If you’re thinking about applying to the physician assistant (PA) program at Fox, let me know by Monday!
I’ve teamed up with the registrar’s office to add PA prerequisite classes to your degree plan prior to registering for summer classes to help you stay on track. You don’t have to take these classes. They’re just hanging out when you’re ready.
Your advisor can also see these classes, providing you with the best support. Shoot me an email to join the cool kids in the pre-PA student group.

Tomorrow (Wednesday), at 7 p.m. in Hoover 105, the School of Theology has the distinct pleasure of hosting what promises to be a lively and engaging conversation between George Fox professor Phil Smith and Frederick Bauerschmidt, a professor of theology at Loyola University, on the virtue of faith.
Smith and Bauerschmidt will discuss the virtue of faith – what it is and why it matters – from not just their own distinct disciplines, but also by drawing explicitly from their Quaker and Catholic perspectives, respectively.
The night will be informal and geared toward the questions and concerns of those present. We hope to see you there! Chapel credit is available for students.
