Due to lack of interest in producing the Bruin Directory, it will not be printed for the 2012-2013 academic year. The Bruin Directory is a student-funded, student-led project, and because of the lack of student involvement with the directory’s design and production, we feel it would be best to allocate those funds to something with more student participation.
We apologize for any inconvenience and welcome any comments or suggestions. Please feel free to fill out this form with any additional thoughts or comments on the matter.
Thank you!

Plant Services is hosting its annual Phase II event this week. Items will be open for viewing in the Macy basement between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, May 2-3, and from 8 a.m. to noon on Friday, May 4.
At the end of every school year, many students leave behind good usable items for those who need them. These items often include blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, little tables, etc.
To help keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of our resources, Phase II was initiated. Many students have benefited from these items. For example, summer work-study students often find items they need for apartment living.
After students and staff view these items, they are donated to local charities.
Questions? Contact Debby O’Kelley at dokelley@georgefox.edu.
