The Daily Bruin

The event detailed below has been canceled. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The university community is invited to Art Talk tonight (Monday) as graphic designer David Carson speaks from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Chehalem Cultural Center (415 E. Sheridan St.).

Carson is an American graphic designer, art director and surfer. He is best known for his innovative magazine design and use of experimental typography. He was the art director for the magazine Ray Gun, in which he employed much of the typographic and layout style for which he is known. In particular, his widely imitated aesthetic defined the so-called “grunge typography” era.

There will be food and drink at the talk, as well as a question-and-answer time.

Contact Elizabeth Herrera (herrerae16@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Last call for the lost and found! It is filled to the brim, and all items not reunited with their owners will be donated to charitable causes on Friday afternoon, Nov. 10. Stop by the Security office during office hours to look for your lost item(s) before it’s too late.

Also, if you have left-behind items in your offices, get them to the Security office as soon as possible. Thanks!

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.

Participate in International Cultural Celebration Week!

One of the exciting events of International Cultural Celebration Week is the Cultural Fair. The Cultural Fair is a two-hour period during which students have the chance to share their own cultural experience, or a culture they feel particularly drawn to, with the George Fox community by hosting a table displaying that culture. It is a wonderful opportunity for other students to taste, feel, hear, see and learn about other countries, regions and backgrounds.

There is still a need for students to participate in this wonderful event which will occur on Wednesday, Nov. 15 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Canyon Commons. Would you be interested organizing a booth? You will be reimbursed up to $50 for any items that need to be printed or purchased. We hope you will consider participating!

Residence Life is looking for students that exhibit Christian maturity, humility, and leadership skills for our 2018-19 leadership teams. Presently, 66 students serve as Resident Assistants and Assistant Area Coordinators. We are looking for men and women who (a) seek to be stretched and transformed in their leadership roles, (b) value the diversity of our faith community, and (c) desire to invest deeply into the communities flourishing and growth. We would value your suggestions and recommendations for students to be considered for these positions.

We will personally encourage the students you recommend to seek candidacy in our programs. Past and current student leaders have reported that recommendations from peers, staff and faculty are one of the most important reasons they consider these positions. Personal encouragement goes a long way for students, especially for those who struggle to see themselves as qualified for leadership positions.

If you would like to recommend a student, fill out this response form by Monday, Nov. 19. We have moved to an electronic format for recommendations to reduce paper waste and costs.

If you have any questions, contact Dexter Ballard (ballardd@georgefox.edu).

Catalyst Alternative High School in Newberg is looking for math tutors.

These students are some of the brightest out there, but due to past complications in school and/or home life, many of them have given up. The extra encouragement and guidance from you would be crucial to them understanding the material. The math levels are high school algebra 1 & 2, geometry, and statistics.

The Office of Spiritual Life (SpiL) offers students annual opportunities to participate in SpiL trips. These domestic and international trips last anywhere from one to four weeks and challenge students to learn from and work alongside great people and model organizations in the context of their culture, community and complexities.

These trips are designed to share the “Be Known” promise beyond our campus as students meet, befriend and serve “Christ in the least of these,” particularly among people experiencing the various and complex realities of under-resourced communities. Our traveling teams do so by immersing in the cultural contexts and perspectives that exist outside of students’ familiar home culture and utilizing service as a means of nurturing Christian community development.

Our teams go with the mindset of being both learners and servants. Our primary goal through these short-term trips is to recognize, learn from, accentuate, encourage and build upon the assets and gifts of our global neighbors, partner organizations, and the neighbors and communities they live amongst and serve long term. We aspire to listen and learn, encourage and serve alongside to help enhance sustainable ministry and Christian community development, with the goal of coming home with a greater understanding of the kingdom and mission of God and our role in it wherever we live.

For more information and to apply, go to georgefox.edu/spiltrips. Applications are due Monday, Nov. 13.

So, in the words of Jesus, “Come and see!” (John 1:39)
