Until further notice, we are continuing to track COVID-19-related expenses. For all purchases made that relate to the COVID-19 pandemic, please enter “COVID-19†in the “chartfield1†field when coding transactions.
Expenses would include personal protection equipment like masks, signage for keeping distance, cleaning equipment, computer software, etc.
This includes all payment methods, including, but not limited to: purchase requisitions, invoices, check request form, Concur reports, expense reports, and petty cash vouchers.
Only one “chartfield1†can be used per transaction, and the COVID-19 code must take priority over another department designation.

Did you know that the Maker Hub has a vacuum former? Our Formech 508DT Vacuum Former is a plastic molding machine that utilizes heat and a vacuum to stretch heated plastic over a mold.
While there are some limitations on the shape and size, the vacuum former is great for thin plastic molds. The maximum dimensions for molds are 17â€x19†with a depth of 7.3″. The maximum thickness for the plastic sheet is 0.25″.
These molds can be made from many types of materials. It is most common to see molds made from wood. Check out this video to see how the top of a quadcopter drone is made with the vacuum former.
The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.
Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.

We get it: You have a lot going on at the moment. The Thanksgiving holiday is right around the corner, followed by finals and the end of the semester. But alas, it is also time to start thinking about your financial aid for next year (or even next semester).

Whether you have a quick question about financial aid, need help with your FAFSA, or are looking for scholarship applications, we want to see you. You can pop in for a quick minute as you’re passing through, or you can sit with us and work while you wait between classes.
Grab a roommate or friend, your laptop, and come see us so you can get your financial aid taken care of for next year and enjoy your upcoming break!
