Extend the Be Known promise to our Bruin Preview guests tomorrow

Wednesday, April 1st, 2026

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will host Bruin Preview tomorrow (Friday). With about 600 visitors expected on campus, we are asking George Fox students and employees to help extend the Be Known promise throughout the day. Here’s what you can keep in mind:

  • Guests will be arriving on campus tomorrow morning between 7:30 and 8:15 a.m. and will fill all the main campus parking lots. Students and employees are encouraged to take advantage of street parking and the Morse lot (near softball fields).
  • Be mindful of guests in your housing area. We will have tours circulating through Newlin, Edwards, Gulley, Pennington, and HMS from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tour groups will be viewing dorm lobbies and a room in each dorm.
  • Plan for a much busier-than-usual lunch in Canyon Commons. Guests will be going through the main servery lines and will eat in the main dining area. If you see a family looking for a spot to sit, invite them to join you and help direct them to their next activity.
  • Offer a helping hand with directions to students and their families!
  • 80 prospective students have opted to stay overnight tonight (Thursday) before the main event! Be mindful and welcoming of prospective students in your on-campus living areas starting at 5:30 p.m.
  • All students are welcome to attend a special 7:30 p.m. screening of Monsters University at the Cameo Theatre tonight in conjunction with the Bruin Preview overnight event. Free admission is available for any George Fox student!
