What was life in the past like for persons with developmental and other disabilities? The Disability History Exhibit is a 23-panel collage that traces 3,000 years of a seldom-told history.

From antiquity to the present, the exhibit brings viewers through an illustrated timeline that shows society’s attitudes and how they affect the lives of people with disabilities. Viewers experience powerful feelings as they notice similarities between ancient practices and modern stereotypes.

The Disability History Exhibit will be on display in the MLRC through Thursday, Oct. 19, as part of National Disability Employment Awareness Month. For information about the exhibit content, including PDF and html versions of the content, visit this link. Contact Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu) if you have questions about the exhibit.

Come join us for Matheteis on Tuesday, Oct. 10, as we discuss the topic “Where is the line between free speech and hate speech?” We’ll meet beginning at 8:30 p.m. in Canyon Commons.

Matheteis  is a discussion forum that comes from the Greek word for disciple. Our goal is to provide space for students to discuss difficult topics in a cross-disciplinary approach that leads to learning and understanding. We invite four panelists who are given two to three prompt questions ahead of time. After panelists have an opportunity to discuss the prompt questions, audience participants can also ask questions and join the discussion.

In connection to our topic, the focus will particularly be on the events that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia. Please join us for some good conversation and community! Students can also receive elective chapel credit for attending.

On Wednesday, Oct. 11, starting at 8:30 a.m., Plant Services will be testing the smoke detector/elevator interface in all buildings with elevators on campus. The horn/strobes for the fire system will be disconnected but there will be some beeping from the main panels. During the test, the elevator in that building will be non-operational, so occupants will need to wait or use the stairs. The test duration for each building will vary depending on the complexity of the fire system but should be about 30 to 60 minutes on average. It could take longer if we encounter a malfunction.

These tests are required by the State of Oregon and are based on a deadline, so we apologize for any inconvenience. If you know of any individual or event that would prohibit this testing, please let the Plant Services office know at ext. 2010 and we will make every effort to make accommodations.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Plant Services office. Thank you for your cooperation.

The university and the community are invited to the 2017 Fall Faculty Lecture, “Earth, Solar Wind and Sun,” featuring Bob Hamilton, PhD, professor of physics, and recipient of the 2016-17 Undergraduate Faculty Achievement Award for Research and Scholarship.

Hamilton will discuss the recent eclipse and how this rare sight illustrates the sun’s intricate and dynamic role in shaping the larger, unseen environment of the earth. The sun shapes both the solar wind and the magnetic field which encompass our entire solar system. Highlights from research conducted by and with students at George Fox will be presented using graphics and animations.

Prior to the lecture that evening, the 2017 Fall Richter Student Scholars Symposium will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Hoover lobby. Student scholars from the university’s graduate and undergraduate programs will present their research in a conversational poster format. Refreshments will be provided by the Faculty Development Committee.
