Maybe a birthday is coming up, or you’re already worried about what you’re going to get your loved ones for Christmas. No need to sweat – the Maker Hub has many machines and tools to cover your gift-making needs!

The Maker Hub’s Stahls Maxx Clam Heat Press is a machine used to transfer graphics onto items like T-shirts, bags and jerseys. Materials that can be transferred include heat transfer vinyl (HTV), screen printed transfers, rhinestones and more. Within the Hub, the heat press works in conjunction with the vinyl printer/cutter as well as the dye sublimation printer. Check out this video to see how it works! For more information on how you can make a custom shirt, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki page.

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 use 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.

Would you like to experience a productive conversation about an intense issue with someone who disagrees with you – one where you both listen well and understand each other for the purpose of understanding rather than persuading, and without resorting to insults, putdowns or other hateful speech?

Are you willing to listen to the other side, and are you willing to speak to the other side with respect?

To promote a fun and positive environment around the Halloween and harvest party season, the Office of Student Life has a few tips on avoiding cultural appropriation in your costume choice:

• Avoid clothing that belongs to the traditions of a people group other than your own.
• Avoid anything that involves blackface, Native/Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Hispanic, Latinx representation, etc.
• Ask yourself: Why do I want to wear this costume? Could my costume be misunderstood if I don’t understand its origin or cultural context?
• Not sure what cultural appropriation is? Stop by the Intercultural Resource Center (IRC) and ask D’metri, Jesse or Katrina about it.

If you have any questions, please contact the Student Life office or the Intercultural Resource Center.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will be hosting Bruin Preview on campus Friday, Oct. 28. With around 500 visitors expected on campus, we are asking GFU students and employees to help extend the Be Known promise throughout the day. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Use street parking instead of campus parking lots. Guests will be arriving on campus Friday between 8 and 8:30 a.m. and will fill all the main campus parking lots.
• Be mindful of guests in your housing area. We will have housing tours circulating through Edwards, Gulley, Pennington and HMS from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tour groups will be viewing dorm lobbies and a room in each dorm.
• Plan for a busier-than-usual lunch in Canyon Commons. Guests will be going through the main server lines and will eat in the main dining area. If you see a family looking for a spot to sit, invite them to join you.
• Sixty prospective students have opted to stay overnight on Thursday night before the main event. Be welcoming to prospective students in your on-campus living areas starting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
