In preparation for implementing a new point of sale and inventory management system at the Bruin Bookstore, we are beginning the process of returning textbooks to publishers. If you have not yet purchased your textbooks for this semester, we encourage you to do so now. Books will begin leaving the store by the end of this week, so make sure you have purchased what you need.
Questions? Contact John Stewart at jstewart@georgefox.edu.
Do you enjoy discussing literature by firelight while enjoying dessert and pleasant company? Come to the English Department’s S’mores night. Sigma Tao Delta, the university’s new English Honors Society, is hosting the event on Thursday, Sept. 15, 7:30-9:30 p.m. at the pavilion in the canyon. This is a great opportunity for English majors and minors and those who simply love writing and literature to get to know each other and the English faculty and staff.

Have you wondered how you would be notified in the event of an emergency on the Newberg campus?
The answer is FOXALERT.
FOXALERT is a communication service from Blackboard Connect Inc., to deliver emergency information to students and staff.
GFU has implemented the service to provide us with the ability to reach students and staff members with information and updates during unforeseen events or emergencies, within minutes, through phone calls, e-mails and/or text messages.
In the unlikely event of an emergency you would be potentially notified through three different methods:
1. Cell phone
2. E-mail
3. Text message
HOWEVER, for either of these methods to work YOU must enter your personal contact information in your MYGFU account.
Here’s how you do it!
– Â Â Â Login to your MYGFU account
– Â Â Â Click on SELF SERVICE
– Â Â Â Click on CAMPUS PERSONAL INFORMATION
– Â Â Â Click on PHONE NUMBERS
– Â Â Â On the PHONE TYPE pick list, choose the phone type you are registering.
– Â Â Â Type in your contact information
– Â Â Â Click SAVE
– Â Â Â If you need to add a number, first click on ADD A PHONE NUMBER
– Â Â Â Make sure you click SAVE after each change.
When contacted by PHONE the number you will see is: 503-554-2007.
Your safety is very important to us. Â Thank you for your participation!

The Staff Development Committee has budgeted funds for use by support staff members to attend seminars that will enhance their job skills and professional development. The Professional Development Fund will cover a portion of the seminar fee as follows: Up to 50 percent of the total cost, with a maximum of $75. For seminars over $500, reimbursement is $100.
Each support staff member is limited to one use of this fund per fiscal year. Funds are available until used up, so apply as early as possible. If you have questions, please contact Barbi Doran, Staff Development Committee chair, at ext. 2099 or visit our website at sdc.georgefox.edu.
Staff and faculty: Security Services spent the summer preparing Emergency Response Guides for each classroom on campus, and they have now all been installed. Please look for this bright yellow guide in your classroom and familiarize yourselves with the nearest exits, location of fire extinguishers and pull boxes, and what to do for various types of emergencies before you need the information!
There is also a floor plan on the last page of each guide indicating the location of nearest exits, pull stations, etc. Addresses for the building are on the front cover so you can give that to emergency personnel when you call 911. Please remember to also call security if you’ve called 911 from a cell phone so we can assist you with the emergency.
Please take a few moments to point out exit routes and other pertinent information to the students in your classroom at the beginning of each semester. Security personnel would be happy to answer any questions you might have at ext. 2090.
