Greetings from the Executive Director
George Fox students encounter leadership opportunities that have the potential to shape their lives. Many of those opportunities are on campus, but students are involved in leadership off campus as well. More...
A Note from the Parent Council
I hope you attended and enjoyed Family Weekend. It was a great event because it gave parents a chance to spend quality time with their students. I heard a great phrase the other day: "The problem with life is it is so daily!" Some of us have the tendency to get so caught up in our daily routines that we don't take enough time to call or see our students. I hope Family Weekend provided that time for many of us. More...
From the Dean of Students
Life is made up of decisions. We all make choices each day, whether good or bad. We make mundane decisions, such as whether or not we will brush our teeth before we head out the door, and significant decisions, such as accepting a job offer. More...

Kaleo: a day for people called to youth ministry
On Saturday, January 21, 2006, Mark Yaconelli will be on George Fox University's Newberg campus for a one-day seminar. His topic "Practicing the Presence of Jesus with Youth" will remind attendees that throughout Jesus' ministry He was present to God and present to people. When we remember that Jesus goes before and beside us, we help kids become alive in Christ. If you are called to work with youth, this seminar will help you look at your ministry with fresh eyes. For more information and to register visit www.georgefox.edu/kaleo.

We are very proud of our phonathon team which consists of six student team members and one student supervisor. Each fall the phonathon team calls the George Fox University community with the opportunity to give to the Annual Fund or other special projects. One of the groups from the George Fox University community is parents of students. This year the Parent Council has chosen a specific project as a focus for the phonathon team when they call you and other parents during the second week of November, and that project is for several aesthetic improvements to Klages Dining Room. As noted in the recent ASC Student Project Fund/Parents Council proposal, "There are few areas on the campus that receive more daily use than this area. Most of the 1,034 residential students eat in this facility 2-3 times a day and it is also used regularly for programs and events on campus. (The) dining hall tends to feel a little too 'institutional' and lacks the warmth that such a space should create." More... |
Life at Fox
The Student Life Department provides monthly themes for co-curricular programming for undergraduate students. The themes are carried forth through the combined efforts of Residence Life, Health and Counseling, Multicultural Services, Advance Leadership Program, ASC Central Committee, Chapel, Campus Ministries, and the Mentoring program. The theme for November 2005 is Embracing Difference. Students will be considering stereotypes, oneness in Christ, establishing communication, mutual respect, understanding and celebrating differences, and racial reconciliation.
