The Office for Spiritual Life is excited to offer internships for the 2021-22 school year. We are hiring for Campus Ministry Interns, Vespers Band Leaders, and a Media and Marketing Intern.

Have you ever received a suspicious-looking email purporting to be from someone you know, or one urging you to take immediate action, or share personal information? If so, you may be interested in learning more about email scams, including email “phishing,” the most common form of email scam.

Join us on Thursday, April 29, at 3 p.m. to hear Janelle Banister, a senior computer science major in the cyber security concentration, present on her research into the human factors behind common email scams.

While the actual mechanisms bad actors use to carry out email scams are technical in nature, this talk is intended for a non-technical audience, and all members of the campus community are invited to attend.

After the presentation, there will be time for questions and discussion; this is a great opportunity to learn more about how to recognize various email scams and protect yourself from being taken advantage of, no matter your degree of technical expertise.

Janelle will be presenting in person in EHS 119, and up to 10 people may attend in person. The presentation and following Q & A session will also be live-streamed via Zoom (passcode: 810674)

Contact Brian Snider (bsnider@georgefox.edu) with any questions, or to RSVP for in-person attendance.

Have you lost a pair of glasses, earbuds or a water bottle? Are you missing keys? Your lost items may be in our lost and found at the Campus Public Safety office.

Please stop by to claim your items that have been turned in. If items remain unclaimed by Friday, April 30, they may be donated.

Questions? Call Campus Public Safety (503-554-2090) or email Elrike Shaw (eshaw@georgefox.edu).

Please note: Campus Public Safety normally doesn’t allow vehicles to remain on campus during the summer if the owner isn’t currently taking classes.

Exceptions to this policy are as follows:

• Student is on Juniors Abroad or winter/summer serve trip
• Student lives too far away to easily drive home
• International students who purchase vehicles here and return home for breaks
• Students on official George Fox activities (sports activities/academic trips etc.)

If a student falls within those categories, they may fill out the Vehicles Left on Campus Policy Form, agreeing to the requirements. This form must be completed before you leave campus, and you must leave a key with Campus Public Safety before leaving your vehicle on campus. 

Any vehicle left on campus without the key being left with security is subject to tow at your expense due to Plant Services/construction activity all around campus during the summer.

For all other students, it is recommended to leave your car off-campus with a friend who can drive it and watch it, as George Fox is not responsible for any theft or damage to your vehicle while left unattended on campus.

Do not abandon your car on city streets, as the city of Newberg will tow it as an “abandoned vehicle” after 72 hours.

Questions? Call Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090 or email Elrike Shaw (eshaw@georgefox.edu).

At the end of every school year many students have good, reusable items that they do not want to take home over the summer. These items often include blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, small furniture, etc. In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of the resources, Phase II was initiated.  We are happy to receive reusable items that students do not want to take home starting on April 24 and going through May 2 at 4 p.m.

The items donated are sorted and made available to summer students and staff, with the remainder of the items being given to different organizations in the local area.

Collection locations will only be available in the following dorm lobbies: Newlin, Le Shana, Brandt, Gulley, Edwards, Pennington, Hobson, Macy, Sutton, and Beebe.

There will also be a drop off location at Plant Services in or near the receiving bay located to the left of the main entrance during normal business hours.

Please consider the following as you think about donating to Phase II:

• Place donated items in bags inside the barrels labeled “Phase II”
• Do not place trash inside barrels labeled “Phase II”
• Do not donate undergarments, socks, or soiled items.
• Do not donate large furniture or appliances
• Do not place food in the barrels
• Do not place chemicals in the barrels
• Computers, Monitors, and TV’s can be placed beside the Phase II barrels. Please leave a note if it is broken.

There will also be large dumpsters for trash located on campus. One will be located near Macy, one between Brandt and Gully, and one behind Klages.
