stand in that course. Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.

If you received a D or an F on your midterms, you should contact your CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the consequences of withdrawing from a class. If you withdraw from a class, you should also contact your CAP coach to discuss your class schedule for future semesters. Follow this link to contact CAP coaches.

Here are a couple more resources you may find helpful:

• Services for Tutoring
• Academic Resource Center

If you need help or have any questions, or need assistance, please contact studentlife@georgefox.edu.

Students who fail all of their classes may have their financial aid package affected. If you have federal financial aid and are not passing any classes, please immediately contact your financial aid and/or student accounts advisor.

Do you like showing others ways to be a more effective and efficient student? Do your friends always come to you to look over their papers before they turn them in? Do you have a GPA above 3.0?

If you answered yes to these questions, you might have a future as an ARC consultant in the Academic Resource Center. We are interested in students from any major, not just English!

Applications for the 2023-24 academic year are due by Wednesday, March 15. Application instructions and additional information are available at this Handshake job posting. Contact Rick Muthiah at rmuthiah@georgefox.edu if you have questions.

The Maker Hub’s Millermatic 210 is a wire feed metal inert gas (MIG) welder that is meant for light industrial use.

Metal inert gas is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable MIG wire electrode and the base metal. This then heats the base metal, causing them to melt and join. Along with the wire electrode, a shielding gas feeds through the welding gun which shields the process from contaminants in the air.

This technique is the easiest and most common type of welding, which makes it perfect for those learning to weld. This welder is capable of welding carbon steel as well as stainless steel. Check out this video to see how it works. Visit the Maker Hub’s Wiki Page for more information.

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.

Hello all! My name is Gabriel Messing, and I’m a music industry major. I am premiering my senior capstone project at 7 p.m. tonight (Friday) in Hoover 105, and I invite you to come!

This project, a 25-minute stop-motion animation, is the product of nine months of filming, editing and scoring. That’s right, I composed a completely original score for this film. With an action-packed war between green and tan army men, gut-wrenching scenes, and dramatic dialogue, this is a film you won’t want to miss!

I hope to see you there! And if you have any military friends/relatives, please invite them. Military will be receiving priority seating.

Contact me at gmessing19@georgefox.edu with any questions.
