In this workshop we'll talk about biases and hypocrisies, focusing on how to mitigate their damage. We'll briefly delve into how mental illness and trauma interfere with our ability to learn and grow, and I'll share skills I use to navigate these complicating parts of ourselves. Finally, we'll work together to create a tool for introspection and practice individually using it. You should leave this workshop confident in the use of another tool — be that new insight or community — to once again face a difficult world. Read more

How do we make the most of the budgets we are given? The limited staffing we have? And reach as many students as possible with outreach events? This article explores a model for resource sharing in higher education to make the most of events and catch the attention of the students. The study covers the 2022 Welcome Weekend event at George Fox University, the Puzzle Hunt, hosted by the Murdock Library, the Academic Resource Center, and Disability and Accessibility Services. This interpersonal relationship-building model can be modified for different departments to make the most of limited resources and use a mutual aid approach to overcome barriers within the academic system to serve students and support each other better.
