We are looking for a child actor between the ages of 4 and 11 years old for a student short film (the younger the better, boy or girl). It’s a really fun, spunky film about a child trying to keep the leaves from falling off the trees.
Email, text or call Gina Dodds at 503-881-3221 if you have any interest! We’ll be shooting the film in late September and early October, so we’d love to hear from you as soon as possible!
The Office of Spiritual Life is taking a love offering for Friendswood Friends Church in Houston, Texas. Friendswood Friends is a member of the Evangelical Friends Church-Mid America Yearly Meeting. The town of Friendswood was significantly impacted by Hurricane Harvey, and the church is working to address the many needs in the community.
In chapel this past week, we collected money from students to send along, and we want to extend to staff and faculty the same opportunity to join our students in blessing the church in their relief efforts. Please bring your cash donation to the Office of Spiritual Life by Sept. 12. Because this is a love offering, these donations are not tax-deductible.

Many of you may have noticed a layer of ash on your cars over the past couple days. This is related to the Oregon wildfires that are currently burning throughout the state. As a result, the air quality in this region is poor (especially for those with lung conditions such as asthma). It is recommended to avoid or exercise caution when exercising outside until conditions clear.
If you have questions or need to speak with a health care professional about concerns, please contact the university’s Health and Counseling Center at 503-554-2340.
Academic Resource Center appointments are officially available for the semester! For students to fully benefit from this resource, it is critical that they know the ARC exists and what it is.
If you are interested in an ARC consultant visiting your class and giving a brief talk about the ARC, please email Maddie Lowen at mlowen@georgefox.edu. These brief talks can be as short as five to 10 minutes, depending on your classes’ needs, and are a great way for students to put a face to the ARC and better understand the resources available to them.
The forecast report states we are in for some hot weather over the several days. Please take a few minutes to read this information on staying safe during extreme heat.
Attention Newberg campus employees: University photographer Sarah Small will be at the Crisman Crossing bridge for a scheduled photo shoot today (Wednesday) between 10 a.m. and noon.
If your employee photo on the university website is in need of updating, this is your chance to get it done! Not sure if you need a retake? If your existing photo is more than two years old, is poorly lit, is out of focus, and/or has a gray, brown or black background, it’s time for an update.
No appointment is necessary, and each photo subject will be done in only a minute or two. Solid, neutral clothing colors are recommended.
Questions? Feel free to contact Sarah at ssmall@georgefox.edu.
Do you plan to travel internationally for business or vacation? Will you be going on Juniors Abroad? Will you be going on a study-abroad trip?
If you answered “yes†to any of these questions, you will need a passport. On Thursday and Friday, Sept. 28-29, we will host a representative from the U.S. Post Office in Canyon Commons 102 to help you get your new passport or renew your passport. Save the date and mark your calendar!
This event is open to all – the community and the university. More information to come later.
