University Recreation is hosting its annual “Gearage Sale” at the Hadlock Student Center on Friday, Oct. 1, from 3 to 9 p.m. You won’t want to miss it!
New this year: Students, employees and community members can sell their outdoor recreation and sporting equipment at the sale by using a consignment option.
Also new this year, proceeds from consignment sales go toward a new student scholarship fund that helps students participate in outdoor trips and activities that would otherwise struggle to do so because of financial difficulties.
Donations of equipment and cash are encouraged. All proceeds from the sale of donated equipment will go toward the student scholarship fund. Have something sitting around in your garage or basement? Let us know! Drop it off and we would love to try and sell it to benefit our students!
Interested in selling or donating something? Read this Seller’s Agreement and fill out this form to let us know!
Please spread the word about this event to your friends, colleagues, and neighbors! Contact AJ Heil (aheil@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

This is the final call to order university stationery for the large fall order. The collective order helps keep costs low – the higher the volume, the lower the cost. Consequently, it is most economical to overestimate needs and store a small surplus.
Orders can be placed on the marketing communications website and will be accepted through Friday, Sept. 24.
Continue to purchase all non-departmental stationery (including “second-sheet letterheadâ€) through the university’s Office of Mail Services.
