The Daily Bruin

Welcome Weekend is this week! With all the new students and their families we’re expecting 2,000 guests on campus Thursday, Aug. 29, and Friday, Aug. 30. Here are a few important details for employees.

Welcoming our Guests: While this may seem obvious, please greet and welcome our guests, ask if they need help, walk them to the Information Tent on the quad if they have a question you can’t answer, and help us make this a special time for our new students and their families.

Schedule: The complete schedule for Welcome Weekend can be found at welcome.georgefox.edu. There are three schedules: traditional students, transfer students, and families and guests.

Parking: On Thursday and Friday, we need employees to park in one of three locations off-campus:

• Gravel parking lot on Meridian Street (just past Fulton Street next to the railroad tracks) and walk to campus
• Newberg Friends Church (307 S. College St.) and ride shuttle to campus. Pick-up will begin at 7:30 a.m. at the corner of South College Street & East 4th Street and will run every 15 minutes from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
• Northside Community Church (1800 Hoskins St.) and ride shuttle to campus. Pick-up will begin at 7:30 a.m. near the parking lot entrance on East Crestview Drive (just to the east of Hoskins Street) and will run every 15 minutes from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
• Shuttles will arrive and depart from the sidewalk between Stevens and Hoover. The afternoon shuttles will begin departing from this location at 3:30 p.m.

Meals: Employees who signed up to be volunteers will receive one complimentary meal ticket to be used at lunch or dinner. Other employees desiring to eat on-campus can pay as they enter the meal lines.

Attire: If you have a George Fox polo or dress shirt, please wear it on Thursday and Friday.

Questions: Please call the Welcome Weekend office at ext. 2324.

Thank you for being an integral part of welcoming our new students and their families to the George Fox family!
