It’s that time again! Welcome Weekend is our chance to welcome each and every new student as they step onto campus. With such a large incoming class we need all hands on deck, as we each do our part to make students and their guests feel the “Be Known” promise.

And who better to do that than our own faculty and staff? Please complete this form and we will contact you with further instructions.

With another large incoming class and a new dorm we are needing many hands to help move in incoming students on Thursday, Aug. 27. We are spread thin trying to make sure there are enough hands at each move-in location. We would love your help, even for just a couple hours that morning. You can sign up using our Welcome Weekend volunteer form.

Questions? Contact Charlotte Gray at cgray12@georgefox.edu.

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.

Now is the time to order university stationery. The collective order helps keep costs low – the higher the volume, the lower the cost. Consequently, it is most economical to overestimate needs and store a small surplus.

Marketing Communications will be accepting orders through Monday, Aug. 17. For order instructions, visit our stationary page. Continue to purchase all non-departmental stationery (including “second-sheet letterhead”) through Print Services.

Please contact Danette Newkirk at dnewkirk@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

Please join us for a farewell reception for Vern Choin beginning at 3 p.m. today (Thursday) in Portland Center’s Room 155. He has faithfully served at the university’s Portland Center for 12 years.

Please help us welcome our summer visitors at Summer Visit Day on Friday, Aug. 7, by showing courtesy and parking somewhere other than the Hoover or Stevens parking lots.

Thank you,

We will have the large video board at Stoffer Family Stadium up and running during Welcome Weekend and would like to have as many campus groups and departments as possible represented. This will be a really great way to “advertise” during a time when many people are on campus.

If you have content that you would like put up on the video board, please send it to Elise Trask (etrask@georgefox.edu) by August 15. Here are a few guidelines:

• Image must be 16×9 JPEG (you can set your dimensions and do the JPEG conversion in PowerPoint)
• Keep the text that accompanies the image short and simple
• Be sure that your department/group/team name is submitted along with the image
• Make sure the picture fits within the George Fox brand
• You can submit a maximum of two 16×9 JPEGs per department/group/team

You can advertise an upcoming event, or maybe you have a photo from a past event (Juniors Abroad, music concert, art exhibit, etc.) that you feel represents your department/group/team well. Contact Elise with any questions.

The university’s Adult Degree Program is hosting an evening open house from 6 to 7 p.m. tonight (Tuesday), in Room 160 at the Portland Center to share information about the major programs starting this fall.

Anyone interested in attending can RSVP by emailing adultdegree@georgefox.edu. Questions? Contact Danae Allen at dallen@georgefox.edu.

The Department of Art and Design is pleased to announce the arrival of “The Berg” bumper stickers! Designed by professor Jeff Cameron, these stickers were created for the dual purpose of celebrating our exceptional community of Newberg and increasing funding for our Art Department Scholarship Fund.

Thanks for your support!

We’ve had a great response thus far in the first week of vehicle registration on our new database! A few questions have come up more than once, so here are a few more tips and hints on completing the process for staff, faculty and students:

1. Staff, faculty and adjuncts need to put the George Fox address of “414 N. Meridian St. Newberg, OR 97132” in the “Mailing Address” field, and on the second line put your campus PO box. Permits will be sent to your department box via campus mail. They will not be mailed to your home address.
2. Students: You will not be able to access the vehicle registration database until your housing designation is complete. If you have been approved to commute, please make sure all of your paperwork has been completed and turned into housing. If you have been assigned campus housing, please accept and confirm that assignment before attempting to register.
3. Staff and faculty: If you have purchased additional permits in the past, and wish to have one permit per vehicle, you will need to register the primary vehicle on the database for your gratis permit, and then bring in the pertinent information to the security office along with $5 cash for each additional permit you desire. Security personnel will then register your additional vehicle(s), take your $5 cash per permit, and hand you your permit(s) on the spot. We want to serve you as quickly as possible, so please call (ext. 2090) or e-mail security to make sure that Ed or Nadine are present in the office before coming.
4. Students living off campus roughly within two blocks of campus who qualify for a gratis neighborhood permit will need to bring proof of residence (checkbook, lease agreement with your name on it, bill addressed to you at that address, etc.) to the security office along with your DMV registration card. Your car will be registered on the spot by security personnel and a neighborhood permit issued. Please do not register online, as you will be charged for a commuter permit since you will be coded as living off campus in the database. Please do this as soon as possible to avoid a long wait once school starts.
5. Don’t know your seven-digit ID number that is used to register? For students, log on to MyGFU, select “Self Service,” then “Student Center,” then “Demographic Data” and voila! Your seven-digit ID number will be displayed there. For employees, log on to “MyGFU,” select “Self Service,” then “Campus Personal Information” and finally “Demographic Information” to access your number.
6. Students, the “not bringing a car to campus” option no longer exists on this database. It is solely for those who indeed have a car, will be driving it to campus, and need to register it for a parking permit.

We love to answer your questions and to find working solutions, so please feel free to email Nadine Kincaid or call 503-554-2090 if you get stuck in the registration process, or have an out-of-the-box situation.
