You may notice a few furry-footed residents on campus these days.

We wear masks, stand six feet apart, and apply hand sanitizer more liberally than we probably have in our whole lives. Of course, this is all in a unified effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus on campus, protecting both ourselves and our peers.

Despite being limited by COVID-19, George Fox University (GFU) continues to persevere and plan fall activities for students to participate in.

Many of us, regardless of what we actually want, have been forced into isolation. Maybe there are still others around us, but we’ve been cut off from a lot of familiar forms of socialization. It’s normal for loneliness to creep in during times like these, but there may be some benefits to solitude. By knowing them, we can turn our solitude into productivity.

“The Spacious Place” reached #29 in the Top Charts on Apple Podcasts since we have been in quarantine. It is hosted by Seattle-native Kari Levang.

NEWBERG, ORE. – This past March, students from George Fox University (GFU)’s William Penn Honors Program (WPHP) met around the seminar table in Pennington House, but not for a typical class. Freshmen to seniors gathered to discuss “Love Thy Body,” the most recent book by evangelical scholar Nancy Pearcey, who was scheduled to speak at GFU on April 2.

Suddenly, bright lights illuminate the stage, and screams and shouts fill the air as Eric Nam pops up from the stage floor, the first notes of his single “Come Through” crooning through the speakers.

March is Women’s History Month. To embrace this celebration, we interviewed four women on campus who impact the lives of students every day. While many students are not on campus at this time, those who are should take the opportunity to introduce themselves to these women in George Fox University GFU’s time of remote teaching.
