The Hadlock Student Center will be closed all day Thursday, Aug. 27, and Friday, Aug. 28, for all-staff training.
We will be open on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and will resume normal Hadlock academic hours on Monday.
Welcome Weekend is happening this week, and we could still use volunteers to help us welcome each and every new student as they step onto campus.
We are specifically looking for drivers for RecFest on Sunday, Aug. 30, from between 1 and 5 p.m.
With such a large incoming class, we need all hands on deck as we each do our part to make students and their guests experience the Be Known promise. And who better to do that than our own faculty and staff?
Please complete this form if you would like to join our team to volunteer, and we will contact you with further instructions.

Welcome Weekend is almost here! In order for our hundreds of new students to have a seamless move-in experience, we need extra cooperation from the staff, faculty and students already here on Wednesday evening, Aug. 26, through Friday, Aug. 28.
Staff and faculty: Please plan to park along the street, in the Bauman or Austin lots.
Students: If your on-campus residence is Pennington, Edwards, Weesner Village, Hobson, Macy, Sutton, Le Shana, Gulley, Brandt or Newlin Hall, we need you to vacate the lots associated with these locations on Thursday evening and stay out of them on Friday.
If you normally park in the Le Shana or Newlin Hall lots, please move your cars as close to Fulton Street as possible so that the areas in front of the buildings remain clear. You can also move your vehicles to the Bauman or Austin lot on Thursday evening.
Everyone in the Pennington lot, Edwards or Weesner Village needs to move to the Bauman lot on Wednesday evening. Please keep Sheridan Street clear for easier access for our incoming students!
Finally, the lot in between the Roberts Center, Gulley and Brandt halls must be vacated on Thursday evening.
Questions? Please contact Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090. You can view the parking brochure on the CPS website for lot locations.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation to help make move-in day the best day ever for our new students!
The parking spaces in front of Edwards, Weesner Village and the Pennington lot will be closed starting tomorrow (Wednesday) through Friday to facilitate move-in times. All vehicles must be moved by 9 p.m. Tuesday night.
Please contact Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090 or campussafety@georgefox.edu for more information.
The university will have added over 250 new parking spaces this year with the expansion of the Morse parking lot (next to the ball fields) on Fulton and Villa. However, the first section of that lot will not be completed until mid-September, with the second portion not being completed until mid-October.
Because of these timelines, parking will be particularly challenging for the first two weeks of the term. While students have received specific parking guidelines and remain prohibited from employee lots, we kindly ask that staff refrain from using student spaces.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation! If you have any questions, reach out to Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090 or campussafety@georgefox.edu.

Bon Appetit has made a small update to CaterTrax over the summer. When placing an order, you may notice a new campus menu has been added. This is the same internal menu you’ve always used. Please see this quick reference for how to access the menu.
If you need access to the internal campus menu, please reach out to us and we’ll be happy to add you.
The menu displayed on the main homepage is our external menu, intended for off-site events. Please don’t be alarmed if you notice slightly higher prices on that menu.
If you only use CaterTrax to purchase our VIP Meal Plan, don’t worry; we’ve kept that option on the main homepage for your convenience.
As always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us at catering@georgefox.edu.
