Tamara Wytsma
Director of Outreach, Engagement and Innovation
Each day, I have the opportunity to touch the life of a college student in some small way. Fox is my place of employment, but it is also where God has placed me to serve. Twenty years from now, I believe I will look back on this season and say that these were some of the most fulfilling and fun years of my life!"

Faith Integration
Here, employees are Christ-followers who align with our mission, vision and values. They are invited to join our weekly chapel services, lead small groups of students in studying God’s Word, pray for one another, participate in our annual Day of Prayer, and serve God and others, including at our annual Serve Day.

What People Love About Working at George Fox
I'm thankful to be part of a God-seeking, God-honoring community, especially with my closest colleagues.
Helen Morse
Administrative Assistant, George Fox Honors Program
[Getting the opportunity to] attend chapel means not tending to something else (like my inbox)! I’m grateful for a mini-sabbath during the week – a recognition that we are more than what we do or produce.
Rick Muthiah
Director of Learning Support Services
Fox is a place I have always wanted to teach at. I’ve taught in the secular world for several years, but you can’t talk about your faith there. [Here at George Fox], I can incorporate my curriculum with Christianity and talk about God and the Bible with my students.
Jessica Lopresti
Professor of Communications
I love the community at George Fox. I love the people I get to work with and the fact that we all have a common goal of serving students. I also love that we’re constantly looking for ways to grow, improve and change, and it’s never stagnant. It’s a part of our culture here to focus on becoming better people and learning to serve students better.
