The Daily Bruin

Learn to make the gorgeous hanging baskets that grace our quad area. You will learn this valuable lesson on how these beauties are assembled and help us in the process.

Join us Thursday, May 10, starting at 9 a.m. The session will last approximately four hours. You are welcome to join in the class at any time.

We’ll meet in the Thomas Center’s lower patio area at 1101 Villa Road. Please contact the Office of Plant Services at 503-554-2010 for more information.

Security Services will start tagging bikes left on racks this Friday, May 11. This is to help us identify what bikes have been left behind so we can start the removal/storage process in accordance with the new summer bike policy.

We are asking that ALL students and staff who are riding their bikes this summer to please pick up an identification sticker at the security office starting Tuesday. This will ensure that your bicycle is not tagged as abandoned and we don’t accidentally impound your bicycle.

We are working on a new bike registration this summer with a group called “Bike Index” and will have all the information available before school starts. The best part is it’s free.

Thank you for your assistance in this project. Stickers available are between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Questions? Call 503-554-2090.

The OSAA-Oregon State Activities Association’s state choir competition continues in Bauman Auditorium all day today (Friday) and tomorrow. The event features high school choirs from all over Oregon. Approximately 8,000 people are expected to attend.

Plant Services is hosting its annual Phase II event this week. At the end of every school year many students have good reusable items that they do not want to take home over the summer. These items often include blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, furniture, etc.

Items are open for viewing in the Macy basement today (Friday) from 8 a.m. to noon. After students and staff view these items, the remaining items will be donated to other local charities.

In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of our resources, Phase II was initiated. Many students have benefited from these items. For example, summer work-study students often find items they need for apartment living.

Questions? Contact Dwayne Astleford (dastlefo@georgefox.edu).

As we gear up for the summer employment season, Institutional Technology wants to ensure that you have the tools in place to allow your student employees to work as effectively as possible. Because many positions work with FERPA-protected and other sensitive data, it is not appropriate to have students use their George Fox-issued student email address.

There are several options available to departments to accomplish this. If your department needs assistance setting up an email for students to use, please email servicedesk@georgefox.edu with the department that needs the account and how it will be used.
