The Daily Bruin

Interested in getting a front-row seat to university athletic events while also gaining broadcasting experience? If so, consider doing a sports broadcasting internship this fall.

We’re looking for individuals to do play-by-play, color commentating and reporting as our Bruin teams hit the courts and fields in 2017-18. The internship affords students the opportunity to take their communications game to the next level by jumping on the mic to help report game action. The internship is led by Brad Neuhoff, who has more than 25 years of television experience, including stops in Los Angeles, Denver, Minneapolis and, most recently, in Portland, where he oversaw the news operation at KOIN 6.

Under Brad’s leadership in 2016-17, George Fox students were at center court calling the shots on the mic as the women’s basketball team competed in the NCAA Division III playoffs. He also brought in some of the area’s best broadcasters, like Trail Blazers play-by-play radio man Brian Wheeler, for some one-on-one advice.

If you’re interested in this unique opportunity, we want to hear from you. Please contact Brad at wneuhoff@georgefox.edu.

• NBC Camps for basketball and volleyball will be on campus July 10-14 and July 17-21.
• Newberg Christian Church will host a week-long soccer day camp as an outreach to non-church-attending Newberg community youth at Austin Field July 17-21. Last year, 27 children committed their lives to Christ as a result of this outreach, and many have been instrumental in getting additional family members involved in attending church and Bible studies on a regular basis. Approximately 95 people attend this event.
• The Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends (NWYM) is hosting its annual church conference on campus July 23-26. This is the longest-running summer conference at George Fox. The NWYM is a community of evangelical Friends churches who join together in worship and service to impact society through love in action. They utilize the art office located in Ross as their headquarters while on campus.
• The Chinese Evangelical Church meets for an annual church retreat July 28-30. Several Chinese churches from Oregon and Washington gather each summer to worship together and share what God is doing in and through their congregations.

Please contact the Conference and Event Office if you have questions: 503-554-2027.

On a recent trip to Europe, President Robin Baker and his wife Ruth had the opportunity to visit Normandy, France, site of the historic D-Day invasion of June 6, 1944. The experience proved both memorable and moving, as his party included several war veterans.

In his most recent blog post, Robin reflects on the experience. You can read it here.

Parking can be a challenge on the Newberg campus. Taking the construction of the new student activity center and student input into consideration, the university is implementing the following changes to improve the parking situation for all students (undergraduate and graduate; residential and commuter) on the Newberg campus.

• By the time school starts in August, we will have spent more than $750,000 adding 245 parking spaces, and we have opened up more street parking within our four border streets.
• We are increasing the number of parking permit types (linked to specific locations), which should reduce the need to hunt through various lots to find parking.
• Residential parking lots will not be oversold.
• Graduate commuters are gaining three dedicated lots near the Roberts Center.
  a. Graduate students on the Newberg campus will now be automatically charged the parking registration on their student account, but they will still need to go online and register their cars to receive their permit.
  b. If a graduate student walks or rides a bike to campus, please contact Security Services to have the registration fee removed from your account.
• There is now a free permit option for those interested in saving money by parking in the new lot at the Austin Field (near the Austin Sports Complex across from Northside Church).
• Residential parking registration will be opened, giving priority to seniority. Registration for parking permits will open at 9 a.m. according to the following schedule:
  Seniors – July 5
  Juniors – July 12
  Sophomores – July 19
  Freshmen – July 26
• Graduate students and commuters may register any time after July 5 regardless of class status.

As always, we strongly recommend residential students not bring a car to campus. Leaving your car at home can easily save $1,000 per year; there’s a car-share program on campus through Enterprise Rent-A-Car. There are almost always others who can provide a ride when needed.

For more information, please check out the parking website here.
