The Daily Bruin

If you could teach someone about COVID-19 and the quarantine 100 years from now, what would you share? What records and artifacts would you give them to learn from? In 100 years where would historians find these records?

We in archives invite George Fox students and employees to share your COVID-19 story with this submission form. How has this pandemic impacted your life? What has this experience been like for you? Sharing your experiences now will help people in the future understand what life was like during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you have any questions, contact Rachel Thomas at rthomas@georgefox.edu.

With this summer being so unusual, you may wonder about service hours in Plant Services. Our operations are occurring from 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but our office hours are from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

If you have any questions, please direct them during office hours. Thank you!

The Beebe Post Office will be locked for the summer but will still be accessible to students who need to check their mail. Students will need to call Campus Public Safety (503-554-2090) to gain access to their mailboxes.

Mail Services will continue to deliver mail on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for the duration of the summer. 

Students who have mailboxes in other buildings will also need to call Campus Public Safety in order to access their mailboxes.
