The Daily Bruin

Bon Appetit’s culinary journey along Route 66 is headed to New Mexico tomorrow (Wednesday). We’ll be on the Klages patio between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. serving up pork adovada tamales, calabacitas, cactus salad, biscochitos cookies, and horchata for $7.25. See you there!

Please help welcome Paige Jacobs as the new Bruin Store manager. This is her first week in her role for Follett/Bruin Store/George Fox. She can be reached at 1478mgr@follett.com, or feel free to stop in and say hi.

Starting July 1, 2019, George Fox students who do not plan to bring a vehicle to campus can request an exemption from being automatically charged the parking permit fee by completing this parking waiver form. Please read the waiver form thoroughly as you fill it out.

By signing this form you agree that you will not bring a vehicle and park on George Fox’s Newberg campus or the surrounding Good Neighbor areas (as specified in the parking policies) between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. 

If your vehicle is found parked on campus during these times, the following will occur:

• You will be automatically issued and charged for a parking permit and be fined an additional $75 for parking an unregistered vehicle.
• You will be required to pick up the permit from Campus Public Safety and an officer will assist you in the proper placement of the permit.
• Note: There may be additional fines for any other violations according to the parking policies of the university.

If you are doing an off-campus internship (clinical, student teaching, etc.) which limits your time on campus to less than two hours during normal business hours, or are taking 4 or fewer credit hours in a semester, you may be eligible for this waiver. However, you must obtain a special temporary permit from Campus Public Safety and display it appropriately to avoid the above-listed sanctions.

Visit this webpage to learn more.

While most student concerns and complaints can and should be resolved informally, there is a formal general complaint procedure described in the “Support for Students” section of the Undergraduate Student Handbook as well as on the Graduate/DPS Policies page of the website.

Note that these procedures cover complaints of a general nature and do not supersede specific policies involving special cases such as grade appeals, sexual harassment, etc., which are covered elsewhere in the Student Handbook, catalog or Graduate/DPS Policies.  

For more information, contact the student life department (studentlife@georgefox.edu).

A training session for Cascade Server, the system used to edit the university website, will be offered on Friday, June 28, from 10 a.m. to noon.

This basic-level session is tailored for editors who have either not edited the website before or need a refresher on using the software. The session will be held in Stevens 307. Sign up using this form.

Questions? Contact Peter Crackenberg at pcrackenberg@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2138.

There have been a few phishing attempts that have been circulating through George Fox emails. These attempts can come in various forms, and they are sent to try to gain access to either your email account or to confidential information. So that you don’t fall victim to these attempts, please review the guidelines below.

If you feel you’ve received a suspicious email, check the following:

• The sender’s address. If it is unrecognizable or something similar to, but not exactly, the sender’s normal email address, it could be an attempt. Please note that a similar email address does not mean the original email address has been compromised; this is called a spoofing account.
• The reply email address is unrecognizable. They will spoof the sender’s email and address while the reply email address is completely different. Examples of email addresses used in recent phishing attempts include “rbaker@my.com,” actual George Fox email addresses, and “mshelton.georgefox.edu@gmail.com.” One attempt used “edu.edu.mail1@gmail.com” as the reply address.
• Any link or odd instructions. If the email directs you to click on a link (even something familiar such as iTunes, etc.) or input sensitive information, it could be an attempt to get your password or other important information. Verify with the sender personally if you are suspicious.

If you feel that you have received some sort of phishing attempt:

• Email the Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu.
• Mark the email as “spam” in your Gmail inbox, which will then make Google aware of the issue.
• Request that anyone who has been emailed via the attempt also mark it as “spam” in their inbox.
• If you did not click on any links or reply, you do not need to do anything further.
• If you did click on a link or send a reply with sensitive information, you’ll want to change your password as soon as you can in MyGFU (this will automatically update your email password). Then go through the Settings in your Gmail account to look for anything amiss, such as an unfamiliar forwarding address or vacation-responder that you never created.

Feel free to call the Service Desk at 503-545-2569 and press “2” if you would like help walking through these steps.

Students: Following are the dates when the vehicle registration portal will open:

• July 1: All commuters and graduate students only
• July 8: Seniors
• July 15: Juniors
• July 22: Sophomores

For incoming freshmen and transfer students, the application for a parking permit will open up on July 1 on the Campus Public Safety website. Approved residential applicants will then be given instructions on how to register for a permit.

Commuters and graduate students may register only one vehicle on MyGFU, and if they have a second family-owned vehicle they switch in-between, that vehicle must be registered in the Campus Public Safety office. This option is only for a second family-owned vehicle, not a roommate’s, girlfriend’s or boyfriend’s vehicle, etc.

Commuter and graduate parking permits are not limited, but residential permits are. Please register when the registration portal opens up for your class so as to not miss out on a permit.

Questions that aren’t answered on our website? Out-of-the-box vehicle situation? Call 503-554-2090 during business hours, or write Elrike Shaw at eshaw@georgefox.edu.

Employees: Be sure to pass this information along to students you know.
