You are invited to the second-ever Women’s DiversiTEA from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 3, in Canyon Commons 101-102.
This tea is designed to be an opportunity for staff, administration and faculty women of color to share their story. Joining us will be Aida Ramos, Jenny Elsey, Rebecca Yazzie, Tai Harden-Moore and Patrice Brown. Although this event is centered around the experiences of women of color, all women are invited!
If you have questions, email Khadija Bruce at kbruce15@georgefox.edu. Please RSVP to this link.
The entire George Fox community is invited to join together to sing Christmas carols and enjoy cookies and hot cocoa tomorrow (Friday) from 5 to 6 p.m. in Pennington Plaza, located between the Pennington residence hall and the Stevens Center on the Newberg campus.
Join us as we celebrate the start of the holiday season with a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony. Contact Hannah Butler (hbutler@georgefox.edu) or Michelle Dawson (mdawson@georgefox.edu) with any questions.
Don’t miss Winter Formal at Left Bank Annex in Portland tomorrow (Friday) at 8 p.m.! Tickets are on sale now in the Bruin Store or can purchased at the door of the event. The cost is $10 per student and $15 per non-student.
Also, plan to attend the Holiday Hangout on Friday. Dec. 7, in the Hadlock Student Center at 7 p.m. There will be Christmas cookies, Christmas music and maybe even a Santa appearance!
This year, Holiday Hangout is more than just fun. Student Activities and SpIL are sponsoring a gift card drive for underprivileged teens and children in the Newberg area – gift cards in the amount of $10 to $15 that could provide groceries, or anything a teenager might enjoy spending money on.
The living area with the most gift cards will win points for the living area competition. This will be the last opportunity to pick up points for your area before the end of the semester.
Questions? Email activities@georgefox.edu.
Does the success of science and the discovery of the laws of nature threaten the plausibility of miracles? How should we think about miracles in light of the philosopher David Hume’s influential skeptical arguments?
These are among the questions being discussed at a “Doubters Town Hall: Objections to Miracles” this Sunday, Dec. 2, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in EHS 102. The event is being hosted by the William Penn Honors Program.
Isaac Choi, who studied physics and chemistry at Harvard before his graduate studies in theology and philosophy, will be exploring these questions in a talk, followed by a town-hall format discussion with Choi, Abigail Favale and Ross McCullough.
Contact Helen Morse (hmorse@georgefox.edu) for more information.
This is a reminder that, for the next few months, the Canyon Commons building will be closed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. every night unless there is a previously scheduled event (through Event Services). The venue is undergoing some maintenance work, and crews need this time to get the job done.
