The campus will look a bit different on Saturday, Oct. 10, as we expect to host around 3,000 guests for homecoming weekend and our football game. Here are some things to make note of:

Bauman Parking Lot
Be sure to move your cars out of the Bauman parking lot on Friday evening. This space will be dedicated to vendors and tailgating on Saturday. Stop by on Saturday and check out all of the food and activities (including a car-smash) happening before the game!

Entrances to the football game
There will be two entrances into the game and both are located in the Bauman parking lot, directly behind the stadium.

Wheeler Sports Center closed
The Wheeler Sports Center will be closed from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. This means the basketball gym, racquetball courts and locker rooms will be closed. The Fitness Center will remain open for normal business hours, but you will need to enter through the hallway entrance located on the field level, toward the end of the building near the tennis courts. There will be security officers who will ask you where you are headed; just let them know that you are going to work out.

Bauman Walkway
The sidewalk located between the football stadium and Bauman will be closed. Please walk around the building and do not move the barricade.

Barricades
If you see a barricade, it is there for a reason. Please do not move them, jump over them, crawl under them, or unlock them.

Circle Parking Lot
The circle parking lot near Wheeler will be closed for the day. This space is reserved for officials to park in. Officials will arrive as early as 8:30 a.m.

Sideline Passes
No one will be granted field access without a sideline pass. Sideline passes are issued to those who are required to work and/or have official business during the game.

Tickets
Students and staff can show their ID cards at the gate to get into the game. Additional tickets can be purchased online or at the gate by visiting this link.

Tailgate Reunions
There will be special gatherings on Saturday at 11 a.m. in the Bauman lot for alumni to reconnect with classmates in a fun, relaxed setting. The reunion will include lunch and a specific place for you and your classmates. Please also join us at the resident life tailgate tent before the game if you are a part of this affinity group.

We hope to see you at the game against Lewis & Clark at 1:30 p.m. and the tailgates prior to that!

Don’t miss Google on campus tomorrow!

The “Googlers” will be here tomorrow (Thursday) in the Cap and Gown Room. Here is the schedule:

• 10:50-11:40 a.m. – Tech Talk: Innovative Ideas for Bringing the Next Billion Users Online
• 11:40 a.m – 1 p.m. – Lunch with Google Engineers (food provided)

Tech Talk Summary: Over a billion people live in parts of the world with severely constrained Internet access. Shortages of infrastructure, of literacy and of market incentives contribute to disconnecting these individuals from economic opportunities, education and political activity. But many people are refusing to settle for the status quo. This talk will explore some creative approaches to joining cyberspace that people have developed to overcome their technical challenges within their limited resources.

Our guests will also spend time talking about Google’s internships and full-time positions for technical students. There will also be time for mock interviews after lunch.

Employees and students: With the tragedy in Roseburg heavy on our hearts and minds, it is a good time to review our Active Shooter Protocol and to also review some of the other available emergency resources.

• Here is a link to our Active Shooter Protocol as found underneath the Emergency Response Plan on the George Fox website. Please also consider scheduling an Active Shooter Training with your department, building or residence that will show you what to do in your building should the unthinkable happen. This can be done by contacting Ed Gierok, director of security. Part one of the training consists of a video, a recap of what to do, and a Q&A. Then, an actual active shooter training scenario happens in your building where, in a moment, you can decide on how to escape the threat, find a place to hide, or know what to do if you can’t escape. This is invaluable training, as those who have gone through it were grateful for learning what to do in such situations.
• In addition, each classroom on campus has a yellow Emergency Response Guide mounted on the wall by an exit door. Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the contents, and also the map of the exits that are hand-tailored for every classroom on campus. Department offices should also have an orange Emergency Response Guide visible at the main reception desk. The section on Active Shooter is underneath the “Crime/Violence/Armed Intruder” tab.
• Lastly, George Fox has an emergency alert system called “Fox Alert.” In the event of an actual emergency, you will receive a text alert. One test has already been conducted this fall, so if you did not receive a text alert then, please make sure your cell phone is listed as a primary contact number in your personal information on MyGFU. When you are in class, leave your phone on vibrate so that you will be alerted to any emergency information from Fox Alert.

Questions? Contact security during business hours at 503-554-2090.
