The Daily Bruin

Whether you’re a professor, student employee supervisor, or interact with undergraduate students in another capacity, this message is for you. If you have concerns about a student in the traditional undergraduate program, log into Fox360 at Fox360.georgefox.edu to submit an “alert” for the student. Submit alerts for concerns in the following areas:

• Academic: Missing multiple classes; consistently poor academic performance (no need to submit an additional alert if midterm grades indicated poor standing)
• Behavioral: Concerning or disruptive behaviors in or outside of class
• Emotional: Mental health concerns; unusual emotional expression
• Physical: Medical concerns; extreme changes in grooming, personal care
• Social: Personal, social, or family concerns that are affecting well-being and performance

If a student is enrolled in a course but has stopped attending class or engaging in online activity (for GFD courses), please submit an alert. We assume you would have already tried reaching out to the student and have not had success reengaging the student.

The Student Support Network will assign a “case manager” to follow up with students. Case managers will do our best to give updates to faculty members who submit alerts or provide feedback. You are welcome to contact Jere Witherspoon (jwithers@georgefox.edu) or Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu) to inquire about the status of a student.

This Fox360 Quick Guide provides a visual overview of the Fox360 system; more details about using Fox360 are available in this Google Doc.

If you have questions or would like more information regarding Fox360, contact Rick Muthiah at 503-554-2314 or rmuthiah@georgefox.edu.

Tomorrow (Tuesday), MyGeorgeFox will start using login.georgefox.edu, the university’s Single Sign On (SSO) system, for authentication.

This will bring MyGeorgeFox into the familiar login process used by other George Fox applications (e.g. Canvas, Zoom, Gmail). It also means if you are already logged in through SSO, you will be automatically logged in to MyGeorgeFox.

Please contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu if you have questions.

Whether you’re ready to listen to Christmas music or not, the holiday is approaching and the Maker Hub has many machines and tools to cover your gift-making needs!

The Maker Hub’s HPN Signature Series Mug Press is a professional grade mug press designed to easily and efficiently heat transfer custom images onto almost any size and shape of mug. Create the custom mug of your dreams from small-sized graphics such as names and logos to full wrap, edge-to-edge images.
