The Hadlock Student Center has new, adjusted hours this year. Please note that we are open on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 5, for normal hours of operation.
Please review the hours below and contact AJ Heil at aheil@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.
George Fox University is excited to announce a couple new opportunities for our students and recent graduates to take part in short-term, professional, paid work experiences through Parker Dewey (paid) and Forage (not paid) micro-internships.
Through these short-term, project-centered experiences, our students can demonstrate their skills, explore career paths and expand their professional networks. Unlike a traditional internship, these opportunities typically range from five to 40 hours of work and are deadline-driven as opposed to set during specific hours.
Not only does this program help the companies across various industries and departments who are looking for the skills our students and graduates possess, but it also allows our students to build real-world experience. Additionally, by engaging these companies early in their college careers, our students can make themselves more experienced and appealing candidates for future internship and career opportunities.
Please inform interested students that they can visit the Parker Dewey website or the Forage site to create a profile, and begin applying.
If the students, or you, have any questions or need assistance with this process, you can contact Wade Witherspoon in the CAP Center for help.
The Fencing Club will be meeting for the first time of the semester today (Friday) from 4 to 5 p.m. in Hadlock’s large fitness studio.
Fencing is a is a fun way to learn the art of swordplay, stay active, and duel your friends. Attendance is free for all students and employees. Equipment will be provided (although it’s recommended you bring athletic clothes and a water bottle).
All skill levels are accommodated, from first-timers to seasoned fencers. If you have questions, comments, or concerns, reach out to the club’s president, Mark Berglin, at mberglin19@georgefox.edu.
Come join our retirement celebration for Scot Headley! Drop by to say goodbye to a friend and comrade who has given many years of service to the university.
Mark your calendar for Friday, Sept. 9, at 9:30 a.m. in Canyon Commons (CCD 103). Come show Scot your appreciation for the work he did here and help give him a special send-off!
Contact Becky Jensen at rjensen@georgefox.edu with any questions.

The campus is abuzz with activities as we begin to lay the groundwork for our new art annex and chapel. Various construction zones will interrupt and change what we have come to expect as we walk through campus.
As faculty, staff, students and neighbors, we all share a responsibility for our personal safety around campus, especially in those areas where construction traffic will be most prevalent. Please review these construction zone safety tips.
If you have any safety concerns or questions, please reach out to Kim Knoernschild, our environmental health and safety specialist, at kknoernschild@georgefox.edu.
With the combination of rising food costs, inflation and gas prices, food banks are facing significant challenges in getting government-subsidized food. In addition, Yamhill Community Partnership’s (our connection to the Oregon Food Bank) freezer broke, and, due to supply chain issues, it won’t be repaired for several weeks.
This has greatly impacted the Bruin Community Pantry food bank’s ability to provide frozen meat to our clients. Last month we began to purchase ground meat – the easiest meat for our students to prepare – from Grocery Outlet to offset this situation. However, our budget is unable to sustain this for long.
We are reaching out to the George Fox community to let you know about this situation, and invite you to participate in financially supporting this effort or to purchase ground meat and donate it to the Bruin Community Pantry.
If you would like to become a financial partner with the BCP, please contact advancement at giving@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2110 for details on how to either give monthly or make a one-time gift.
If you would like to donate frozen ground meat to the food bank, please contact Jere Witherspoon to arrange a drop-off at the food bank in Roberts 110. You can call or email Jere at jwithers@georgefox.edu or call her at 503-554-2316.
Thank you for considering this opportunity.
