The Office for Spiritual Life is looking for post-college Life Group leaders for our eight-week fall Life Groups (the weeks of Sept. 18 through Nov. 10). Life Groups are small groups of undergraduate students who meet together for prayer, Bible study and fellowship.
Groups meet weekly for 60 to 90 minutes at the time and location of your choosing. Participants will select the group they wish to participate in based on the details that leaders provide. Groups are encouraged to use one of three curriculum options recommended by the Office for Spiritual and Intercultural Life that parallel other themes that are being explored in chapel.
We welcome our employees, alumni, family members of George Fox employees and students, and members of our wonderful local churches to consider leading a group. Our fall leader meeting will take place at a location to be determined on Wednesday, Sept. 6, from noon to 1:30 p.m., and lunch will be provided.

Any smoke seen coming from a drain or fixture inside your house or building should be reported immediately to the city by calling 503-537-1234. Smoke coming from roof vents do not need to be reported to the city.
Thank you!
Did you, your department, or program go through changes with the university reorganization? Even if you didn’t, you probably work with others whose coding has changed. Please check out the new Department and Program Listing for Fiscal Year 2017-18 to find out where departments and programs are now!
All of the changes are effective as of July 1, 2017, so save yourself from getting returned forms from Finance with incorrect coding.
Last call for the lost and found! If you lost something on campus from last April until now, and have yet to pick it up, now is the time to do so! All of the lost-and-found items not reunited with their original owners will be donated to charitable causes on Friday, Sept. 1, to make room for incoming items.
If we have emailed you about left-behind items, please come to the security office as soon as you arrive back on campus to claim your items, as space is very limited!
