The Bruin Bound Podcast is a podcast run by the George Fox admissions office. Last year, many of the episodes focused on the practical aspects of applying to college. The topics were mostly informational, centering on things like financial aid, transferring to George Fox, and activities available on campus.
This year, we are making a shift to focus more on the voices, experiences and stories of people at George Fox. We would love to hear your story. Whether it is something profound, funny, difficult, intense or ordinary, we want to hear what you have to share.
The podcast topics will cover everything from transition, to food, to fun memories with friends. If you have any questions or thoughts, please feel free to reach out to Satoshi Seth at sseth@georgefox.edu.
