The first all-employee lunch of the year is tomorrow (Tuesday)Â and served from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. in Canyon Commons. Practice some self-care during the busy first week of classes and join your coworkers for lunch! Cost, $3; your sanity, priceless!
Last call for the lost and found! If you lost something on campus from last April until now, and have yet to pick it up, now is the time to do so! All of the lost-and-found items not reunited with their original owners will be donated to charitable causes on Friday, Sept. 1, to make room for incoming items.
If we have emailed you about left-behind items, please come to the security office to claim your items, as space is very limited!
Students and employees: With the influx of new and returning students on campus, it is critical that students already on campus start parking immediately in their assigned lots. This is especially critical in the lot behind Canyon Commons, as deliveries are being hampered by illegally parked student cars blocking loading ramps.
Commuters can park in the Bauman or Le Shana lot until the completion of the 99W lot. Resident East students need to park in the red or red-striped areas (Le Shana lot) only, and Resident West students need to park in the solid blue areas only. Likewise, graduate students need to park in the green areas around the Roberts Center. The only exceptions for these next few days are the Austin (purple) and Morse (orange) lots, which are nearing completion. If you have a Morse or Austin lot permit, please begin parking in the lots as soon as they are completed.
Employees working in the Stevens Center: Please begin parking in the staff lots west of the Stevens building, as the Pennington lot and that block of Sheridan Street fronting the Pennington lot are now for residential students only.

We are so excited to welcome new students and families to the George Fox community on Thursday, Aug. 24, and Friday, Aug. 25! The Welcome Weekend staff asks that employees please park in the new 99W lot (the old Park & Sell Lot where 99W splits) if at all possible.
Bauman and Hoover parking lots are also options once the new lots fill up. Please keep all parking spots vacant in front of or near residence hall areas as well as the Stevens Center since new students and families will be accessing the offices in Stevens frequently.
We appreciate all your help in welcoming our new students and families and apologize for any inconveniences this may cause!
