The Daily Bruin

Do you know of a deserving senior who demonstrates outstanding services as a servant leader on campus or in the community? You can honor that person and the activity of voluntary service by nominating him/her for the C.W. Perry Servant Leadership Award.

The trustees of the Barney II and Moore Foundations have established the C.W. Perry Servant Leadership Award at George Fox University to reward leadership in the area of community and ministry service.

Only seniors (graduating in April 2017) are eligible for award consideration. Up to four $1,000 awards will be given annually. Each award recipient will be required to set aside $250 of this gift to the charitable organization of his or her choice. The remaining $750 will be distributed to the award recipient in the form of a cash award.

The aim of this award is to promote the ideals of servant leadership in the George Fox community. In order for your nominee to qualify, this nomination form MUST be received by Monday, April 3.

If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie St. Cyr or call 503-554-2306. Click this link to go to the nomination form.

Do you have flat feet? The physical therapy program is conducting research on flat feet that looks at the affects of exercise on arch height. Participants will be asked to follow a foot exercise routine for eight weeks. There is a monetary incentive for completion of the program.

Please contact Marcey Keefer Hutchison at mkeeferhutchison@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2454 if you are interested in participating in our study.

FoxTALE will be temporarily unavailable from 6 to 8 a.m. (Pacific Time) on Monday, March 27, due to scheduled maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience.

If you have any questions, please call the IT Service Desk at 503-554-2567 or email at servicedesk@georgefox.edu.

“Leave it all on the field!” This has been a mantra for all athletes and coaches in their competitive athletic events on the field. The question is, “What about off the field when an athlete is no longer able to compete?”

Practices, watching film, meetings with coaches, and studying stats have all helped athletes prepare for
obstacles on the field. What preparations do athletes make for off it? George Fox provides resources to athletes such as gyms, fields and specialty equipment to prepare for their sport. When it comes to preparing for a career, what resources does George Fox offer and do student-athletes utilize them?

Student-athletes, you have been asked to participate in this senior research project to help determine whether or not George Fox provides the proper resources to help student-athletes transition from sports retirement to a career life and if athletes utilize them or not.

The survey is made up of 25 required questions (marked by asterisks), four not required, and eight optional text boxes that will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
