Welcome Weekend is almost here! In order for our hundreds of new students to have a seamless move-in experience, we need extra cooperation from the staff, faculty and students already here on Thursday evening, Aug. 21, and Friday, Aug. 22.

Staff and faculty: Please plan to park along the street, in the Bauman or Morse lot on Friday.

Students: If your on-campus residence is Pennington, Edwards, Weesner Village, Hobson, Macy, Sutton, Le Shana, Gulley, Brandt or Newlin Hall, we need you to vacate the lots associated with these locations on Thursday evening and stay out of them on Friday Aug. 22.

If you normally park in the Le Shana or Newlin Hall lots, please move your cars as close to Fulton Street as possible so that the areas in front of the buildings remains clear. You can also move your vehicles to the Bauman or Morse lot on Thursday evening.

Everyone in the Pennington lot, lollipop area, Edwards or Weesner Village needs to move to the 99W lot on Thursday evening. Please keep Sheridan Street clear for easier access for our incoming students.

The lot in between the Roberts Center, Gulley and Brandt Halls must be vacated on Thursday evening as well. The Morse lot is also available for Friday.

Questions? Please contact Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090 and view this parking brochure on the CPS website for lot locations. Thank you in advance for your cooperation to help make move-in day the best day ever for our new students!

It’s that time again! Welcome Weekend is our chance to welcome each and every new student as they step onto campus.

With such a large incoming class, we need all hands on deck as we each do our part to make students and their guests experience the Be Known promise. And who better to do that than our own faculty and staff?

Please complete this form if you would like to join our team to volunteer, and we will contact you with further instructions. We need help with drivers on Sunday; if you are available, please select that option.

Questions? Contact Kara Holcombe at kholcombe@georgefox.edu.
