The Daily Bruin

The George Fox physical therapy department, along with the Career and Academic Planning Center, will host our first Physical Therapy Career Fair today (Monday) from 3:30 to 7 p.m. in Canyon Commons.

This event is open to biology and kinesiology students and any others interested in physical therapy. Come meet those in the industry who are looking for future interns and employees from George Fox.

Faculty, please encourage students to attend!

If you have any questions, contact Wade Witherspoon at wwitherspoon@georgefox.edu.

Ben Bowman is a Democrat in the Oregon State Legislature. Reagan Knopp is a Republican political activist. They disagree … a lot! But they also work together to produce The Oregon Bridge, the best political podcast in the state.

How do they do it? How do they relate to their guests from across the political spectrum? How do they keep the podcast so upbeat and civil? What effect are they trying to have on Oregon politics? How much pushback do they get from people in the two major parties? What can we learn from their experience?

Come find out tonight (Monday) at 7:15 p.m. in Hoover 105. This event is sponsored by the George Fox University Civility Project. For further information, contact Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu.

Join us on Wednesday, Nov. 15, at 7 p.m. for a discussion on navigating careers and motherhood. This workshop-style event will be led by Brandy Walton. Walton is both a business professor who has been teaching undergraduate students for 15 years and a mother of four.

While there is no “right” way to navigate these parts of life, we hope to facilitate an encouraging and valuable discussion. Bring your questions and prepare to explore this topic with friends! Use this link to register. We hope to see you there!

If you have questions, email Bryn Heikes at bheikes20@georgefox.edu.

The Students for Life Club is hosting Autumn Higashi this Wednesday, Nov. 15, at 6 p.m. in EHS 102 for her fall 2023 tour: “Planned Parenthood Betrays Women.”

Here is what Autumn has to say about the event: “This tour will encourage and inform pro-life students on how they can be an authentic support system for the pregnant and parenting mothers on their campus and their communities. Women deserve better than Planned Parenthood, and I am excited to bring that message to the West Coast.”

Bring your friends! We can’t wait to see you there! If you have any questions, you can email Abby at aantonov21@georgefox.edu.

Are you curious about AI, its promise, uses, and dangers? We are all trying to understand how we can make responsible, ethical use of AI in our everyday work, but also whether our career goals or ambitions will need to adjust.

Join History Professor Travis Ross in GEED 285/485: Teaching & Learning with AI this spring.

An interdisciplinary elective available for either upper or lower division credit, this course will critically engage with the past, present, and near future of AI. There are no prerequisites and no expectation that students in the course will know how to program, though students who do — and those who are willing to learn — are certainly welcome.

Together, we will apply AI critically and creatively to real problems, investigating its potential by pushing its limits. How do these models work? What can we make them do for us? What will be left to humans in the future and how can we prepare for the age of AI?

This course will be hybrid, meet in-person Wednesday afternoons from 1 to 2:50 p.m. with asynchronous online components, too. It will be highly collaborative, centered around team- and project-based learning.

If you are curious — even cautiously curious — please inquire with professor Ross at tross@georgefox.edu.

The George Fox Business Club is hosting its second student-led gathering tomorrow (Tuesday) from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in Stevens 207! This is a chance to connect with students across all business majors, enjoy some snacks, and exercise your intuition, creativity, and communication skills.

It’s application season, and that means interviews. Come join us for our November gathering activity: “Interviews Gone Wild.”

For “Interviews Gone Wild,” you’ll have a chance to practice your communication skills with a light-hearted series of team activities focusing on interviewing. We’ll challenge you to think about how you would respond to different interview scenarios, and then give you the chance to design your own fictional job posting, resume, and interview questions. Enjoy snacks, laugh, and connect with your peers!

RSVP here to let us know you’re coming. See you tomorrow!
