Are you applying to study abroad in the 2017-18 school year?

The deadline for the application is Friday, Jan. 13, 2017; however, remember to start the process before Christmas break! The signature form and the medical form alone can take a few days to complete, so we recommend starting now. Also be aware that the faculty reference form needs to be done by Jan. 13, so be sure to get that to the faculty member as soon as possible.

These last few weeks can be crazy, but get started now! Feel free to stop by the Center for Study Abroad (in Lemmons 9) if you have any questions.

You have been invited to a “Boxes of Love” packing party! It will be at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 4, in the Le Shana lobby. Our aim is to pack Christmas boxes for children in foster care and provide small hope kits for refugees.

We are asking for donations. Suggested items include:

• Toiletries (bar soaps, combs, brushes, toothpaste, toothbrushes, dental floss, lotion, etc.)
• Items for babies (wipes, small toys, etc. )
• Towels and washcloths
• School supplies (coloring books, crayons, stickers, etc.)

Please bring donations to the packing party. Thank you, and we hope to see you there!

For my Magazine and Feature Writing class (JOUR 330), I am conducting a survey for students relating to their opinions of the 2016 election – how they feel about George Fox staff responding to the event, and how they think the university should react toward it.

Submissions for the survey will remain anonymous; however, students can send their name and a written response toward the subject matter if they wish for their opinions to be read in my feature article. I would prefer to get as many participants as possible before Monday, Dec. 5.

Thank you,
