Important Welcome Weekend Information for Employees
Welcome Weekend begins today! With all the new students and their families, we’re expecting more than 2,000 guests on campus Thursday, Aug. 23, and Friday, Aug. 24. 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 in front of Stevens 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 two schedules: students, and families and guests. Changes in this year’s events include a late night trip to Target instead of Fred Meyer and “The Main Event” living area competition in place of the hoedown.
Parking
On Thursday and Friday, we need employees to park in the 99 lot.
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 & Name Tags
If you have a George Fox polo or dress shirt, please wear it on Thursday and Friday, as well as your name tag.
Questions?
Please call the Welcome Weekend office at ext. 2308 or the Office of Student Life at ext. 2310.
Thank you for being an integral part of welcoming our new students and their families to the George Fox family!
