The summer registration day, now called Genesis, was designed to introduce new undergrad students into college life. Genesis commemorates the starting point for years ahead for new students in the George Fox community. This day students came to the campus to meet professors, enroll in classes, and meet fellow students planning to attend in the fall. Genesis is the first opportunity in which the students start to create memories and get a taste of what it is to come as a college student.
