The Daily Bruin

We are now taking student applications for attending the Sundance Film Festival! Apply here.

In January 2020, selected George Fox students are traveling to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The Sundance Film Festival is widely regarded as the most prestigious annual showcase for new work from American and international independent filmmakers. 

Along with the Sundance Festival, George Fox students will also be attending the Windrider Forum, a venue for conversations about the intersection of faith and film.

We are tentatively scheduled to attend from Jan. 26 to Feb. 1. Attending students will be required to notify professors in advance of anticipated absences, and create appropriate academic work plans. Personal costs for students will be approximately $975 (not including food and incidentals), depending on airline and lodging costs.

You do not need to be a cinematic arts or communication major to attend.  Applications from all full-time undergraduate students will be considered, but we will be limited to traveling with approximately 10 to 12 selected students.

During the spring 2020 semester, CMCO 285/485, a selected topics course, will be offered on “Independent Cinema,” and will connect to the Sundance trip experience. Students will have the option (not requirement) of registering for this course to receive credit connected to the Sundance and later semester experiences.

Further questions? Contact Steve Classen, chair of the Department of Communication and Cinematic Arts, at sclassen@georgefox.edu.

We are still in need of willing volunteers to serve as ushers at spring commencement on Saturday, May 4. Come help take tickets at the gate, hand out programs, direct graduates’ family and friends to their seats, and make graduation a special event for everyone!

All George Fox employees who participate as ushers will have the option to receive $50 through payroll, or take three hours off in lieu of this gift. Non-George Fox volunteers will receive a gift card in the same amount. 

Please contact Laurie Fair at ext. 2140 or Lfair@georgefox.edu if you would like to volunteer.

Graduating seniors, do you know about the Pay It Forward Program?

By opting to donate all or half of your remaining enrollment deposit, you can help other George Fox students. One-hundred percent of your gift will support a fellow student who is unable to continue their education or an alum who has a remaining amount due to the university.

Recipients are nominated by faculty and staff members, then vetted for eligibility, and allocations are made by the Pay It Forward Award Committee. As part of the program, awardees are asked to continue the generosity by “paying it forward” in the future.

Learn more about this amazing program during Exodus at the Student Accounts table, or contact Heidi Thomason at hthomaso@georgefox.edu for more information.
