Join the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program for a “Diversity Dialogue” centered around veterans. The event will take place this Thursday, April 9, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Stevens 209.

We will be welcoming two licensed clinical social workers who work at the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) to provide information on how to support veterans as they learn about and access VA benefits.

We’ll also have a veteran share about their experience transitioning from the military into civilian life, and briefly discuss aspects of military culture.

Finally, part of our discussion will focus on resources at the VA, such as mental health support, supportive housing services, holistic health options, and the financial benefit COMPACT Act, which is for veterans in an acute suicidal crisis.

We’ll have plenty of information materials to share. We hope to see you there!

Join us at 7 p.m. this Wednesday, April 8, to hear from Jim Donald, former CEO of Starbucks, as he shares his insights on leading through change.

Donald will move beyond business theory to discuss the human element in a conversation he calls, “What They Don’t Teach You in Business School: Real-World Leadership for the Future.” This free event in Canyon Commons offers a masterclass in the human element of industry.

Donald will provide the “missing link” between classroom theory and the grit of “front-line” leadership – lessons he learned directly from legendary figures like Sam Walton, founder of Walmart. He will deep dive into an “old-school” playbook that validates the daily professional challenges of the modern age through the lens of a servant-leadership model.

Donald is a world-class executive and “Turnaround King” with a storied 50-year career in the retail and service industries. Recognized by the Best Practice Institute as one of the “Top 25 CEOs in the World,” he has held the top leadership mantle at some of the most recognizable brands in the world, including Starbucks, Albertsons, and Extended Stay Hotels.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is hosting Bruin Preview today (Friday). With about 600 visitors expected on campus, we are asking George Fox students and employees to help extend the Be Known promise throughout the day. Here’s what you can keep in mind:

• Guests will be arriving on campus this morning between 7:30 and 8:15 a.m. and will fill all the main campus parking lots. Students and employees are encouraged to take advantage of street parking and the Morse lot (near softball fields).
• Be mindful of guests in your housing area. We will have tours circulating through Newlin, Edwards, Gulley, Pennington, and HMS from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tour groups will be viewing dorm lobbies and a room in each dorm.
• Plan for a much busier-than-usual lunch in Canyon Commons. Guests will be going through the main servery 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 and help direct them to their next activity.
• Offer a helping hand with directions to students and their families!
