The Daily Bruin

It takes a village to make our football games a success. Interested in a volunteer opportunity to serve our awesome Bruin football fans? Then Bruin Brigade is the place for you!

The Bruin Brigade is a team of volunteers who help at the ticket tent, gates and in the parking lots directing traffic prior to every home game. The team arrives two hours prior to kickoff and are free to enjoy the rest of the game starting at halftime. All volunteers will receive a meal prior to each game they volunteer, free entry into the second half, and a T-shirt.

If this sounds like something you would like to help with, please email Mindy Mickelson in the athletics department at mmickelson@georgefox.edu with your first and last name, the games you can volunteer, and your T-shirt size.

Please note: We are asking for a three-game commitment to receive a T-shirt. Volunteers working the gates will need to be willing to use their phone to scan in tickets through the HomeTown Gate app (free on app store). Wi-Fi is available at the gates.

We have been so busy preparing for our students and the new academic year. It is stunning how many people and how much individual and collective effort and logistics go into a successful enrollment and education.

We are grateful for the Lord to carry us through some challenging times this year and we appreciate you and your relentless work and love for our George Fox community.

In the midst of all this incredible work, we encourage you to pause, take a deep breath, and connect with the life giving power of the Holy Spirit.

Be well.

Three things you need to know about COVID-19 and campus life:

1. Wear your face masks where required. By state mandate, masks are required in indoor public spaces and at outdoor public settings where six feet of physical distancing is not possible.

2. Let us know if you have symptoms. Students and employees who experience COVID-19 or cold symptoms should quarantine and let the university know by completing the COVID Care Form. We can help you – and protect our community – if you let us know.

3. Free COVID testing and vaccinations are available on the Newberg campus. Contact the Health and Counseling Center to make an appointment (503-554-2340).

The Maker Hub would like to welcome back the whole Fox community with a fun game night this Thursday, Sept. 2, from 4 to 7 p.m. This will include vintage Atari video games and boardgames.

We are also encouraging folks to bring their own gaming consoles and hook them up to the flat-screen TVs in the meeting rooms. LAN party in the computer lab, anyone? No need to RSVP, just show up!

This event will also double as a Quiz Party. You may be aware that you need to pass a Canvas quiz to gain access to the Maker Hub (link found on the Maker Hub wiki page). But don’t worry, the quiz is not a requirement for the game night; the doors will be propped open.

We are treating it like an open-house event, so bring your friends, have fun, look around, ask questions, and take the quiz if you would like to get connected with the Maker Hub.
