The Daily Bruin

We will be hosting our second and final candy buffet tomorrow (Wednesday) from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Bruin Den. We still have a wide variety of candy and will have boxes available for you to fill with your favorites for a low flat rate!

Drop by and see us anytime between 11 and 2. We look forward to seeing you and wish you well during finals week! The proceeds from this event will go toward financing a serve trip and Juniors Abroad trip for students Valentina Kucher and Courtney DuMond.

Contact Courtney (cdumond13@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Join us for a going-away party to celebrate 19 years of faculty service by Debbie Berhó. This open-house-style reception is being held in Minthorn 200 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. today (Tuesday). Join us and wish Debbie well on her new venture!

It will be an exciting summer as we open the new dining hall, Canyon Commons! This facility will feature a large dining hall area (seating up to 555), three conference/meeting rooms (holding from 80 to 90 each that can also be combined to create a larger space), the president’s dining room (seating up to 20), and an espresso cafe (seating up to 60).

In May, construction will also begin on the remodeling of the former dining hall, servery, kitchen and Cap and Gown Room into space for the College of Engineering, which means that the Bruin Den and Bruin Bites will be impacted. Following are important dates to keep in mind in terms of meal service venues for the summer:

• Groovy Bruin Food Truck: Available adjacent to the library from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday beginning on May 2 until the Bruin Den reopens (approximately June 13)
• Canyon Commons Dining Hall: Days and hours will vary throughout the summer depending on the conference schedule.
• Canyon Commons Espresso Cafe: We’re anticipating that the new café will be open for service beginning June 6 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday
• Roberts Center/Villa Cafe: The last day of operation for the Roberts Center/Villa Cafe will be Friday, May 27.
• Bruin Den: Closed from May 2 to approximately June 13, after which it will be open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday

Thank you for your flexibility, patience and understanding as we transition to a new facility! Questions regarding food service can be directed to Denny Lawrence (dlawrenc@georgefox.edu), resident district manager with Bon Appetit Management Company, or Brad Lau (blau@georgefox.edu), vice president for student life.

Left in George Fox van #16 (we’re pretty sure): A red soft-sided case with jumper cables, flashers and first aid items. Have you seen it? If so, the women’s golf program would love to have it back. It has sentimental value. Please return to the main athletic office in Wheeler.

Thank you

Do you like free lunch? Are you a nice person? Do you like interacting with people? If any of these apply to you, we have a job for you!

Each year, the music department hosts the OSAA High School State Choir Competition, and we are currently needing volunteers to help keep the competition running smoothly. Jobs include door monitors, guides and assistants for some of the judges.

The competition is May 5-7, which is the Thursday, Friday and Saturday the week after graduation. Since it’s after school, this would be most ideal for students staying on campus for May Term or living nearby for the summer. Volunteers are needed all three days, and shifts go from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., from noon to 5 p.m., or all day.

Please contact Natalie Marquette at nmarquette12@georgefox.edu if you are interested!

For those of us who were not at George Fox in 1965 when Heacock Commons and the current dining room was built, have you ever wondered what one of the first meals might have been? Have you ever thought how much lunch might have cost? Have you ever heard of the “Quaker Inn Cafe”? If the answer to any of these is yes, join us on Wednesday, April 27, for our “1965 Throwback Lunch” and you’ll discover what you missed 51 years ago!

We’ve rented a juke box spinning ’60s platters and will be featuring favorites like chicken a la king, bologna and egg salad sandwiches, spaghetti and meatballs, fruit cocktail and much, much more – all for the throwback price of $1.25 for all staff, faculty and commuters.

Bring your appetite and we’ll see you in Klages on Wednesday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
