The Hadlock Student Center will be closed starting Wednesday, Nov. 18, in accordance with the new state mandate.
The closure will stay in effect for the two-week freeze (Nov. 18 through Dec. 2) unless extended. We will then reassess plans to reopen for winter break.
Questions? Kiana Rasubala (krasubala@georgefox.edu).
As you are preparing for the extended Christmas break, please keep in mind the shipping address of your packages.
Double-check to make sure the shipping address for your online orders is the location that you are staying at during winter break and not your campus address.

The Academic Affairs Office is in the process of organizing a walk-through Midyear Commencement to be held on Saturday, Dec. 5, at 10 a.m., and we are looking for volunteers to help usher and assist our graduates and their families!
The service will be very different from our typical ceremony but will still include both undergrad and graduate programs. A plan for physical distancing has been put in place and face coverings will be required for everyone.
If you choose to volunteer, the total time commitment will be approximately five to six hours. Volunteers will meet at Bauman Auditorium at 9 a.m. on Dec. 5 for instructions before students and families begin to arrive. The first group will be checking in at 9:45 a.m. for a 10 a.m. start, and the event should conclude by 3 p.m.
To volunteer, contact Laurie Fair at ext. 2140 or lfair@georgefox.edu.
Do you need additional organization in your office area? Are you one of the many working both on and off campus, and if so, do you have the items you need for both locations? The Thomas Center excess inventory may have items for you!
Come “shop†our desk organizers, tape dispensers, staplers, three-ring binders, filing cabinets, sorting and display racks, bulletin boards, desk lamps and more. For large items, choose the item you’d like and we’ll even deliver.
Because these items have been purchased with university funds, they are for university use and not personal use.
For questions regarding inventory, please contact Sonia Rademacher (ext. 2005) or Matt Hammar (ext. 2006).
Please encourage the students you work with to fill out this Be Known questionnaire. They could win a $100 Amazon gift card!
Here’s the scoop: We’re asking students to share how they have experienced the Be Known promise. Perhaps it was when a professor invited them into their life beyond the classroom, or a staff member prayed with them when they needed it most. Whatever it was, we want to hear about it and share their story!
Those who fill out the form will have a chance to win the following prizes:
Our favorite five stories will also be featured in the new Bruin Bound magazine, and all stories will be featured on the @georgefoxuniversity Instagram page!

This year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the George Fox University theatre program has transformed five music practice rooms into five separate, virtual theatre studios in order to bring a live production to your living spaces.
The five separate rooms feature individual mics, cameras, lighting units, projectors, projection screens, costume racks, and props tables. Actors will interact with each other virtually from their separate studios to bring a seamless performance of Silent Sky to life. This is an event you won’t want to miss!
So cozy up with your laptops and various devices and join us for a delightful evening of live, virtual theatre starting today (Friday) through Saturday, Nov. 14, and again on Nov. 19-21 at 7:30 p.m. The final production will take place Sunday, Nov. 22 at 2 p.m.!
To get more information and purchase tickets, click here. Students, staff and faculty can purchase a ticket for $10, or gather a bunch of people (socially distanced) and watch from a lobby or living room for $25 with a “household ticket.”
Join the College of Physical Therapy for a free Zoom webinar, “Three Key Principles to Reduce Running-Related Injuries,†at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 20.
Presenting will be Dr. Alison Modafferi, owner and physical therapist at Run the World PT & Performance. This is designed for all runners, whether you are new to running, run recreationally, or are more advanced.
The one-hour virtual presentation will cover three evidence-based principles to help reduce running-related injuries. We will discuss load management, variability and tendon stiffness and how they relate to running and injuries. We’ll also discuss practices to reduce injury risk.
Our reason for hosting? There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding running-related injuries. Together, George Fox University and Run the World have developed a framework backed by research to keep runners healthy.
