The safety and well-being of all of our employees is of the highest importance, and we would like to take an opportunity to remind everyone what to do if they sustain an illness or injury at work.
Please report any work-related accident/injury, no matter how slight, to your supervisor right away, so we can provide timely assistance, care, and benefits as appropriate for the situation.
Supervisors, it is a requirement that you contact HR immediately to report workplace illness or injury and receive assistance with next steps.
To find out more about the appropriate steps in case there is an accident at work or on campus, please review our Work Injury Protocol. George Fox is concerned about your health and recovery should you experience an on-the-job injury or illness.

In the spring of 2022, the engineering department will be offering a new elective class designed for non-engineering majors: Introduction to the Maker Hub (Class Code: ENGR 285). Please inform your students of this great opportunity.
The course will be heavily cohort-based with students working together to help each other, along with faculty and staff in the Maker Hub. The course is scheduled for Monday/Wednesday/Friday at noon in the Maker Hub computer lab (3 credits). The only prerequisite is a desire to make things.
Course Information:
This course is designed to introduce students to the software and equipment available in the Maker Hub. Topics include 3D Modeling (used in 3D Printing, waterjet machines), Vector Graphics (used by our laser cutting and vinyl cutting machines), introductory electronics (soldering and simple circuits with actuators and sensors), and basic programming and embedded control systems (implemented with Arduino).
The course will consist of several small projects using common pieces of equipment, along with the freedom to engage with a wider set of equipment (welding, metalworking, woodworking, etc.) based on student interest. Students will each design and fabricate their own unique final project.

His lecture, “The Prophetic Call to Justice: Safeguarding Our Fundamental Rights,â€Â draws from his new book on religious liberty. Starr, who has argued 36 cases before the United States Supreme Court, is one of the most prominent attorneys in America.

If the recent disasters that have impacted our state have taught us anything, it’s that being prepared can make a big difference. This is a good time to make sure your emergency alert notifications are turned on for both your cell phone and email
Fox Alert: The Fox Alert system broadcasts messages to the email addresses and mobile phone numbers that students, faculty and staff have provided. It is important that the information is accurate and up to date. Students, faculty and staff can change or update their contact information by logging into the portal at my.georgefox.edu and following the instructions.
ShakeAlert (Earthquake Early Warning): In addition to Fox Alert, ShakeAlert launched earlier this month in Oregon after years of development.

Each forum is designed for a different audience: students (grad and undergrad), staff, administrators, and faculty. The forums are currently scheduled during these times for 50 minutes each:
Please plan to attend if at all possible, as we are hoping for a wide range of input for the team. Watch The Daily Bruin for Zoom links to your designated meeting time.

Please note that Sunday, March 28, is the last day to withdraw from a class without a graded responsibility for the class.
Withdrawing from a class: This means that if you withdraw from a class you will receive a “W†on your transcript. If you don’t withdraw now and ultimately don’t pass a course, your GPA will be affected in a negative way.
If your professor has not provided you with a mid-term grade, please contact them immediately to find out what your status is in that course. Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.
CAP Coaches: Students with a “D†or “F†on their midterms should make an appointment with their CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the ramifications of withdrawing from a class.
Students withdrawing from a class should contact their CAP coach as well to discuss their class schedule for future semesters. Click here to contact your CAP Coach.
