The Daily Bruin

You are invited to Print Services’ garage sale today, May 23, and Friday, May 24. Join us for an “open house” style event, from 9am to 3pm. Items will be priced to sell and there will be no holding or reserving items before the garage sale takes place. All items will be on a first come first serve basis. When it’s gone…it’s gone! All forms of payment will be accepted: cash, check or CC. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Richard Silver, rsilver@georgefox.edu.

Do you ever worry about falling? Have you fallen, or do you feel unsteady? Second-year physical therapy students are conducting research on fall risk screening and would love to help keep you safe!

We are looking for adults aged 50 and older living independently in the community. Participation takes about an hour with physical assessments and a small amount of paperwork. You will receive guidance on exercises to help you achieve activity goals that are meaningful to you! Referrals to physical therapy and community-based exercise programs are an option as well.

Sessions are scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon tomorrow (Friday) in the Roberts Center. Please contact Austyn Byassee at abyassee17@georgefox.edu to sign up!

Tonight (Wednesday), the Hadlock Student Center is hosting our first “River Night” from 5 to 7 p.m. Bring a picnic dinner and come join us at Rogers Landing. We will have kayaks, paddleboards and lawn games on hand. 

The cost is $3 per person or $6 per family. Please contact Rob Simpson at simpsonr@georgefox.edu with questions. 

It’s time for a culinary road trip! Bon Appetit is heading out on Route 66 again this summer and will be serving up foods that pay homage to this quintessential all-American highway.

Don’t forget to pick up a road trip punch card and have it punched every time you join us; those who visit us four or more times will be entered into a drawing for a raffle prize at the end of the road!

We are pleased to host the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities’ (CCCU) Diversity Conference on our Newberg campus Friday through Sunday, Oct. 4-6, 2019!

This is a great opportunity for us to join colleagues from across the country to worship, listen and learn together about God’s call for work in Christian higher education. More details about the conference can be found here.

Many of you have asked about attending. We would invite you to complete this online form so we know who will be attending. (Faculty, these hours can count toward faculty development required hours for next academic year.)

NOTE: For every four individuals signed up we get 50 percent off the cost, which would be $200 a person. You or your department would need to cover that cost. This includes all meals, and all plenary and workshop sessions. The deadline to sign up for the early-bird rate is June 10, 2019.

On Wednesday, May 22, a heavy crane will lift the rooftop HVAC units off of EHS in preparation for reroofing EHS and Wood-Mar. For your safety, no access will be granted into either the EHS or Wood-Mar buildings on Wednesday.

Preparation has already begun on EHS, so EHS is currently closed. Any desired access into a construction zone must be prearranged through Plant Services, as an escort is required. 

Both EHS and Wood-Mar will be closed on Wednesday during the heavy crane work, and no access will be granted that day. Wood-Mar will reopen on Thursday, May 23.

If you have any questions, please contact the Plant Services office at 503-554-2010.

Now that the dust has settled from the spring semester, it is a great time to update your vehicle registrations!

Please make note of this car registration information …

• If you are still using an all-white staff permit, or an orange adjunct permit, it has been void for four years.
• If you have yet to initially register your vehicle, please do so at your earliest convenience on MyGFU. Be sure to have your DMV vehicle registration slip in front of you, as the database will ask for some information that is on there.
• If you are currently registered but have a change, addition or deletion of a vehicle, please bring the DMV registration slip to the Campus Public Safety office or email Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu if you aren’t in Newberg so we can update your vehicle information.
• Tired of switching your gratis permit from car to car? It’s only $5 cash to purchase a permit for your second car! Bring your money to the CPS office and we can issue you a new permit dedicated to your second vehicle.
• Did you purchase a new car but don’t have the new plates yet? No problem! We can register it using the temporary permit on the back window, then update it later when you email your new plate numbers to Nadine.
• If you work at the Portland Center but make frequent visits to the Newberg campus, we need you to register your vehicle as well and to park in the staff lots.
• Please don’t wait until school starts to do these updates, as the line often stretches out the Campus Public Safety office door!

Questions? Have an out-of-the-box situation? Call Nadine at 503-554-2090 during office hours.

The undergraduate admissions office is getting ready to welcome its incoming class for Genesis! Please be courteous of our guests by avoiding parking in the Hoover and Stevens parking lots today (Thursday) and tomorrow.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to Kelly Friesen at kfriesen@georgefox.edu or ext. 2248.
