Thank you for your input into the process of determining a possible need for on-campus childcare.
If you have concerns about a student in the traditional undergraduate program, log into Fox360 atFox360.georgefox.edu to submit an “alert†for the student. Submit alerts for concerns in the following areas:
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
This Fox360 Quick Guide provides a visual overview of the Fox360 system; more details about using Fox360 are available in this Google Doc.
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 to inquire about the status of a student.
If you have questions or would like more information regarding Fox360, contact Rick Muthiah at 503-554-2314 or rmuthiah@georgefox.edu.

Do you have a disability or diagnosis that impacted you in your educational journey or in your employment? Disability and Accessibility Services (DAS) is working on a series of videos highlighting George Fox staff members and the intersection of their disability/diagnoses and their educational/professional experience.
Would you be willing to participate in a recorded interview for our gfu.accessibility Instagram page and the DAS website? A student employee would email you to set up a date and time and would facilitate and record the interview.
We would love for students to hear that asking for help or accommodations can be a part of a successful professional life, and that it’s OK to ask for help when you need it.
We would greatly appreciate the experience/insight you have to give the George Fox community. Contact das@georgefox.edu if you are interested in participating.
