The Daily Bruin

University Recreation is hosting a Wilderness First Responder Course on the Newberg campus the week of Aug. 6-10. If you enjoy spending lots of time outdoors, this is a great opportunity to equip you to help others and respond to incidents when they occur.

The course is taught in a hybrid format, with 30-plus hours of self-directed pre-course review and 40-plus hours of in-person learning over a five-day period. Completion results in a three-year, professional-level certification.

The last day to register is Monday, July 18. Go to this link for more details or to register.

As summer progresses we will be issuing updates to parking and registration for the upcoming school year. Registration for new permits will open up mid-late July. Keep an eye out for email and Daily Bruin notices for updated information.

This fall at George Fox will bring changes to parking that will result in fewer spaces to park. We strongly encourage you to carefully consider if you need to have a vehicle on campus. Riding a bike and carpooling are good alternatives to bringing a vehicle, and since our campus is centrally located, it puts us within easy walking distance to a multitude of shopping and entertainment options.

The Morse lot is a little-known option for parking for both residents and commuters. We strongly encourage you to utilize this option. Nighttime escorts are available from the Morse lot by contacting the Campus Public Safety office.

What to do when registration opens up for the fall semester:

• Returning students: You will not need a new parking permit if you still have the same vehicle and residency status as last year. However, if you have changed your status from resident to commuter or vice versa, or are bringing a different vehicle to campus, you will need to register for a new parking permit.
• New students: You will need to register your vehicle at mygeorgefox.edu under “Campus Resources”

If you have any questions, contact Karen Toohey at 503-554-2091. Have a great summer, and we look forward to seeing you in the fall!
