We are doing an anonymous study about muscular performance and the period cycle, because we want to know if muscular performance changes over the course of the menstrual cycle. If you get your period between now and the 10th of April we would love for you to be a part of our study.

You will be asked to do three tests – a bench press, leg press, and push-ups (you can choose to do it from your knees or toes). There will be at least two sessions (no more than three). A session will take about 45 minutes, and we will coordinate with you to find the right time to do the tests.

You do not need to be an athlete or a super fit person because we are looking at the changes over the course of your period. It’s OK if you are not familiar with the gym or exercises because we will be there with you to walk you through them and answer your questions.

We accept anyone who menstruates (if you are taking hormonal contraceptives, you can still participate.)

If you are willing to participate, please contact Val Gabriychuk at gabriychukv19@georgefox.edu or Sarah Julian at sjulian19@georgefox.edu.

Do you think you could survive the apocalypse? Put your survival skills to the test next week in Bruins vs. Foxes!

This traditional event is a week-long, campus-wide game of tag. As a participant, you can start as a Bruin and try to complete challenges throughout the week to rack up points. But beware! Foxes lurk in the shadows and will stop at nothing to turn you into one of them. Can you make it to the end of the week without getting tagged by a Fox?

Learn more and sign up here. The game begins the morning of this Monday, April 10, on the Newberg campus. Good luck, Bruins!

If you have any questions, reach out to Lilly McAfee at lmcafee19@georgefox.edu.
