The Daily Bruin

Please join us for our Spring Diversity Dialogue with Jason Fileta on Wednesday, March 20, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Hoover 103.

We will learn more about how we live in a time when diversity-focused courses, curricula, and programs are being eliminated from educational institutions and corporations. Many of those that remain are entirely detached from a broader context of racial justice.

How should followers of Christ approach this moment and these issues? This presentation will look to Scripture for a Kingdom approach to diversity and justice.

Feel free to reach out to Kim Rapp at rappk@georgefox.edu with any questions.

After graduation, do you plan on going into a field or organization that is primarily secular? What does it look like for Christians to enter these fields and still maintain their faith and uphold strong ethics?

Greetings, George Fox community! We are looking to gauge interest in participating in a Project Management Group at the university.

The aim of this group would be to create a supportive community where project managers, coordinators and enthusiasts can come together to share insights, discuss best practices, and collaborate on projects.

Some of the key objectives of the Project Management Group would include:

• Knowledge Sharing: Providing a platform for sharing experiences, challenges, and successes in project management
• Resource Exchange: Facilitating the exchange of tools, templates, and resources to streamline project workflows
• Collaborative Problem-Solving: Offering support and guidance to colleagues facing project-related challenges
• Networking: Building relationships and fostering connections among project management professionals across different departments and teams

Whether you are an experienced project manager or someone interested in learning more about project management, your perspectives and contributions are valuable!
