The safety and well-being of all of our employees is of the highest importance, and we would like to take an opportunity to remind everyone what to do if they sustain an illness or injury at work.
Please report any work-related accident/injury, no matter how slight, to your supervisor right away, so we can provide timely assistance, care, and benefits as appropriate for the situation.
Supervisors, it is a requirement that you contact HR immediately to report workplace illness or injury and receive assistance with next steps.
To find out more about the appropriate steps in case there is an accident at work or on campus, please review our Work Injury Protocol. George Fox is concerned about your health and recovery should you experience an on-the-job injury or illness.

In the spring of 2022, the engineering department will be offering a new elective class designed for non-engineering majors: Introduction to the Maker Hub (Class Code: ENGR 285). Please inform your students of this great opportunity.
The course will be heavily cohort-based with students working together to help each other, along with faculty and staff in the Maker Hub. The course is scheduled for Monday/Wednesday/Friday at noon in the Maker Hub computer lab (3 credits). The only prerequisite is a desire to make things.
Course Information:
This course is designed to introduce students to the software and equipment available in the Maker Hub. Topics include 3D Modeling (used in 3D Printing, waterjet machines), Vector Graphics (used by our laser cutting and vinyl cutting machines), introductory electronics (soldering and simple circuits with actuators and sensors), and basic programming and embedded control systems (implemented with Arduino).
The course will consist of several small projects using common pieces of equipment, along with the freedom to engage with a wider set of equipment (welding, metalworking, woodworking, etc.) based on student interest. Students will each design and fabricate their own unique final project.

Please be aware that the last day to withdraw from a class with a “W” grade is this Sunday, March 28. If you review your mid-semester grades and think that it is in your best interest to withdraw from a class, you must do so in MyGeorgeFox by following these instructions by 11:59 p.m. on March 28.
Withdrawal from a class records a “W” grade on your transcript. A “W” grade has no impact on your GPA. However, reducing your number of completed courses this semester may affect future semester planning.
Ken Starr, former solicitor general of the United States, federal court of appeals judge, and president of Baylor University, will speak in the university’s Bauman Auditorium this Monday, March 29, at 6:30 p.m.
His lecture, “The Prophetic Call to Justice: Safeguarding Our Fundamental Rights,â€Â draws from his new book on religious liberty. Starr, who has argued 36 cases before the United States Supreme Court, is one of the most prominent attorneys in America.
On Tuesday, March 30, Starr will meet informally at 11 a.m. with students interested in attending law school (location TBA). If you have questions about either event, please contact Mark David Hall at mhall@georgefox.edu.Â
We regret that, because of COVID restrictions, the general public is not invited to either event. This lecture is sponsored by the John Dickinson Forum and made possible by a generous grant from the Jack Miller Center and the Murdock Trust.
Please plan to join us in a candid conversation with President Robin Baker and Provost Andrea Scott. Hear their thoughts about Antipas Harris’ book, Is Christianity the White Man’s Religion? How the Bible is Good News for People of Color.
This is your last chance to join a discussion about the book and ask questions! We’ll meet today (Tuesday) from 3 to 4:30 p.m. via Zoom and in Roberts 117 (limited capacity).Â
The pandemic certainly dealt a blow to a lot of summer job opportunities, but that isn’t a reason to be discouraged. Simply repurpose your summer and consider taking summer online classes to save money in the long run!
What do we mean? Well, if you land a job at $15 per hour and work full time for 12 and a half weeks, you might be able to earn around $7,000. Conversely, if you enroll in a full slate of summer online courses each summer, you could shave a semester or two off of your in-person college tenure, saving you between $17,000 and $40,000.
It’s Reason #5 (of 5) to consider taking summer online courses. Learn more on our website, and contact Brian Doak (bdoak@georgefox.edu) if you have questions!
