The Daily Bruin

The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for today (Tuesday). As per our heat protocol, please follow these steps:

• Stay hydrated by drinking water every 20 minutes.
• Schedule more strenuous work in the cooler parts of the day such as the morning.
• If your building does not have air conditioning, take advantage of cooler buildings such as the Murdock Library, Klages, or Canyon Commons.
• Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., check on fellow employees every hour to two hours.
• Know the symptoms of heat-related illnesses.

If you have any questions about best practices during high heat, please contact Kim Knoernschild, our environmental health, and safety specialist, at kknoernschild@georgefox.edu.

Join us on Saturday, Aug. 17, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. as we host our inaugural Prayer for Oregon Schools event by the Centennial Tower in the quad! We will engage in a time of worship, small-group and/or individual prayer, and fellowship.

Bring your family and friends (as well as something to sit on) as we pray for the upcoming school year. We’ll pray for our K-12 and higher ed students, faculty, staff, parents, school communities, boards, leaders and more.

It’s our hope that people will join us as we step out in faith as the church and prayerfully invite the Lord into this area that needs more light – our Oregon schools. The event is open to anyone who has a desire to come collectively in prayer and bring our schools and the people who are in them to the feet of Jesus.

A guided prayer booklet will also be available for those interested in additional points of prayer for the event. Please do not hesitate to contact Sara Hahn-Huston, assistant professor of educational leadership in the College of Education, at shahnhuston@georgefox.edu for more information, or if you would like a digital postcard invitation to share with friends.
