The Daily Bruin

If you are planning on doing an internship/field experience for credit this summer, the process to get that locked in starts now. All these credit requests need to be approved by several people on campus, and those approvals become difficult to obtain as the summer goes on and people stop checking their email regularly.

To make sure you get enrolled in your internship/field experience credits on time, submit your form through Handshake before you leave for the summer. Come talk to Kaitlyn Ragan in the IDEA Center if you have any questions about how to do this.

All are invited to attend senior seminar poster presentations by students in the health and human performance, exercise science, and athletic training programs this Thursday, April 20, in the Wheeler Sports Center lobby. Join us from 11 to 11:50 a.m. to see the great research work our students have been doing.

Questions? Contact Byron Shenk (bshenk@georgefox.edu).

Unlike several of our peer institutions, George Fox currently has no partnership with a daycare facility near campus. Friendsview Retirement Community (next to campus) is exploring the idea of creating a daycare center.

Friendsview needs your help to determine the level of interest from George Fox students/employees in using the daycare service and in volunteering to ensure it is well-staffed. Click here to take the survey.

In addition to providing a paid service, Friendsview wishes to offer George Fox students the opportunity to earn daycare credit by working alongside volunteers and daycare coordinators. To make the daycare center well-staffed for each school/work day, a sufficient number of volunteers/credit earners will be needed.

The benefits of volunteering in the daycare include firsthand experience related to a class or future career and personal enrichment as you support the George Fox community. If you are interested in serving in this capacity, please click the link above.

Questions? Contact Corban Harwood at rharwood@georgefox.edu.

Thanks!

We look forward to spending the evening worshiping one last time as a George Fox community. See you there!

Imagine spending three weeks exploring the life and teachings of Jesus with a uniquely small community of fellow learners! In this journey together we’ll ponder challenging theological questions over cups of tea; reflect through journaling; enjoy depictions of Jesus in art, poetry, and film; head off on a four-hour personal retreat to delve deep into the biblical Gospels; and find inspiration in Jesus’ parables while sampling Middle Eastern food!

This three-week class (BIBL 215: Life of Christ) meets during May Term (May 1-19), Monday through Friday, from 1 to 4 p.m.

For more information, contact Sierra S. Neiman, adjunct professor of Christian Studies (sneiman@georgefox.edu), or Paula Hampton (503-554-2650) in the Christian Studies office.

At 8 p.m. on Monday, May 1, George Fox will host the Oregon Symphony for its 30th appearance in Bauman Auditorium. The concert is free to George Fox employees – a gift from George Fox honorary board member Ken Austin, who cofounded A-dec with his late wife Joan.
