The Daily Bruin

Did you know that the Maker Hub has foam cutters? These are perfect for making custom-fit camera cases, fake rocks, theater props, and artistic decorations. To see what they can do, check out this video of a lighted Christmas-themed sign that was made with the same model foam cutter we have in the Maker Hub.

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the whole George Fox family, so please feel free to come and use our tools for your projects!

If you would like to get connected or have any questions, please contact Nick Sullivan at nsullivan@georgefox.edu.

Bring your friends and come out to the quad next Friday, Sept. 10, from 5 to 7 p.m. for the first Spikeball Club of the year! All skill levels are welcome for both casual and competitive play. We will be meeting around this time every Friday for the rest of the semester.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Nate Barfield at nbarfield18@georgefox.edu.

Do you have a chronic illness? Would you like to connect with other students who have a chronic illness? if so, join us today (Friday) from 5 to 6 p.m. on Zoom for our first gathering.

We’ll have a time to share (or not, if you don’t feel comfortable!), get to know each other and talk about ways we can connect this semester. Contact das@georgefox.edu for more information!

Come cheer on your George Fox Bruins as they take on the University of Redlands at our opening football game this Saturday, Sept. 4! Kickoff is set for 7:05 p.m. at Stoffer Family Stadium. Wear neon and get ready to be loud!

Admission is free for all George Fox student and employees. Join us pregame for the Starlight Parade at 5:30 p.m. Look for more information from student activities.

A tailgate opens at 5:30 p.m., and vendors will include Chick-Fil-A, Miss Hannah’s Popcorn, and Dutch Bros (can’t get much better than that!) This is a game you won’t want to miss! We’ll see you there, Bruins!

Reminders: Please have all cars removed from the Bauman parking lot by 10 p.m. Friday night.
Per state regulations, masks are required.

Free Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer COVID vaccines are available at the Health & Counseling Center!

We will be scheduling in groups of five to six, as an open vial must be used within a few hours. Call the Health Center today to schedule an appointment at 503-554-2340.

Do you have celiac disease? Are you gluten-intolerant? Come join us for a celiac group open house!

We’ll have celiac-safe goodies, coffee, and time to connect. Come with your ideas for events/activities for the year. If you want to connect with other people who know about avoiding gluten … come on over! We’re meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 7, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the ARC (Murdock library, main floor).

Contact Andrea Byerley (abyerley@georgefox.edu) or Carrie Kisling (ckisling@georgefox.edu) if you have questions or if you’d like to be involved but can’t come on Sept. 7.

The Maker Hub would like to welcome back the whole Fox community with a fun game night tonight (Thursday) from 4 to 7 p.m. This will include vintage Atari video games and boardgames.

We are also encouraging folks to bring their own gaming consoles and hook them up to the flat-screen TVs in the meeting rooms. LAN party in the computer lab, anyone? No need to RSVP, just show up!

This event will also double as a Quiz Party. You may be aware that you need to pass a Canvas quiz to gain access to the Maker Hub (link found on the Maker Hub wiki page). But don’t worry, the quiz is not a requirement for the game night; the doors will be propped open.

We are treating it like an open-house event, so bring your friends, have fun, look around, ask questions, and take the quiz if you would like to get connected with the Maker Hub.

Please contact Nick Sullivan (nsullivan@georgefox.edu) if you have questions.

The Office for Spiritual Life is looking for Life Group leaders for our fall 2021 Life Groups series (the weeks of Sept. 10 through Nov. 12).

Life Groups are small groups of undergraduate students who meet together for prayer, Bible study and fellowship. Groups meet weekly for 60 to 90 minutes. This fall our groups will be either in person or completely via Zoom (this provides access for our George Fox Digital students).

We welcome our employees, current seniors, alumni, family members of George Fox employees and students, and members of our wonderful local churches to consider leading a group. For more information and to sign up, visit this webpage or contact the Office for Spiritual Life at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.

Three things you need to know about COVID-19 and campus life:

1. Wear your face masks where required. By state mandate, masks are required in indoor public spaces and at outdoor public settings where six feet of physical distancing is not possible.

2. Let us know if you have symptoms. Students and employees who experience COVID-19 or cold symptoms should quarantine and let the university know by completing the COVID Care Form. We can help you – and protect our community – if you let us know.

3. Free COVID testing and vaccinations are available on the Newberg campus. Contact the Health and Counseling Center to make an appointment (503-554-2340).
