Merry Christmas from the
Alumni Association
The Christmas celebration at the George Fox Newberg
campus has morphed quite a bit over the years, but it
is still one of the most important times of year for
this community. It is a time that, despite the busyness
(students preparing for finals and administrators
preparing for midyear commencement), we take time to
reflect on why we celebrate this special holiday.
