The Daily Bruin

The building housing the Employee Empowerment (formerly HR) and University Advancement offices has a new name: West Offices. Located on the western edge of campus, across from the Sheridan Street House and Meridian Street House, it was formerly known as the “Minthorne Office Building.”

The name was changed, in part, to avoid confusion with Minthorn Hall, the Minthorne Gallery and Minthorne Conference Room. The building is leased, which is why it is not named after a person or family.

• NBC Camps for basketball and volleyball will be on campus July 5-9, 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.

Northwest Natural Gas and Plant Services will shut off natural gas to several buildings on the Newberg campus for one day only, starting at 8 a.m. on Thursday, July 6. The shutoff will continue for most of the day; gas will be restored that evening.
