Serve Day is required for all undergraduate students! The university will be shut down during Serve Day, which means all daytime classes are canceled and campus offices are closed (evening classes are not canceled for Serve Day). If you live on campus, contact your RA for more information about your Serve Day assignment. If you are a commuter, please meet in front of Bauman after the morning kick-off. Commuters will be able to choose between eight different serve sites and be split up accordingly.
If you have any questions, please contact your RA or e-mail serveday@georgefox.edu. We look forward to celebrating this day with you!
