Hello Commuters!

Our commuter team is putting together some cool stuff based off your feedback to the Commuter Life Needs Assessment survey we sent out! One popular response many of you mentioned was to have some sort of small-group system set in place to get in touch with reps and other commuters on a more frequent basis.

Below is a list of available times that the commuter reps will be in the FoxHole to meet with whoever is wanting to join them. This is an intentional space for the reps to get to know and connect with you, as well as space for commuters to get connected with each other on a consistent basis. If you are interested in joining one of these groups, feel free to go to the FoxHole at a time below that you are available!

Here is when the groups are taking place:

• Brianna: Monday at 4 p.m.
• Jay: Tuesdays at 2 p.m.
• Ashlee: Tuesday at 3 p.m.
• Whitne: Thursday at 11 a.m.
• Bailey: Wednesday at 3 p.m.
• Ben: Friday at 4 p.m.

Whatever happens in the hour is up to your groups! We hope that this can be a time for you to build community with one another. We hope to see you there!

Email Brianna Martin-Ortega (bmartinortega16@georgefox.edu) if you have questions or need contact info for any of the groups.

The university community is invited to Art Talk this Monday, Oct. 23, as printmaker April Flanders speaks about her work from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Chehalem Cultural Center (415 E. Sheridan St.).

In her current work, Flanders ponders the implications of a globalized landscape using a variety of media, including printmaking, painting, drawing and installation. As a classically trained printmaker, she employs ink on paper to create compelling rhythms with color, texture and repetition using a variety of print methods. She is more completely engaged, however, when she challenges the boundaries of traditional printmaking by cutting, folding and sculpting her prints so that they take shape beyond the frame.

There will be food and drink at the talk, as well as a question-and-answer time. In addition, after the lecture there will be an open invitation at the Lindgren Gallery to view her work.
