The student life office is now selling George Fox-branded face coverings! This machine-washable, cloth face covering features the George Fox athletic logo as well as adjustable straps and a shapeable metal nose piece. It also includes an insert location for an optional filter (not included).
Your purchase helps us support our students through the George Fox Student Emergency Fund. Thank you for helping us care for our community!
All orders must be picked up at the student life office in the Hadlock Student Center, after purchase.
Starting Monday, Nov. 30, the Bruin Store will be transitioning to our winter break hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, by appointment only.
Please call the store at 503-554-2540 to set up an appointment time, or feel free to order from our website.
Returning textbook rentals:
We understand that many students will need their rented textbooks over a portion of the break to study for finals. You are responsible for returning your textbooks to the Bruin Store (please do not drop them off at the Library) on or prior to the rental due date, which is Friday, Dec. 18.
If you are finished with your book early, you may come to check it in at any time. If you take it home, please mail it back to us at the address below. In order for your mailed book to be considered “on-time,” it simply needs to be postmarked by the due date.
Address for mailing textbook returns:
Bruin Store 409 Carlton Way Newberg, OR 97132
Instructions for having someone return textbooks on your behalf:
It is acceptable for a friend or family member to bring your book by the Bruin Store on your behalf. They will need to have your first and last name, the phone number that was used for the rental account, and your patron ID number that is included in your rental reminder emails. However, if the rented book is damaged, the person who is checking in the textbook will be responsible for paying the damage fees.
Join Reedwood’s forum tomorrow (Wednesday) from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. to hear from George Fox Provost Andrea Scott, who will be speaking on “Courage in the Time of COVID.”

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.
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.
Join the theatre program for a Zoom production of Madeleine Teel’s Richter Scholars play Life Together, a series of five 10-minute plays based on the book Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The play will be taking place tonight (Tuesday) beginning at 7:30 p.m.
To celebrate the holidays, the George Fox museum has created a new exhibit of historical holiday cards that were sent to students from 1909 to 1910. You can find these in the museum exhibit cases in Canyon Commons.
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.
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:
First place (our favorite story): $100 Amazon gift card
Second place: $50 Amazon gift card
Third through fifth place: $25 Chapters gift card
Sixth through 10th place: Your choice of a Pennington teddy bear or George Fox playing cards
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!
