This annual event mobilizes all undergraduate students and Newberg employees to serve alongside community partners throughout the surrounding region. As an expression of our university mission statement, “to prepare students to serve with passion,” the university will close all Newberg offices and cancel classes so that we may direct our efforts toward serving our community.
Check-in begins at 8 a.m., followed by a kickoff celebration in the quad at 9:15 a.m. Teams will be dismissed to their service locations at 9:45 a.m., and return to campus by 3:30 p.m. to enjoy snacks, lawn games and music on the quad.
Questions? Contact us at serveday@georgefox.edu, or visit our Serve Day page.

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.

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.
