This fall George Fox University is expecting more than 50 new international students. Their first point of contact with our school is during International Student Orientation. This orientation begins several days earlier than the general new student orientation, and if we were to house these students on campus they would be staying in near empty buildings in rooms without their American roommates. Our desire is to place all of our incoming international students with host families during international orientation.

Would you or someone you know be willing to serve as a host family for an international student during this time?

Our students will begin arriving Aug. 19 and 20. You can choose to host one or two students in your home during the evenings between Aug. 19 and Aug. 26, including all day on the weekend of Aug. 22-23. Families are asked to provide breakfast and dinner. Lunch will be provided by the university during orientation. We also ask families to provide transportation to George Fox between 8-8:30 a.m. and to pick students up at approximately 5-5:30 p.m. Host families will receive a stipend to help cover the costs of meals and transportation.

Thank you in advance for your assistance in this great opportunity to share the love of Christ with our new international students. Please contact Alex Pia at apia@georgefox.edu if your are interested or have any questions.

All employees, half time and above, are requested to attend the All-Community Meeting scheduled from 8-11:30 a.m. next Monday, Aug. 17, in Klages Dining Hall on the Newberg campus. Breakfast will be served beginning at 8 a.m. with the program to follow.

Do you have a love for details, a heart for service and interest in a short-term work opportunity in the final weeks of the summer? If so, you might be a perfect fit for our interim Serve Day coordinator position. Our Serve Day Committee and full-time student intern are working diligently toward this exciting Sept. 9 all-campus event, however we are looking for an interim professional staff member to guide the remainder of the process.

The SpIL office is looking for an internal candidate for this role who has a great deal of experience with George Fox’s Serve Day, event planning experience, and a lightly scheduled August and early September. If that’s you or someone you know, please send an email to Jamie Noling-Auth at jnolingauth@georgefox.edu.

Welcome back to all returning staff and faculty, and welcome to all those new to George Fox! Vehicle registration is in full swing, and there have been many announcements during the past three weeks explaining the process. We ask that you complete this process as soon as possible so we can give our undivided attention to students when they arrive. Here are instructions and tips:

1. The Vehicle Registration link is located under GFU Resources on myGFU - not under University Forms.
2. Sign in using your seven-digit ID number, which is in between the dashes on your ID card. If your card is old and only has six digits in-between the dashes, then add a “1” before those six digits.
3. Have your DMV vehicle registration card in front of you for each car you want to register on the one gratis permit and enter them one after another.
4. If you need to purchase extra permits for additional cars, bring $5 cash per permit and the vehicle information to the Security office and we will register you there and hand you your permit for the extra vehicles.
5. Please include your campus PO box number on the second line of the “mailing address” section. Your permits will be sent to your campus PO box – they will not be mailed to any other address.
6. Your GFU ID number is linked to your preferred name, and that is what will auto-populate in the database, not your legal name. No worries - that will still work.
7. If you did not receive a confirmation email that your registration was completed, it didn’t go through. Call Nadine Kincaid or Ed Gierok in Security at 503-554-2090 to troubleshoot the issue.
8. We’re here to help! Call us or send an email to egierok@georgefox.edu if you have a situation that is out-of-the-box or are having difficulties. This is new for us as well, so we will work it out together.
9. Portland employees need to register only if they regularly are on the Newberg campus.

George Fox University’s football program is back for its second year following its inaugural season on the gridiron. In 2014 the Bruins played in front of a Northwest Conference-leading crowd of more than 3,000 fans per game, had a player named to the NCAA Division III national team of the week, and secured their first victory as a new program against Lewis & Clark College.

In the 2015 season, all George Fox employees are entitled to free entry into the uncovered general admission bleachers at home football games when they show their George Fox ID at the gate. Children under 10 are also admitted for free. If you need additional tickets, you can purchase them at the gate or in advance here.

Employees who are interested in purchasing reserved season tickets in the covered grandstands can do so here.

If you have any questions, please call Sarah Reid at x2105 or send her an email at sreid@georgefox.edu.
