Do you ever wonder how you can motivate your student to visit the Career Services office or check out available scholarship opportunities? I want to share some practical advice with George Fox parents and direct you to resources you may find helpful. More...
From Student to Alum; Your Student's Journey
By Nate McIntyre '00 , Dir. of Alumni Relations
In the alumni office we talk a lot about how people are students for a few years but are George Fox alumni for the rest of their life. I'm not sure if students realize that fact while they are here because they are so wrapped up in being a college student. That is a good thing. They should enjoy these years and get the most out of them in all aspects, socially, academically and spiritually. But "alumnihood" like most of life's "hoods" parenthood, etc., will be here before they know it. More...
Parent's Day of Prayer
March 12, 2005
Parents Pray! It is the one thing we have in common no matter how 'spiritual' or 'unspiritual' we might feel. From the time our children are born our requests on their behalf (& ours) are made in whispers, shouts & tears. From on our knees, through sleepless nights, in noisy bleachers but mostly on the run, we lift up present needs and future hopes of those we love. Now that our children are adults-the still need our prayers. More...

Winter Musical 2005: Smoke on the Mountain
February 2 - 5 and 9 - 12 at 7:30 p.m.
Matinee on February 12 at 2 p.m.
Wood-Mar Auditorium
It's 1938 and the Sanders family is back on the North Carolina Gospel Circuit for their first Saturday Night Gospel Sing in five years. While the Saunders' first-performance jitters cause them to make a few mistakes, testify a little too much, laugh a little too loud, and dance too much, their country-gospel songs are both inspiring and uplifting. Join us for an evening of gospel songs from the good old days! To purchase tickets call 503-554-3844
Homecoming, February 2 - 4 is a fun time for alumni and students alike! Parents are welcome as well to join us on campus during the weekend activities. For a schedule of events, please visit homecoming.georgefox.edu
