The Daily Bruin

If you’ve ever wanted to be in a parade (and get a free George Fox T-shirt), this is your opportunity.

George Fox has been asked to provide the grand marshal for this summer’s Newberg Old Fashioned Festival Parade. It’s the start of our 125th year, and we want to recognize the people who have helped us get this far… our employees and students. This is your invitation to be one of the grand marshals for the parade.

Here are the details:

Newberg Old Fashioned Festival Grand Festival Parade
Saturday, July 30
9-11 a.m.
Meet at Newberg’s Rennie Field (Blaine and 6th)

We’re assembling a group of employees, students, parents and alumni to walk and hand out candy. It’ll probably take less than 20 minutes of walking. Some spots will be available for riding and waving. We’ll also have the Bruin bus, Professor Ed Higgins’ 1934 Ford flatbed truck, the Bruin bear (“Pennington”) and the Victory Bell.

If you want a free T-shirt please sign up online by today (Monday, July 11). Follow this link for more info and to sign up for the T-shirt. You can pick up your T-shirt at 9 a.m. on parade day at the staging area.

As George Fox University employees increasingly use Google Apps for conducting university business, it is important that the data being stored there is secure and stored in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Institutional Technology is implementing new processes that will help users identify documents that could potentially expose restricted data. There are a few key details of this process that are important to know:

• This process is governed by the Cloud Data Privacy and Data Loss Prevention Policy. This policy is intended to ensure the privacy of individual’s files and set guidelines for protecting restricted data.
• Beginning Aug. 1, users will start receiving notices of files that potentially expose restricted information to unauthorized users.
• In rare cases where restricted data is shared in a manner that violates privacy laws or regulations, public or domain-wide sharing may be revoked automatically. In other cases, the user will be given notice to ensure that the data is being shared in an appropriate fashion.

Please direct questions or comments about this to the IT Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu or ext. 2569.

Geoffrey Moore, an author, speaker and advisor who has written a million-selling book and advises high-tech enterprises that include Microsoft, Intel and Salesforce, will speak on the university’s Newberg campus this morning (Friday). The public is invited to attend, and admission is free.

Moore’s life’s work has focused on the market dynamics surrounding disruptive innovations. In addition to writing three books (Crossing the Chasm, The Gorilla Game and Inside the Tornado), Moore’s most recent endeavor, Escape Velocity, addresses the challenge large enterprises face when they seek to add a new line of business to their established portfolio.

Join us from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. in Lemmons 8. Questions? Contact Adina McConaughey at amcconaughey@georgefox.edu.

Please be courteous to our final group of Genesis guests as they visit campus today (Friday) by avoiding parking in the Hoover or Stevens parking lots. If you have any questions, please contact Kelly Friesen in the undergraduate admissions office at kfriesen@georgefox.edu or ext. 2248.

George Fox employees and students are invited to attend the Global Leadership Summit sponsored by the Willow Creek Association on Aug. 11-12. WCA’s annual world-class leadership event will be broadcast from the Willow Creek campus to participating churches around the globe.

A special discounted rate of $89 is available for all college and university faculty and students. Please contact Newberg Christian Church (503-538-3104; newbergcc.org) for more information. The church is located at 2315 Villa Road.

Tutors are needed for an open “study table” that will operate from 7 to 10 p.m., Monday through Thursday evenings, during the 2016-17 academic year.

Though open to everyone, a high proportion of attendees will likely be student-athletes whose coaches require attendance. Generalist tutors are needed to help mostly first-year students – and some returning students – with learning, study, success strategies and general tutoring.

Tutors will need to take initiative to provide assistance, support and encouragement to students. Applicants can be from any major. See the position description for more information and application instructions.
