We are still in need of willing volunteers to serve as ushers for spring commencement at Stoffer Family Stadium on Saturday, April 29. The time commitment would be from noon to 4:30 p.m. Help us take tickets, hand out programs, direct graduates’ family and friends to their seats, and help make graduation a special event for all involved.

New this year: All George Fox employees who participate as ushers will have the option to either be paid $50 through payroll, or take three hours off in lieu of payment! Non-George Fox volunteers will receive a gift card in the same amount.

Please contact Laurie Fair at ext. 2140 or lfair@georgefox.edu if you would like to volunteer to serve our seniors and their families on this memorable day.

On Monday, March 27, IT will be offering training on reserving equipment in EZoffice. The training will be from noon to 1 p.m. in Stevens 307, next to the IT Service Desk.

If you are unavailable that day but are interested in training, please email servicedesk@georgefox.edu. Additional training will be provided for those who are away during spring break.

If you haven’t had a car registered this year, and are bringing one back after spring break, you will need to register it in the security office.

Please bring your DMV registration slip to the security office, and we will register it there. The cost is only $15 for the last month of school, but this discounted price can ONLY be done by security personnel in the office during office hours. Just a reminder that ALL vehicles driven to campus need to have a permit on them.

Students who already have a car registered, but are bringing back a different car for the last month, will need to come to the security office for a temporary permit during office hours.

Questions? Call security at 503-554-2090 during office hours (7 a.m. to 4 p.m.) or email Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu.

“Leave it all on the field!” This has been a mantra for all athletes and coaches in their competitive athletic events on the field. The question is, “What about off the field when an athlete is no longer able to compete?”

Practices, watching film, meetings with coaches, and studying stats have all helped athletes prepare for
obstacles on the field. What preparations do athletes make for off it? George Fox provides resources to athletes such as gyms, fields and specialty equipment to prepare for their sport. When it comes to preparing for a career, what resources does George Fox offer and do student-athletes utilize them?

Student-athletes, you have been asked to participate in this senior research project to help determine whether or not George Fox provides the proper resources to help student-athletes transition from sports retirement to a career life and if athletes utilize them or not.

The survey is made up of 25 required questions (marked by asterisks), four not required, and eight optional text boxes that will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
